How we test gaming PCs at GamesRadar+

Acer Predator Orion X review of the PC next to another ITX chassis.

Here at GamesRadar+, we test out a lot of gaming hardware. Perhaps most tricky of all due to the technical processes and potential troubleshooting, are gaming PCs. We're well aware from plenty of hands-on time with PCs and components that they can be tricky to wrap your head around. When they cost as much as they do, we deem it of the utmost importance to test them thoroughly so that when you go to buy one, you can trust our recommendations.

Our broad testing ethos is fairly holistic, as noted in our full GamesRadar+ Hardware policy. We focus on value, as well as power, but we also want to provide you with coverage that you'll find useful. When we see others review the best gaming PCs, we see a lot of bogged-down detail and information the majority of people will never need to know, let alone understand. We focus on that nitty gritty stuff for you but try to make our explanations and criticism approachable for folks who haven't owned PCs before.
