Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in 1981, with the love affair starting on a Sinclair ZX81 in kit form and a book on ZX Basic. He ended up becoming a physics and IT teacher, but by the late 1990s decided it was time to cut his teeth writing for a long defunct UK tech site.

Take a fast eight-core CPU, bags of speed DDR5, and a great mid-range GPU, and you've got an awesome gaming PC. Make it less than $1,500 to buy and it'd almost be perfect.The sweet spot price for a new, pre-built gaming PC is arguably $1,500. While you can easily spend less or more than this, the hardware that's available for this price is not only capable of blasting through most games around at the moment, but it'll also be perfectly fine for years to come.

There's always one party pooper and in this case, it's the storage. It's a Kingston 1TB SSD and while it's perfectly decent for the money, I'd prefer to see more capacity than this, as the price difference between 1TB and 2TB isn't very big. I know it doesn't seem all that long ago when we were saying things like 'Wow, this has a 1TB SSD in it!' but tech moves fast these days, and it feels a bit mean to only get 1TB now.
