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.

  1. I am definitely a purist, having built my custom PC over a decade ago and swapping out parts over time, all still in the same case!

    • Oh, I forgot to add, the CyberPowerPC Gaming PC (Intel Core i7-9700K/480GB SSD/3TB HDD/32GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2080 Ti) would be a dream come true!

  17. I’m definitely an Enthusiast! I use gaming mostly as a social outlet to hang out with friends but have never owned a gaming dedicated PC — always thought the two options were to buy a laptop or build your own desktop, and got the impression that the desktop was the better option… but no time and money! Lately though I’ve heard good things about the ASUS Zephyrus S though 🙂 Maybe I’ll buy one even if I don’t win so I can play Borderlands 3 without crashing every 10 mins… LOL

  18. I’m definitely more of an Enthusiast gamer. Although I have decent PC knowledge, I would never say I’m top notch, and I just like to enjoy gaming in all aspects, PC, console, mobile, games are what drive me!

  20. i used to be a more serious gamer, but now as a casual gamer I’d love the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop

  21. I would say that I am an ‘Enthusiast’ gamer! And I would LOVE to have an Alienware M15! Such a cool looking and great performing machine!

    Thanks for hosting!

  23. Our son is an “Alpha” gamer he competes online and also at meets. He is working as tech support during these difficult time and it would be so cool to give this to him for his 27th birthday

  26. On-the-go gamer.
    Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1660 Ti)
