This article is over 9 years old and may contain outdated information

If you’re tired of shopping around for the best Black Friday/Cyber Monday deals out there, then look no further because we’ve got it all right here for you (courtesy of Amazon)! Looking at all those amazing new PC titles can be exciting but sometimes when you scroll down to the recommended specs it can turn into a real bummer. But we’re here to make sure you find the best prices possible to play all your new favorite games this season with ease. Therefore we can’t recommend more highly starting with the basics CPU & GPU:

CPU or (Central Processing Unit) is the “brains” of your computer that is in charge of executing programs.

To truly be considered in the top-tier of gaming, you’re going to want to go with either an i5 or if your budget allows it an i7.

GPU or (Graphics Processing Unit) focuses primarily on rendering images.

To see what running on max settings with a glorious 60+fps is really like, we’d suggest sticking to a GTX 960 or higher.

Sometimes you just have to go all-out because what’s worth doing, is usually worth overdoing. Consider yourself among the gaming gods with this behemoth of a video card that can vanquish any game in its path. It’s of course, the GeForce GTX Titan X!
