Quantum Core: Best for Most Gamers
Quantum Core is the best all-round choice for most customers.
It is designed for people who want better performance than an entry-level gaming PC but still want to keep the price sensible. If you want a PC that can handle a wider range of games smoothly, Quantum Core is usually the best place to start.
Choose Quantum Core if you want:

If you are buying for yourself or for someone else and you are unsure which PC to choose, Quantum Core is usually the easiest recommendation.
Quantum Ultra: Best for Higher Performance
Quantum Ultra is the best choice if you want stronger performance, higher FPS and better long-term gaming ability.
This range is designed for customers who want more power for demanding games, higher graphics settings, 1440p gaming, streaming, content creation or future upgrades.
Choose Quantum Ultra if you want:

Higher FPS in modern games

A stronger graphics card

A better 1440p gaming experience

Who should buy Quantum Ultra?
Quantum Ultra is best for serious gamers, competitive players, streamers, creators and anyone who wants a more powerful PC that can handle newer games more comfortably.
If you care about higher graphics settings, smoother gameplay and longer-term performance, Quantum Ultra is the best option.
Which Quantum PC Is Best for Fortnite?
For Fortnite, the best choice depends on the settings you want to use.
If you play on competitive or performance settings, Quantum Lite can be a good choice. Fortnite can run very well on value gaming PCs when the settings are optimised.
If you want higher FPS, better visuals and more consistent performance, Quantum Core is the better option.
If you want the strongest Fortnite experience with higher settings, higher refresh rate monitors or streaming, Quantum Ultra is the best choice.
Recommended choice:
Quantum Lite for value
Quantum Core for most Fortnite players
Quantum Ultra for high FPS and long-term performance
Which Quantum PC Is Best for Warzone?
Warzone is more demanding than games like Fortnite, Valorant or Minecraft. Because of this, we recommend choosing at least Quantum Core if Warzone is one of your main games.
Quantum Core is a good starting point for Warzone because it gives you stronger performance for heavier games.
Quantum Ultra is the better choice if you want smoother gameplay, higher FPS, better graphics settings or a more future-proof build.
Recommended choice:
Quantum Core for good Warzone performance
Quantum Ultra for the best Warzone experience
Which Quantum PC Is Best for 1080p Gaming?
For 1080p gaming, Quantum Lite and Quantum Core are usually the best choices.
Quantum Lite is ideal if you want to play popular games at 1080p without overspending.
Quantum Core is better if you want stronger performance, more consistent FPS and better results in newer or heavier games.
Quantum Ultra is still excellent for 1080p, but it is usually better suited to customers who want higher FPS, better graphics settings or extra long-term performance.
Recommended choice:
Quantum Lite for budget 1080p gaming
Quantum Core for the best 1080p balance
Quantum Ultra for high FPS 1080p gaming
Which Quantum PC Is Best for 1440p Gaming?
For 1440p gaming, Quantum Ultra is the best choice.
1440p is more demanding than 1080p because the PC has to render more detail. This means the graphics card becomes much more important.
If you want to play modern games at 1440p with good settings and smoother performance, Quantum Ultra is the range to look at first.
Recommended choice:
Quantum Ultra for 1440p gaming
How Much RAM Should You Choose?
For most modern gaming PCs, 16GB RAM is a solid starting point. It is enough for many games and normal everyday use.
However, 32GB RAM is becoming a better choice for gamers who want more headroom, smoother multitasking and better long-term usability.
Choose 16GB RAM if:
-
You mainly play lighter games
-
You are on a tighter budget
-
You do not run many apps at the same time
Choose 32GB RAM if:
-
You play heavier games
-
You want better multitasking
-
You keep Discord, browsers and launchers open while gaming
-
You want a more future-ready PC
If your budget allows it, 32GB RAM is the better long-term choice.
How Much Storage Do You Need?
Storage depends on how many games you want installed at the same time.
A 512GB SSD can work if you only play a few games, but modern games can take up a lot of space. If you play larger games such as Warzone, GTA V or multiple big titles, 1TB SSD storage is usually the better choice.
Choose 512GB SSD if:
-
You only play a few games
-
You are trying to keep the price lower
-
You do not mind uninstalling games when needed
Choose 1TB SSD if:
-
You play larger games
-
You want more room for downloads
-
You want the PC to feel easier to live with
-
You do not want to manage storage constantly
For most gamers, 1TB SSD is the safer option.
Should You Pick the Cheapest Gaming PC?
The cheapest gaming PC is not always the best choice.
If you only play lighter games, Quantum Lite can be perfect. But if you play heavier games or want the PC to last longer, spending a bit more on Quantum Core or Quantum Ultra can make more sense.
A better PC can give you:
-
Higher FPS
-
Smoother gameplay
-
Better graphics settings
-
More room for future games
-
A better long-term experience
The right choice is not always the cheapest PC. The right choice is the PC that matches your games and expectations.
