What is the best gaming PC? That depends on your needs and budget. Maybe you're after a system that spares no expense to deliver the ultimate gaming experience, or perhaps you're on an ultra-tight budget and just want to achieve playable frame rates in your favorite esports games. Whether you find yourself at either of these extremes or somewhere in between, we've got a gaming PC recommendation for you. Of the systems we've tested, the best gaming PC is the iBuyPower RDY Y70 R17. It's a pricey system but ultra powerful, stylish, and competitively priced for its specs.
