Here are PC Gamer's hardware picks, based on years of experience and expert knowledge, all in an easily digestible but admittedly big ol' list.

The PC Gamer hardware team has 60+ years of collective PC hardware-testing experience, and I've personally been at this for over 20 years now. So, in our time the PCG team has had our hands on just about every important piece of tech that's been released for our favourite gaming platform.

And I think that puts us in a great position to help you find the perfect thing when you're searching for that killer product to make your PC gaming setup complete. Whether you need a new gaming chair, a new processor or SSD, or you want to start fresh with a new gaming laptop or full desktop PC, we've spent time testing a host of different techie treats to find out what is the best in each category.

But it's not pretty out there right now for anyone looking to upgrade their setup. With the RAMpocalypse making prices spike for DRAM, SSDs, and graphics cards, it's kinda making a bit of a mockery of the hobby as a whole. But there are still fantastic products out there that will change how you game on your PC for the better.

We've reviewed a ton of products on PC Gamer and you can search through the back catalogue, going back to 2020, below. Give it a try.

From our regular reviews we then curate our buying guides to ensure that we are only recommending the products that we ourselves can 100% stand behind and know are worth your money. On this page I have collated the most important of those guides, including links out to the full, in-depth guides themselves, as well as direct links to each of the recommended products, too. Enjoy.

Dave has been gaming since the days of Zaxxon and Lady Bug on the Colecovision, and code books for the Commodore Vic 20 (Death Race 2000!). He built his first gaming PC at the tender age of 16, and finally finished bug-fixing the Cyrix-based system around a year later. When he dropped it out of the window. He first started writing for Official PlayStation Magazine and Xbox World many decades ago, then moved onto PC Format full-time, then PC Gamer, TechRadar, and T3 among others. Now he's back, writing about the nightmarish graphics card market, CPUs with more cores than sense, gaming laptops hotter than the sun, and SSDs more capacious than a Cybertruck.
