Improving your in-game performance isn't just a matter of training. A combination of components and peripherals optimised for gaming will help you to improve precision, speed and comfort: a PC with a solid motherboard/processor pairing, a screen with a high refresh rate, a responsive keyboard/mouse pairing and a chair that looks after your back and forearms.
The key component of a gaming build, it should contain at least 6 cores for demanding games (Cyberpunk, Starfield...) 8 cores or more for streaming, VR and 4K gaming. Its frequency, architecture and the fineness of its engraving are all factors to be taken into account.

First of all, check that it is compatible with the brand and generation of processor you have chosen, by looking at the chipset and socket. Its size should also correspond to the format of the case you are considering (Mini and micro ATX for small cases, ATX for standard cases and E-ATX for larger cases).

The most widely used is the air system, which is affordable and easy to install. The most efficient is the liquid system known as watercooling. The liquid circulates silently between a cooling block and a radiator and absorbs the heat as it passes. It's better, but more expensive.
