Maintain Your Machine

Know Your Machine’s Limits

More casual PC gamers may not have too many concerns about fixing what’s not broken, but they’ll typically stick to less demanding games, anyway.

Often, building a PC yourself is cheaper than forking out the last of your monthly wage on a more comprehensive machine, but you might find these dedicated gaming PCs come with too many additional features you don’t need.
