Gaming PC 2021 or Choosing a moderate gamer
How do you find the balance between price and power needed for modern gaming? We offer several options for optimal configurations, which, in addition to technical characteristics, are stylistically balanced.
Lack of computer components and financial difficulties due to quarantine increasingly make it necessary for gamers to look at options for assembling PCs not on top components, but on more affordable ones.
Optimal performance and reliability – TUF Gaming
Given the key characteristics of ASUS TUF Gaming products – reliability and durability – you can make a PC that will remain relevant for a long time, because it will meet the requirements of modern games.

The “heart” of the assembly will be the Ryzen 3600X processor, which will be installed in the motherboard ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Plus.
When choosing a video card, pay attention to the junior representative of the third series, but this time we will take a model from another product line, namely TUF GAMING GeForce RTX 3060. ASUS TUF Gaming 650W Bronze will be responsible for power, and liquid cooling will provide CPU cooling ASUS TUF Gaming LC240 RGB.
