If you're looking for a gaming PC for ultra graphics settings, 4K resolution and the fastest-flowing gameplay with the highest FPS, then look no further! Gaming enthusiasts, e-athletes and streamers get uncompromising high-end systems built for the best possible performance when they buy one of our high-end gaming PCs.
Whether it’s an off-the-shelf system or custom-assembled: The focus isn’t just on brute computing power featuring components from the top gaming brands. It’s on the high-quality design, optimum cooling, minimal noise and total reliability even under the most intense loads when using AAA games, demanding applications or streaming. All brought together in unique high-end systems for those who don’t want to compromise.
What’s important to have in high-end gaming PCs?
Powerful components A real high-end gaming PC primarily needs a powerful CPU, an efficient graphic card, lots of memory (RAM) and fast SSD memory. In addition to a high-quality power supply for maximum stability and mainboards with extra features and lots of connection options.
Perfect balance Just throwing together the most expensive components won’t guarantee the best high-end performance. Without fine adjustments, bottlenecks can occur, meaning that the weak or unsuitable component will slow down other components. The result: you won’t get the best performance from your high-end gaming PC.
Efficient cooling Extreme performance means more heat. Effective cooling is therefore essential so that your high-end PC delivers top performance at all times, even under demanding loads. Water cooling units are often the best choice for high-end systems.
The best CPU for high-end gaming PCs
A good processor core count and fast clock speeds are essential for high-end CPUs. Having more cores enables multitasking and smooth performance for demanding games and applications. If you're looking for future-proof high-end gaming, the CPU needs at least 8 cores and a clock speed of 4 GHz.
AMD Ryzen high-end CPUs Ryzen processors from AMD offer excellent value for money for high-end gaming. Top models like the Ryzen 9 impress with plenty of cores and high efficiency; perfect for hardcore gamers. The AMD X3D models are specifically optimized for even more gaming performance.
Intel Core high-end CPUs: Intel Core i9 processors are the best of the best for high-end gaming. Extremely fast clock speeds and multiple cores provide outstanding gaming performance. The Intel Core ‘K’ and ‘KF’ processors are also compatible with overclocking, which boosts performance even further.
The best graphics card for high-end gaming PCs
For high-end gaming with ultra graphics quality and high frame rates (FPS), you need a graphics card with plenty of graphic memory (VRAM) and a fast clock speed. Current high-end GPUs offer at least 12 GB VRAM. At least 16 GB VRAM are recommended for 4K gaming.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 40 series The RTX 40 series graphics cards offer advanced ray tracing and AI-powered features including DLSS 3.0, which significantly increases frame rates. For maximum 4K performance, the GeForce RTX 4090 with 24 GB VRAM is the way to go. A lower-priced option for 4K gaming is the RTX 4080 (Super) with 16 GB VRAM or the RTX 4070 (Super) with 12 GB VRAM for QHD.
AMD Radeon high-end GPUs AMD Radeon RX 7000 graphics cards are a strong alternative to NVIDIA for high-end systems and offer excellent performance for their price. The top-of-the-range Radeon RX 7900 XTX with 24 GB VRAM is ideal for 4K gaming. Another option is the Radeon RX 7900 XT with 20 GB VRAM, which is a powerful and affordable choice for high-end gaming PCs.
Memory for high-end gaming: RAM and SSD
Faster DDR5 RAM for increased performance Memory is crucial for system speed. DDR5 RAM ensures smooth gaming thanks to its fast clock speed. We recommend at least 16 GB, (ideally 32 GB) of DDR5 RAM with 5600 MHz or higher for a future-proof high-end gaming PC. 64 GB RAM or more might be necessary for demanding applications such as video editing and 3D modeling.
Fast SSDs for short loading times Fast SSDs don’t just reduce loading times, they also improve system response times. They're a must for any high-end gaming PC. We recommend an M.2 NVME SSD with at least 1 TB capacity for the operating system and games, plus a classic high-capacity SATA SSD or HDD for larger amounts of data.

The best cooling for high-end gaming PCs
The case – more than just aesthetics To achieve maximum performance, high-end PC components need sufficient space and good airflow to prevent heat build-up. A large case with good ventilation, room for a powerful CPU cooler and plenty of fan space is ideal for a high-end gaming PC. Our high-end gaming PC configurator offers you a wide selection of high-quality mid and full towers with great designs and optimal airflow..
Our high-end gaming PC configurator When it comes to high-end gaming PCs, all-in-one water cooling is often better than air cooling because it’s quieter and more efficient. We recommend using at least a 240 mm radiator, (preferably 360 mm) to ensure optimal cooling of powerful high-end CPUs.
Custom water cooling If you want the best of the best, go for a custom-built water-cooling system. Water-cooled gaming PCs offer the best cooling performance and impressive aesthetics; every high-end system becomes a custom-built design highlight.

Cost:
how much should you pay for a high-end gaming PC?
A high-end gaming PC is an investment in high-quality hardware. Prices for high-performance hardware start at around €2,000. But for maximum performance, you should plan on spending around €3,500 especially when gaming in 4K. This amount ensures that you get top-quality components and a long product lifespan.
How
long will a high-end gaming PC last?
Premium quality high-end PC components can easily last 5 years or more, depending on how much they are used and how well they are maintained. But extreme conditions, e.g. heavy overclocking, excessive dust and overheating can shorten their lifespan.
A well-equipped high-end gaming PC should easily last 4 to 5 years for current high-quality games. Upgrades such as a new GPU can even extend its lifespan. To help you with this, Joule Performance offers an upgrade service including advice, modification and a fresh warranty.
Which
gamers stand to benefit from a high-end gaming PC?
A high-end gaming PC is particularly worthwhile for serious gamers and gaming enthusiasts who want a smooth experience playing graphics-intensive games in WQHD or 4K. VR gaming and titles with high FPS requirements also benefit massively from the fast processing power and speed delivered by high-end systems.
What do you need for
a 4K gaming PC?
For 4K gaming, you of course need a 4K gaming monitor. A capable 4K PC has to deliver performance and therefore needs powerful high-end components:
a graphics card with at least 16 GB VRAM. Current top recommendations include the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090 and AMD Radeon RX 7900 XTX
a high-end CPU with plenty of cores, such as Intel Core i9 or AMD Ryzen 9 (X3D)
At least 16 GB RAM. We recommend 32 GB RAM or more
What do you need for a VR gaming PC?
For VR gaming, you need a fast CPU, like the Intel i9 or AMD Ryzen 9, and a high-end graphics card e.g. the NVIDIA RTX 4080 or AMD RX 7900 XT. You should also factor in at least 32 GB of RAM and a fast SSD, ideally an M.2 NVMe SSD, for short loading times.
Put together your own high-end gaming PC or buy
a pre-built PC?
Building your own PC can be a difficult task as high-end hardware is expensive and complex, and requires extensive knowledge of individual components. Pre-built PCs have the advantage that all high-end components are already perfectly matched, professionally assembled and tested. A complete high-end PC from Joule Performance means you benefit from an optimized system, a 3-year warranty and the convenience of hassle-free service and support.
