The Most Popular Desktop Computers Are Powerful and Versatile

While it’s true that laptops and tablets have never been more popular, there will always be a place for a quality desktop computer. Gamers know that the added size of the desktop means that there’s more room for equipment within it. Larger video cards typically mean one thing… more power! The other thing a desktop does is give room for additional cooling. Whether using air or water for the cooling system, it can keep the processor and other components nice and cool. This allows the components to work harder, and generate more heat, because it will be transferred away quickly and efficiently. Picking a desktop computer can be difficult however. There’s lots of computers. Building your own computer is an option, but that can become a disaster for novices! Pre built desktops are more expensive, but provide certainty and solidity. What follows are some of the best desktop computers that are widely available. 

1 - HP Omen Obelisk

This is an absolutely excellent gaming computer which allows gamers to spend less time building their own rig, and more time having fun with games. Prices can range from around $1,000 to $3,000 depending on the components chosen. Don’t think you need to opt for the highest end option immediately though. The Obelisk allows for very easy upgrades to be completed by the users. If you equip it with enough power, you can play visually intense games in 4k without losing much in the way of framerate! 

2 - Dell XPS Tower 8930 SE (With Intel core i5)

The exterior of this desktop is deceptive. It’s a clean and crisp tower. It would look right at home in offices or the home office of a 55 year old accountant. Here’s the thing however. The base model is actually quite powerful making use of six core i5 processors and a GTX 1650 GPU. Even more impressive is the dual hard drives. It takes advantage of a 256GB SSD for the operating system and constantly used apps or programs, while offering a full 1 TB drive for deeper storage. It’s also incredibly upgradable. You can easily increase your processor power if you feel like video editing, or pick up a truly top end video card for gaming.

3 - Alienware Aurora R10

If you’ve got the money to pony up] for a truly elite gaming desktop, there’s no one who makes them quite like Alienware. The Aurora R10 starts with one of the most attractive looks they’ve had. Alienware has been accused of going a little too far with the lights and flashiness in their products. The R10 is more understated, but looks fantastic. You can get an R1 with an i9 or Ryzen 9 processor and not 1, but multiple RTX 2080 Ti video cards. Want to use it for VR games? Outfitted like that, it mocks VR games needs. It’s so easily designed that you can swap a lot of parts without actually using tools. Moving around video cards without a screwdriver is a novel, but fantastic feature. 

4 - Adamant Ryzen Threadripper Professional PC

This PC is incredible, but it has a very specific audience. It’s designed for video editing. The CPU features an insane 32 cores and it features 256GB of RAM. There’s terabytes of memory available, as everything can be stored. Water cooling is built in, so there’s never a reason to worry about overheating. Despite all this equipment, it remains quiet and can be used quite easily. These PC’s are usually intended for offices that need it for editing, or for those that want to flex their financial ability. It’s this last point that’s important. These PCs are among the most expensive that an individual will consider, usually starting around $3,000 and rising in price from there.
