Gaming PC for CS GO
The CSGO phenomenon (Counter Strike Global Offensive for those who haven't experienced this multiplayer game for whatever reason) remains as strong as it was when it was released, as the game is still one of the most popular and streamed games on the planet, with an ever thriving cybersports scene. If you want to play to your full potential in a fast-paced first-person shooter like CSGO, where every tiny millisecond counts, it's essential that your computer allows for a smooth frame rate.
Ideally, you want your FPS (frames per second) to stay above the refresh rate of your monitor, whether that's 60Hz, 144Hz, 240Hz, or even 360Hz for advanced professional players. If you're planning on building or upgrading a new PC, Power Up's builds feature state-of-the-art computers with the top-of-the-line components you'll need to achieve the level of performance you require, which as always are aimed at maximizing your return on investment and will definitely not overspend your budget.
Any PC will run running CSGO, even grandma's dusty old monster Pentium 4 with a floppy disk drive and a funny beige case. However, there's a big difference between simply running and a full game, with good reactions and the ability to react quickly to hazards. If you want to ensure a certain frame rate, it's worth sticking to specific builds where modern components will help achieve 60fps, 144fps or 240fps.

In terms of 60FPS requirements, you'll even be fine with an installed graphics card. Using the integrated graphics that comes with a processor from AMD or Intel is actually enough to achieve this frame rate at low settings and high settings. An interesting fact is that it is the low settings that are used by most CSGO players. You'll also need a good monitor, if possible, to take full advantage of such a dynamic game. 60 frames per second is still not the edge, and still a relatively smooth experience if you're just a casual player and you don't worry that other players using more advanced comps will have a slight advantage over you.
The requirements for a PC should be:
- high performance figures;
- smooth operation at high graphics settings;
- the ability to play at high FPS.
In a fast-paced shooter like CSGO, you need the highest frame rate possible to eliminate the chance of frame dropouts, as well as minimize input lag (it's proven that in this particular game, the higher your FPS, the lower your input lag). It's also about getting the highest frame rate possible with better looking visuals.
Build a computer for CS GO
CSGO is a CPU-centric game and it's not very demanding on graphics, which means that boosting your frame rate is primarily a task for your CPU. Of course, feel free to upgrade builds to more powerful hardware to get even higher FPS, but if you want to be economical, the ones presented will suffice.
To consistently reach 240fps, you'll need to get a faster processor, which can also be found in top-of-the-line builds from Power Up. CSGO is undemanding on graphics, and you only need something like Ryzen or Intel to consistently maintain above 240fps at normal graphics settings if your PC of choice fits your needs. It's not like more visualization-demanding games, where achieving such high frame rates is impossible without one of the best gaming GPUs on the market. You can easily buy a comp for KS GO in the Power Up store.
