Ways to Save When Assembling a Gaming PC in 2026 Found 0 8

Experts from Windows Central have listed ways to save when selecting a gaming computer. The material is available on the publication's website.

Journalists emphasized that due to rising prices for computer hardware at the end of 2025, users have to save money. First and foremost, the authors advised against purchasing DDR5 RAM with unnecessary and optional features — such as RGB lighting or stylish cooling heatsinks. They also noted that memory may be sold at a discount when bundled with a motherboard or other equipment.

To save money, one can also opt not to assemble a personal computer (PC) from parts but to choose a ready-made set — these are sometimes sold cheaper. Additionally, one can choose a laptop instead of a desktop computer. "Gaming laptops and pre-built gaming PCs can be a solution to the problem of high prices for RAM," the specialists noted. The material also recommended paying attention to discounts and sales.

Choosing a device with last-generation DDR4 RAM can also be a solution to the problem. In conclusion, the specialists advised users to temporarily refrain from purchasing if possible: "If all else fails, the only option left is to wait for DDR5 RAM prices to return to normal."
