CAN A GAMING PC BE USED AS A REGULAR PC?

A question that is commonly asked by people looking to get themselves of someone a gaming PC is whether it can also be used for other tasks than gaming like school work like write and submitting essay and emails, office work or creative work like video or photo editing.

The short answer is yes, you or whoever you’re getting the computer for will be able to use their gaming computer for literally anything that a “regular” computer can be used for.

All in all, a gaming computer is just like any other computer. It has a CPU, temporary storage space (RAM), permanent storage space (hard drive and or SSD) and input/output devices (mouse, keyboard, video monitor and speakers).

The difference is a gaming PC typically has a more powerful CPU and video card and (sometimes) more RAM and data storage space than a general purpose computer because many games tend to be so demanding of hardware resources.

Most Gaming PCs have 8-16GB ram to ensure the best gaming experience and avoid frame rate drops but most regular use PCs can get away with 4-8GB ram for all the day to day tasks you can think of. another difference could be that the gaming has a higher refresh rate.

The simplest way is to look at a regular PC as a normal/regular car and a gaming PC as a racing car. Both of those vehicles will get you where you need to go, but the racing car has the potential to get you there a lot faster.

If you just need to drive around and take an occasional road trip, the regular car will do just fine. But if you plan to do any kind of racing you’re going to have a much better chance of being successful if you drive a racing car.

However, you can use the racing car to drive around and take road trips just like you can with the regular one.

In conclusion, if you’re thinking of getting a gaming PC over a regular PC go for it because with it you can enjoy, fully, the best of both worlds
