What is a graphics card?

A graphics card generates the image output feed that heads to your computer monitor. Some graphics cards are integrated with a computer’s core processing unit, but a good standalone graphic card can deliver stunning images and animations, significantly improving gaming enjoyment or graphic design detail.

I am a hardcore PC gamer, how much RAM do I need to gain an edge?

In most cases, 16 GB of random access memory (RAM) is plenty. However, if you stream games or also plan to use your computer for watching videos, it is often worthwhile to upgrade to 32 GB of RAM for optimal performance in all uses.

What is the refresh rate on a computer monitor?

The refresh rate on a computer monitor is how frequently it can redraw a new image, effectively the speed the animation can move without blurring. For example, a 144 Hz monitor can redraw the image 144 times per second, whereas a 240 Hz monitor does so 240 times per second, resulting in a clearer animation. Gamers benefit from the highest-possible refresh rate, but they also need the graphic card and core processing unit capable of maximizing the refresh rate to enjoy the maximum benefit.
