<ol data-start="1253" data-end="2672">
<li data-start="1253" data-end="1527">
<p data-start="1256" data-end="1527"><strong data-start="1256" data-end="1275">Processor (CPU)<br data-start="1275" data-end="1278" />The CPU is the brain of your PC, handling everything from in-game physics to AI behavior. AMD Ryzen and Intel Core processors are the most popular choices, with higher-end models like the Ryzen 7/9 and Intel i7/i9 offering top-tier performance.

</li>
<li data-start="1529" data-end="1772">
<p data-start="1532" data-end="1772"><strong data-start="1532" data-end="1555">Graphics Card (GPU)<br data-start="1555" data-end="1558" />The GPU is the most important component for gaming. NVIDIA GeForce RTX and AMD Radeon RX series graphics cards provide excellent performance, ray tracing capabilities, and high frame rates for smooth gameplay.

</li>
<li data-start="1774" data-end="1995">
<p data-start="1777" data-end="1995"><strong data-start="1777" data-end="1793">Memory (RAM)<br data-start="1793" data-end="1796" />For gaming, 16GB of RAM is the standard, but 32GB is recommended for multitasking and content creation. Faster RAM speeds (e.g., 3200MHz or higher) can also improve performance in certain games.

</li>
<li data-start="1997" data-end="2230">
<p data-start="2000" data-end="2230"><strong data-start="2000" data-end="2023">Storage (SSD & HDD)<br data-start="2023" data-end="2026" />A solid-state drive (SSD) significantly reduces game loading times compared to traditional hard drives. A 1TB NVMe SSD is a great starting point, with additional HDD storage for large game libraries.

</li>
<li data-start="2232" data-end="2458">
<p data-start="2235" data-end="2458"><strong data-start="2235" data-end="2253">Cooling System<br data-start="2253" data-end="2256" />High-performance PCs generate heat, so investing in proper cooling is essential. Air coolers work well for most builds, but liquid cooling provides superior temperature control for high-end setups.

</li>
<li data-start="2460" data-end="2672">
<p data-start="2463" data-end="2672"><strong data-start="2463" data-end="2485">Power Supply (PSU)<br data-start="2485" data-end="2488" />A reliable power supply ensures system stability. Choose an 80+ Gold or Platinum-rated PSU with enough wattage to support your components, plus extra capacity for future upgrades.
