Beginner’s Guide to Upgrading Your PC for Gaming

Introduction

Gaming can push your PC to its limits. The good news? You can often upgrade your existing machine instead of buying a new one. Here’s where to start.


1. Upgrade Your Graphics Card

The GPU has the biggest impact on gaming performance.


2. Add More RAM

8GB is fine for light gaming, but 16GB+ is ideal for modern titles.


3. Install an SSD

Faster loading times mean less waiting and more playing.


4. Improve Cooling

Better airflow keeps your components running at top speed.
