Best Gaming PCs in the UK

On sale now, the ADMI (9400F) Gaming PC makes an offer that most gamers will not be able to refuse. When you look at the model's specs and its price tag and then back at the specs since the two do not make that much sense, this machine becomes an easy choice to make. We're not saying that the rig is without its flaws, that's not the claim we're making. The claim we're making is that the flaws are negligible, with the biggest being the fans producing more noise than you'd expect from the company's normally quiet builds. We're not necessarily enthusiastic about the bronze-rated 550-watt PSU since that means future upgrades will also require you to invest in a new power supply unit but, again, this is not that important.

What's important is that this desktop PC runs most games and should be able to run them for the next few years. First and foremost, what allows this machine to handle all titles, both relatively old and the ones that have just hit the virtual shelves, is the six-gigabyte GeForce RTX 2060 graphics card. This tried-and-tested GPU leaves very little to be desired, even when you set the in-game presets to the highest graphics settings and refuse to settle for 1080p.

The card easily keeps the fps around 100-110 at 1440p when you're playing Fortnite and even sits at around 60 fps with the same resolution and settings running games like Borderlands 3 that's not been optimised at all (shame, Gearbox Software, shame-shame). From The Division 2 to Final Fantasy XV, the card produces great results (around 70 fps), keeping the gameplay smooth and fluid.

Computers tend to be used for more than just a single purpose. Even hardcore gamers who enjoy having a great gaming computer will also want to do much more than just play games on it. School projects, work, and content creation are all some of the uses that people use their computers for, and as such, they want a computer that excels at all of these tasks. If this is the same for you, then you should take a look at the Fierce PC CRUI594F16-12 High FPS Gaming PC.

This computer is a great choice for most gamers as a good all-around plug-and-play computer. It will easily perform tasks of any complexity in addition to gaming, such as running the office applications that you need for work or school, video production software, Photoshop or other art programs, and many other types of software.

The NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card that is included in this computer is probably the highlight here, and will deliver good performance in new games for years to come. This graphics card includes a whopping 12 GB of RAM, which along with its overall fast performance will ensure that your games will run well even at high resolution and with ultra-high settings, putting it in stiff competition with even the latest video game consoles. You can say goodbye to low framerates or other performance issues in your favourite games.

Not everyone can afford a high-end gaming PC. Many gamers end up having to save up money for months just to get a gaming PC that can run their games at an acceptable level. But what if there was a good budget gaming PC that could give you excellent performance without having to pay an arm and a leg for it? The good news is, there already is one, and it is the ADMI AD-6350-FLCN-1050-B8 Gaming PC. This budget gaming PC gives you good enough performance to run your games at a high level without you having to save up a ton of money just in order to afford it.

What really helps this PC in delivering top-tier performance at a budget price is the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G Quad Core 4.2GHz CPU with the AMD RX Vega 11 graphics integrated into the processor. For those who aren't familiar with the AMD Ryzen line of processors, these CPUs from AMD give you high levels of performance at a price point much lower than that of their Intel counterparts. Thanks to this, you can run your games at high settings without having to worry about low frame rates or laggy performance in your favourite games, all while still having a PC that runs your other software without any hitches. And the best part is, this PC is quite affordable compared to most of the others on this list.

Gamers can be a finicky bunch, especially when it comes to their gaming rigs. Just having a powerful computer with a high-end graphics card is only part of the equation. Another part that is equally important to many gamers is having a PC that not just runs powerful, but looks powerful and stylish too. The creative minds at CyberpowerPC are well aware of this, and this is reflected in their latest product, the Wyvern Gaming PC. This computer comes with high-end hardware packed in a stylish case that will look good in any gamer's room, making their computer the envy of their peers.

Within this very stylish case is a six-core Intel Core i5-9400F Processor running at up to 4.1 Ghz, giving you exceptional performance whether you are gaming or performing other tasks with your computer. The Nvidia GeForce GTX 1650 4GB Graphics Card gives you the capability to run your favourite games at high settings without having to worry about performance issues affecting your gameplay. Coupled with the very capable graphics card is 16GB of 2400MHz DDR4 RAM, letting your computer run every game smoothly, as well as providing enough memory for lots of multitasking. In short, if you like to run a lot of applications at once, this computer will be hard to slow down no matter how heavy your tasks are.

The Fierce PC (CRUI594F16) hits and, barring an exception or two, does not miss. Taking into account the price first, this is not the system that we would recommend taking lightly. Will its hardware be able to tussle with gaming PCs' that cost twice as much? Of course not. But, again, as long as you keep the price tag in mind first, this machine will not disappoint. To get the ball rolling, gaming computers always start with their respective graphics cards, hence the system's GeForce GTX 1650.

Unless you start comparing this GPU with much more expensive upper echelon cards, its 1080p performance is nothing to sneeze at. Ditch ultra presets, set the game to High graphics settings (the difference between them is seldom huge anyway), and you'll be able to play most games at ~50 fps. Having said that, even at the highest presets, Battlefield V will average ~47 fps, Destiny 2 will run without dropping below 58 fps (besides the 99th percentile frame), Forza Horizon 4 should work at ~51 fps on average (again, even without going from ultra to high presets).

Sure, you will face some issues with poorly optimised titles like Shadow of the Tomb Raider (~32 average fps count at ultra presets) and Metro: Last Light Redux (pretty much the same numbers) but this is not something you can solve without ponying up much more than what the people behind this gaming PC are asking for.
