2026 build guide

Build your own gaming PC

A good PC starts with what you want to do with it. This guide helps you choose your parts in the right order and make sure they work together.

Start configuring

What games do you play, and on what screen?

List the games you play, the resolution you want to play at and your monitor’s refresh rate. Include streaming, video editing or work if you use the same computer for those tasks.

That way, you can spend your budget on the parts that matter for the way you use your PC.

Gaming PC and monitor in use

Choose a graphics card for your monitor

The graphics card has a big impact on image quality and how smoothly games run. Check independent benchmarks for the games you play at your monitor’s resolution. Make sure the card fits your case and your power supply has the right connectors.

Pick a processor to match

Choose a processor that suits your graphics card and how you use your PC. The processor can matter more in competitive games at high refresh rates. Extra processing power is helpful if you stream or run other tasks while gaming. Then check which motherboard socket and cooler fit your chosen processor.

Choose memory and storage

Choose enough RAM for your games and apps. Check which memory type and speeds the motherboard and processor support. An SSD is a practical choice for Windows, games and files. Choose a capacity based on how much you want to keep installed at once.

Check the motherboard and power supply

Check the motherboard socket, memory slots, storage options, networking and form factor. Choose a power supply with the right connectors and enough capacity for your parts, with room for future upgrades. The wattage you need depends on the parts you choose.

Leave room for cooling and cables

Check the maximum graphics card length and CPU cooler height, as well as space for fans or a radiator. Good airflow helps keep performance and noise levels stable. Liquid cooling is an option if you want a particular look or layout. A suitable air cooler can also be an excellent choice.

Double-check your build

Before ordering, check that all the parts fit and work together. Review the socket, memory, power supply, connectors and dimensions. Check whether you need an operating system, Wi-Fi, extra storage or peripherals. Our team can help you check your choices.
