To make this information easily digestible, this guide will be broken up into separate parts. As the market for PC gaming hardware (and its pricing) rapidly evolves, this guide will be updated to include the latest information about the different components and their value propositions. While the builds contained in this guide will be relatively specific, there is no need to follow them religiously. Everyone has different needs, budgets, and considerations.
