If you want the most beautiful, the smoothest, and the absolutely eye-popping best gaming experience available, then nothing's more important in your gaming rig than your graphics card. GFX cards range from the 'budget' entries which, although cheap, can still come close to matching next-gen consoles graphically, all the way through to the top-of-the-range gigantic beasts that can hit resolutions above 4K, and whose prices go into four-figures. Spend as much money as you can on your gfx card, no other components (within reason) can bottleneck its performance enough make a difference. They are the main power behind PC gaming, and as they become even more advanced - and more people build their own rigs - the PC will increase in popularity as a gaming platform. What other gaming PC must haves would you consider important?
Lover of all things PC. A fan of inserting indelible ink into the dermis layer of the skin. Remembers when 'geek' was an insult. Still passionately believes Vampire: The Masquerade - Bloodlines was the greatest game ever made.
