Gaming

Gaming performance is driven primarily by the graphics card (GPU) and monitor refresh rate.

PC priorities:

• High-performance GPU

• Strong CPU for frame consistency

• 16–32GB RAM

• Fast NVMe storage

Monitor priorities:

• 1080p or 1440p for high FPS

• 144Hz–240Hz refresh rate

• Low response time

• Adaptive sync support

Best for competitive gaming and immersive AAA titles.

AI Workloads & Compute Tasks

AI workloads depend heavily on GPU compute power, VRAM, and system memory.

PC priorities:

• High-VRAM GPU

• Multi-core CPU

• 32–64GB+ RAM

• Fast NVMe storage for datasets

Monitor priorities:

• Higher resolution for data visibility

• Larger screen size or multi-monitor setups

• Color accuracy less critical than clarity

Best for model training, inference, and data-intensive workflows.

Graphic Design

Graphic design demands color accuracy and resolution, not high refresh rates.

PC priorities:

• Balanced CPU and GPU

• 32GB RAM

• Fast storage for asset handling

Monitor priorities:

• 1440p or 4K resolution

• IPS or OLED panel

• High color accuracy (sRGB / AdobeRGB support)

• Factory calibration preferred

Best for branding, illustration, and layout work.

Video Editing

Video editing requires sustained performance and accurate visuals.

PC priorities:

• Multi-core CPU

• Strong GPU for hardware acceleration

• 32–64GB RAM

• High-speed NVMe storage

Monitor priorities:

• 4K resolution preferred

• Accurate color reproduction

• 60–144Hz (refresh rate less critical than accuracy)

• Wide color gamut support

Best for timeline playback, rendering, and color grading.

Content Creators & Streamers

Creators often need balanced systems that handle gaming, recording, and editing simultaneously.

PC priorities:

• Strong CPU for multitasking

• Capable GPU

• 32GB RAM

• Multiple storage drives

Monitor priorities:

• 1440p resolution

• 144Hz refresh rate

• Secondary monitor for chat, tools, or timelines

Best for streaming, YouTube, and multi-application workflows.

1080p

• Best for competitive gaming

• Lower GPU demand

• High refresh rate focus

1440p

• Best balance of clarity and performance

• Popular for gaming and creative work

• Requires stronger GPU

4K

• Best for video editing and design

• High GPU demand

• Focus on visual fidelity over FPS

IPS Panels

• Best color accuracy

• Wide viewing angles

• Ideal for creators and designers

OLED Panels

• Exceptional contrast and color

• Premium option for creators

• Higher cost

VA Panels

• Strong contrast

• Budget-friendly

• Less accurate for color-critical work

• Gaming favors higher refresh rates

• Creative work favors color accuracy and resolution

• Hybrid users benefit from 1440p 144Hz IPS displays

Choosing the right balance improves both performance and comfort.

A good PC and monitor setup should last years.

Consider:

• GPU power headroom

• Monitor resolution you won’t outgrow

• Upgrade paths for RAM and storage

• Multi-monitor support

Pulse PCs systems are designed with upgradeability in mind.

Prebuilt systems often compromise on:

• Cooling

• Power delivery

• Upgrade paths

Custom PCs deliver:

• Balanced performance

• Better thermals

• Higher-quality components

• Longer usable lifespan
