Gaming PC or all-in-one: which computer to choose
Short answer
For study, office work and video calls, the XTECH 27-inch all-in-one has the screen built in and saves desk space. For games like Dota 2 and CS2, the entry gaming PC with a Core i3 and RX 550. For modern games, the PC with a Core i5-14400F, RTX 5050 8 GB and 16 GB of RAM.
Start with the job
The first question in choosing a computer is what it is for. For office software and a browser, the graphics card barely matters; for games, it matters most.
For study and office work: the all-in-one
The XTECH 27-inch all-in-one puts the computer and monitor in one body. Its six-core, twelve-thread Intel Core i5-10500T comfortably handles documents, many browser tabs, video calls and study. A 27-inch Full HD screen, 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB SSD and Windows installed.
It is not for demanding games: there is no separate graphics card.
The entry gaming PC
The gaming PC with a Core i3-10100F and RX 550 4 GB plays esports titles such as Dota 2 and CS2 at medium settings, and handles study and video too. 8 GB of RAM, a 256 GB NVMe SSD and Windows installed.
For modern games
The gaming PC with a Core i5-14400F and RTX 5050 8 GB is for playing new releases at Full HD. 16 GB of RAM, a 512 GB NVMe SSD, a 750 W power supply and a B760 motherboard, so there is headroom to upgrade.

What to look for
- The graphics card matters more than the processor for games. The "F" in a processor's name (i3-10100F, i5-14400F) means it has no integrated graphics — which is why these PCs carry a separate card.
- RAM: 8 GB is enough for office work; 16 GB is recommended for modern games.
- An SSD makes the computer start and open programs quickly; NVMe is faster still than a standard SSD.
- An all-in-one has the screen built in, while a gaming PC connects to a separate monitor.

Frequently asked questions
How much RAM do games need?
8 GB is enough for esports games; 16 GB is recommended for modern titles.
Can you game on an all-in-one?
Simple and older games, yes — but the all-in-one has no separate graphics card, so choose a gaming PC for modern titles.
What does the "F" in a processor name mean?
On Intel processors, "F" means no integrated graphics. Such a PC needs a separate graphics card — the gaming PCs in the catalog have one.
