What matters in a gaming PC:
CPU for gaming: The processor (CPU) is the beating heart of your PC. When it comes to gaming, the latest generation of Intel Core and AMD Ryzen processors are ideal since they offer high clock speeds and numerous cores. A powerful CPU ensures that your PC can complete all tasks quickly and efficiently, which is especially important for CPU-intensive gaming. Intel Core i7 and i9 processors or AMD Ryzen 5, Ryzen 7 and Ryzen 9 processors are ideal for gaming.
Graphics card for gaming: A powerful graphics card is essential to ensuring seamless gameplay in high resolution. NVIDIA RTX and AMD Radeon graphics cards are the top picks here at the moment. Not only do they offer an outstanding performance, but they also boast special technologies like ray tracing for realistic light and shadow effects. The memory of the graphics card (V-RAM) is important. The graphics card of a gaming PC should have at least 8 GB of video memory.
Working memory (RAM): At least 16 GB RAM is recommended for modern gaming to ensure your system runs smoothly even mid-game. Added RAM enables your PC to process more data simultaneously, resulting in a faster and smoother gaming experience. We recommend 32 GB RAM to ensure you enjoy your gaming PC for a long time to come.
Hard drives/SSDs: An SSD ensures fast loading times. A combination of SSD (for operating system and games) and HDD (for data) offers great value for money. SSDs are significantly quicker than standard hard drives, something that is particularly advantageous for large games. For more on this, see our «guide “SSDs for Gaming PCs».
Power supply unit: A reliable power supply unit with adequate power is essential. It provides all components with a stable supply of electricity. A high-quality power supply unit will protect your hardware from voltage peaks and ensure that your system remains stable even while operating at full capacity. You can find tips for choosing the right power supply unit in our «guide “power supply for gaming PCs».

FAQ – key questions when it comes to gaming PCs
What’s the best PC for gaming?
There’s no one best PC for every gamer. The PC that's best for you depends on your performance, esthetic and budget preferences. You’ll find tips in our guides to help you find your ideal gaming PC. Our team of experts can help you find the perfect gaming system too: CONTACT
Why buy a ready-made gaming PC as opposed to
building one yourself?
Purchasing a ready-made gaming PC offers countless advantages. First of all, choosing the right components can be complicated and ensuring that all the parts are compatible requires technical know-how. Secondly, building a PC brings with it the risk of damaging sensitive parts, which can lead to costly damage.
It will also save you significant time, since building a PC can take countless hours if you don’t have any prior experience. Ready-made PCs are built and tested by professionals to ensure they run seamlessly in every respect. The warranty on the whole system, as opposed to on individual components, makes troubleshooting easier and more stress-free in the event of an issue covered by warranty.
And finally, manufacturers like Joule Performance offer excellent customer service, tailored advice and support. All in all, purchasing a ready-made gaming PC is a safe, convenient and reliable option.
How much does a gaming PC cost?
Costs vary depending on what is required. Prices are influenced by factors like CPU, graphics card and storage capacity. Entry-level models are cheaper, high-end PCs are more expensive. Likewise, the quality of the components is another factor in the price of a gaming PC: high-quality components from renowned manufacturers may be more expensive, but offer more power, more features and a longer useful life than unbranded gaming components.
At Joule Performance you will find a wide range of gaming PCs to suit every budget:
If you’re looking for the perfect gaming PC, it’s crucial to find the right manufacturer or shop. Here are three key aspects that will help you to identify a good PC manufacturer:
High-quality components: Good gaming PC manufacturers only use components from well-known hardware manufacturers. Choosing the right components is essential to the performance and longevity of your gaming PC.
Quality and reliability: A good gaming PC manufacturer will test each system thoroughly to make sure all of the components work seamlessly. In addition to this, a comprehensive warranty will give you peace of mind that you are covered in the event of a problem.
Customer service: Good support should be easily reachable, i.e. by email, phone or chat, and all queries answered competently. Technical support, assistance with problems and an extended warranty period are essential. Excellent gaming PC manufacturers also offer additional services, such as upgrades and customer adaptations.
Joule Performance offers the highest quality, comprehensive service and extensive testing – a safe purchase! We prioritize customer satisfaction and stock only the best gaming PCs with high-quality components.
When is it worth investing in a gaming PC?
A specialist gaming PC is worth it if you want to enjoy top gaming quality in complex, sophisticated games. A strong gaming PC is also ideal for VR gaming and multi-tasking. Classic office PCs generally have CPUs with limited performance and no dedicated graphics cards. While this may “kinda” work with older games with simpler graphics with newer or more graphically sophisticated games, the hardware quickly runs out of steam. Gaming PCs are equipped with optimized hardware that offer superior performance and additional functions, for instance better cooling or AI features that improve graphics.
Ultimately, if you play regularly, or want to enjoy the outstanding graphics of the latest games releases, it’s well worth investing in a gaming PC. At Joule Performance you’ll find the perfect gaming PC for your needs – powerful, reliable and custom-built for you.

Gaming PC recommendations for Fortnite:
Processor: Intel Core i7/AMD Ryzen 7
RAM: at least 16 GB
Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX 4060/RTX 4070 Super
How much electricity does a gaming PC use?
A gaming PC can use varying degrees of electricity depending on hardware and use. The average electricity consumed by a gaming PC ranges from 300 to 600 watts. High-end gaming PCs with particularly powerful hardware can even reach up to 800 watts. Factors such as the processor, the graphics card and the use of peripheral devices influence consumption.
Take the power supply unit into consideration when choosing your gaming PC. It should have as high as possible an energy efficiency rating (gold or higher). To keep power consumption to a minimum during gaming, opt for ultra efficient CPUs and graphics cards. And look out for good cooling, to ensure no excess energy is being lost to waste heat.
Entry-level gaming PCs: Perfect for price-conscious gamers who are looking for the best performance for their budget. These PCs offer a solid basis for most games and are deal for gamers who just want to dip their toe into the world of PC gaming, play less power-hungry games or who simply want to play in FHD (1080p).
High-end gaming PCs: For the ultimate performance and sophisticated gaming without limits. These systems are equipped with the best components, the most powerful processors and graphics cards, and offer an unrivaled gaming experience, even for the most sophisticated titles at high resolutions up to 4K
