Which computer is the right one for me?

Choosing the right computer is simple with our Compulsion Tech Purchase Guide. Here we cover the specifications of core computer components, empowering you to make an informed decision that aligns perfectly with your individual requirements.

Computer Purchase Guide

Choosing new computing equipment is a significant decision. We are dedicated to giving you the crucial knowledge needed to make a choice that's informed by a clear understanding of what you require. Our straightforward advice will focus on the key computer components, helping you to select a system that meets your computing requirements.
01

Processor (CPU)

Deciding on the central processor for your computer boils down to two main contenders: Intel's Core Series and AMD's Ryzen Lineup. Visualize the Core i3 and Ryzen 3 as the perfect starting points—affordable yet capable, ideal for handling everyday computing and an introduction to gaming.

Moving up, the Core i5 and Ryzen 5 elevate your experience, providing enhanced speed that translates to smoother gameplay and efficient project handling.

For the enthusiasts and professionals who demand peak performance for high-end gaming, intricate video editing, or juggling multiple tasks simultaneously, the formidable Core i7 / i9, and Ryzen 7 / 9 processors deliver exceptional power and performance without breaking a sweat.

02

Graphics Card

Your choice of graphics card should be guided by the Resolution and Refresh Rate (FPS) of the monitor you want to use and the types of games you play.

  • The NVIDIA RTX 4060 and RTX 4060Ti along with the Radeon RX 6600 and RX 7600 cards are excellent for 1080P FHD gaming at high settings with a high frame rate.
  • If you're looking to step up to 1440P QHD, the RTX 4070, RTX 4070Ti, RX 7700XT, and RX 7800XT offer the necessary power for high quality and FPS.
  • For those with 4K UHD displays or aiming for the highest frame rates possible, the RTX 4070Ti SUPER, RTX 4080, RTX 4090, RX 7900XT, and RX 7900XTX provide the ultimate in graphics performance.

At Compulsion Tech, our computers feature GPUs equipped with the latest gaming technologies including Real-Time Ray Tracing (RT) and Deep Learning Super Sampling (DLSS) to give you the best experience possible. RT introduces unparalleled realism with dynamic lighting and shadows, while DLSS leverages AI for image upscaling, enhancing visual clarity without overburdening the GPU.

03

Memory (RAM)

Choosing the amount of RAM that suits your needs is very important. Starting off, 16GB is the sweet spot for most mid-level users, offering enough headroom for gaming, lite video editing, and multitasking. For those who frequently use memory-intensive applications or regularly have multiple resource hungry applications open, 32GB to provides a smooth experience with plenty of headroom. The ultimate configuration is 64GB+ which provides an abundance of RAM with near limitless multitasking capabilities, providing a fluid experience without limitations.

Speed also matters. Unlike some of our competitors, at Compulsion Tech we use premium quality, High Speed RAM in a Dual Channel Configuration which helps improve responsiveness and performance in specific applications.

04

Storage Drives

SSD vs. HDD: Solid State Drives (SSDs) offer significantly faster data access times compared to traditional Hard Disk Drives (HDDs), leading to quicker boot times, faster application launches, and more responsive overall performance.

At Compulsion Tech, the SSDs we use in our computers are M.2 NVMe PCI-Express Based, which connect directly to the motherboard and are industry leading in performance with some models reaching speeds in excess of 7,000MB/s. An SSD for your operating system and most-used games and applications, combined with a larger HDD for bulk storage, can offer a good mix of speed and capacity. Otherwise, one or two large capacity, high speed NVMe SSDs is the ultimate choice.
