Gaming PCs Reviews

The HP Pavilion Gaming 15 laptop is an affordable gaming machine with strong performance and loud speakers, but a bland display. Make sure you get enough storage.

The Alienware Aurora R10 Ryzen Edition delivers impressive performance thanks to a 32-thread AMD Ryzen 9 3950X an Nvidia GeForce 2080 Ti. But it needs better cooling.

The Dell G5 Gaming Desktop is a compact, affordable entry-level rig, though there’s only so much upgrading you can do with it.

Maingear's latest Vybe runs quiet and looks understated (for a gaming desktop). But the case could be nicer--especially in the $2,499 quick-ship configuration.

The Alienware Aurora R8 is a bulky gaming rig that offers strong performance and a whole lot of ports.

Walmart’s Overpowered Gaming Desktop DTW3 is cheap and offers solid gaming performance, but those savings come from questionable parts, which are housed in a questionable design.

The Corsair Vengeance 5180 Gaming PC is a beautiful micro-ATX machine that’s easy to upgrade but has a last-gen processor that isn’t as powerful as we would like.

The MSI Trident X is a powerful, compact machine that can be upgraded with standardized parts at a good price.

You’ll pay a lot for the Asus ROG Strix GL12CX, but this desktop is a powerhouse gaming rig that shows games at their very best and comes with great peripherals.
