Intel consistently improves computer performance year over year for everyone, from students to artists, business people to gamers. Not surprisingly, Intel is also critical to your success at the most intensely demanding activity for any computer: PC Gaming. Enter for a chance to win a high performance, Intel powered, gaming computer from Intel and Best Buy.

All gamers are welcome

What kind of gamer are you? It’s been said that variety is the spice of life and there are many kinds of PC gamer. Some people stick exclusively to simple PC games that work on any machine; others prefer highly demanding PC games they play on custom built water-cooled machines with the fastest Intel processor available. A recent study concluded that there are six distinct types of PC gamers:

  1. Alpha: Highly enthusiastic, cross-platform, social, influential, and competitive gamer; high knowledge of PC components especially as it affects gaming.
  2. Purist: PC-centric, preferring stationary, immersive gaming; likely to customize PC hardware.
  3. Enthusiast: passionate about the latest gaming trend, loves PC Gaming but also mobile/smartphone gaming; moderate hardware knowledge
  4. Pragmatist: hobbyist preferring stationary/solitary gaming; knowledgeable about hardware but pragmatic about which computer works for their needs
  5. On-the-go: gaming on the go is most important; satisfied with easy to use PC products
  6. Casual: gaming is a quick escape and usually a stationary activity; not very knowledgeable about PC hardware

Think about where you fit into this framework, and what kind of games you most like to play.

  27. Purist… I’ve built most of my computers myself and upgraded them as needed until my next build. Intel/Nividia/Asus have been my go-to components. It’s time to go mobile, however, so my choice would be the Asus Zephyrus!

The games I have installed and am playing right now is Doom Eternal, Borderlands 3, Fallout 4 and Call of Duty WW2.

    The PC that makes me drool on your site is the ASUS Strix Gaming PC in Star Black. Thanks for the opportunity and stay safe everyone!

  36. This would be for my 13 year old son who is a gaming enthusiast! He loves learning about new technology and trends in gaming, He plays everything from Minecraft to Fortnite, Clash of Clans on a mobile device and many more. He has been trying to save for his own gaming laptop so this would be just an awesome surprise for him!

  38. I’m a pragmatist, who loves action-adventure RPG games. As long as the PC can handle 4K at 60 frames/sec Assassins Creed then I’m a happy gamer. I would love to have the Asus ROG G701VI-XB78K 17.3″ LCD Notebook with Intel Core i7 (6th Gen) i7-6820HK Quad-core and 64GB DDR4 SDRAM. But since I would want something I can also work from I am actually more likely to get the ASUS ZenBook Pro 15 15.6” Laptop – UX550GE-XB71T (i7-8750H with 16GB RAM). Thanks!

  39. Casual gamer. I would think the Dell G5 (Intel Core i7 9700/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2060) would be a good fit for me.

    I really like the “ASUS ROG Zephyrus S Ultra Slim 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/1TB SSD/RTX 2080)-English” laptop and “ASUS ROG Strix Call of Duty Gaming PC(Intel Core i7/2TB HDD/256GB SSD/16GB RAM/NVIDIA RTX 2080)-Eng” desktop.
    I am biased towards Asus products as I have had very good experience with them. Infact, my current PC runs on Asus Motherboard and other components. I would like a Laptop for my next product mainly for portability.
