What specs should a gaming PC have for 1080p gaming?

For smooth high-refresh 1080p, aim for a current-generation 60-class graphics card such as an NVIDIA RTX 5060, a modern 6-core Intel Core or AMD Ryzen processor, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and an NVMe SSD. That combination handles today's AAA titles at high settings while leaving room to push frame rates in competitive games.

What do I need for 1440p or 4K gaming?

For 1440p, step up to a 70-class current-gen GPU and 32GB of RAM for comfortable high-refresh play. For 4K, an 80-class or higher graphics card paired with a strong current Ryzen or Intel Core processor is the sensible entry point. Evetech can configure and test either build so the parts are balanced for the resolution you target.

Are Evetech's gaming PCs custom-built or off-the-shelf?

They are custom-built. Evetech assembles, cable-manages, tests, and backs every gaming PC in-house in South Africa rather than reselling a sealed brand system. You get a balanced configuration you can adjust before purchase, and a machine that is straightforward to upgrade later.

Is a prebuilt gaming PC better than building one myself?

A prebuilt from Evetech gives you a tested, warrantied system with local technical support and no assembly risk, which suits most buyers. Building yourself offers granular part control but takes time and carries the burden of troubleshooting compatibility. Evetech's custom builds sit in between: you choose the parts, and Evetech handles assembly and testing.

Which matters more, the graphics card or the processor?

For gaming, the graphics card usually has the bigger impact on frame rates and visual quality, especially at higher resolutions. The processor still matters for keeping the GPU fed and for streaming or creative work, so the aim is a balanced pairing rather than spending everything on one part.

Can these gaming PCs handle streaming and content creation?

Yes. Configurations with a current Ryzen 7 or Core i7-class processor, 32GB of RAM, and a fast NVMe SSD handle streaming, video editing, and design work alongside gaming. Modern NVIDIA and AMD GPUs also include hardware encoders that offload streaming with minimal impact on in-game performance.

How much RAM does a gaming PC need in 2026?

16GB of DDR5 is the practical minimum for current games, and 32GB is the comfortable choice if you stream, create content, or keep many applications open while playing. More RAM mainly helps multitasking rather than raw frame rates, so most gamers are well served by 16GB to 32GB.

Do Evetech gaming PCs come with a warranty in South Africa?

Yes. Every gaming PC Evetech builds is covered by warranty and backed by local technical support in South Africa, so defects and setup queries are handled here rather than through an overseas process. That local cover, plus a clear upgrade path, is part of what you pay for with a custom build.
