With increasing complex and immersive games being released, the requirements for modern day gaming computers have become more and more demanding every year. For example, in 1994, Doom (the first game to use immersive 3D graphics), required 4 MB of RAM and a CPU speed of around 40 MHz. However, Doom 3, released ten years later, requires 384 MB of RAM, a 1.5 GHz CPU or better, a 64 MB video card and at least 2 GB of hard drive space.
In this section you'll find a guide to the PC components you'll need to build or update a computer in order to run the fastest and most visually complex games, along with information about maximising the performance of a gaming computer.
