Advice needed about a gaming PC

Lotus

I currently play games on an xbox but I'm considering getting a gaming PC. I need it to be Windows OS as I want to use a controller rather than mouse & keyboard for games, and I understand that Windows supports XBox controllers. I also would prefer a case that isn't transparent or gaudy, I just want a plain looking machine that's as compact as possible. Apart from that, I haven't a clue what specs to look for.

Any recommendations for an easy to use games PC that is powerful enough to play games like Inzoi, Fallout 4, Assassins Creed odyssey, Hogwarts Legacy, etc?

  • A lot depends on what your budget is, Thanks to the ongoing AI hysteria graphics cards and RAM are incredibly expensive. to get a basic model that will play most games even if it's at the lowest settings you're talking around £500-700 for a top of the line gaming machine with all the latest bells and whistles £3000 or so. I assume you'd also need a monitor and Windows (you could use Linux but I wouldn't recommend it for gaming.) 

    You might be able to get a second-hand or refurbished model for cheaper but I wouldn't guarantee it or necessarily recommend it, if it's not from a reputable supplier.

    You can also build your own, if you buy the parts separate and assemble them yourself (or pay someone to do it for you.) this can often be much cheaper than buying a pre-built PC but requires some specialist knowledge to do so there are websites and plenty of enthusiastic amateurs who can talk you through it though.
