Tech journalist Rob Waugh explains: To be honest, I’ve always been slightly scared of desktop gaming PCs — the custom-built racing cars of the gaming world. While the idea of building my own has been daunting to me, I’ve always been excited about the raw power and potential of a PC which is hand-built to include the latest and greatest graphics cards and chips — not to mention racks of silicon illuminated by multi-coloured LEDs. This is why CyberPowerPC’s pre-built systems had me at, ‘Hello’: they offer the unbridled gaming power of a desktop PC and come armed with the latest NVIDIA RTX 40-Series GPUs, built to deliver incredible performance and stunning graphical effects in ray-tracing.
All this comes with the added benefit of being ready to go right out of the box. Best of all, there’s a whole range of them on sale for Prime Day right now. PC gaming has always felt like the ‘connoisseur’s choice’ compared to console gaming — the chatter online about PC gaming can make the whole idea of buying and maintaining your hardware seem like an incredibly complex undertaking.
I often felt ‘locked out’ of the unique benefits provided by gaming on an NVIDIA card, just because it all seemed so confusing. But, now having played with two of CyberPowerPC systems, it’s clear it couldn’t be more different from what I’d feared: they ship pre-built, and plug into a monitor as easily as a games console plugs into a TV. I got hands on with the Luxe Gaming PCs �.
