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.

  14. As a gamer, I’d say I’m somewhere between a pragmatist and enthusiast. The HP Omen Obelisk Gaming PC (Intel Core i7-9700) is probably most appropriate dream-machine for the games I play currently and plan to play in the near future.

  20. I’m a purist for sure and for me the HP Omen Obelisk Gaming PC (Intel Core i9-9900K/512GB SSD/2TB HDD/32GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2080Ti) would be the ideal computer.

  22. I’m an Enthusiast gamer.

    My dream machine is the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ Gaming Laptop. Something so small and powerful is amazing.

  24. I enjoy strategy games, but my old laptop doesn’t have a video card, so can’t play most… The Asus Zapheyrus S would be so amazing and help with my other Video editing volunteer work.

  30. I’m a Pragmatist when it comes to buying/building my own, but my dream laptop would be the Alienware m17 17.3″ Gaming Laptop

  31. Purist, definitely. My 2013 Alienware 18 is still holding on but time for an upgrade! The Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1660 Ti) is looking pretty good 🙂

  36. Enthusiast, I like the Alienware m15 15.6″ Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GTX 1660 Ti)

  41. I’m just a Casual gamer, but a laptop like the HP OMEN 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i7-9750H/1TB SSD/16GB RAM/NVIDIA GeForce RTX 2070/Win 10) would still be great for gaming and beyond.

  42. Gamer on the Go! HP Pavilion 15.6″ Gaming Laptop (Intel Core i5-9300H/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce GTX 1650)

    • I think I’d be a purist since I love to customize everything. I read and watch a ton of tech reviews. I’m in love with them. Omen Obelisk Gaming PC (Intel Core i9-9900K/512GB SSD/2TB HDD/32GB RAM/GeForce RTX 2080Ti) would be the dream computer of mine since that 32 GB RAM is looking juicy and that RTX 2080Ti is looking solid.

  45. i’m just a casual gamer at this time but would so love to up my game with i certainly could with a Dell G3 15.6″ Gaming Laptop – thanks so much for the chance to win!!!

  46. I’m an Enthusiast who would LOVE the ASUS Zephyrus S Thin 15.6″ gaming laptop. Thanks.

  47. Purist: CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme Gaming PC – White (Intel Core i5-9400F/500GB SSD/16GB RAM)

  48. Pragmatist- A fantastic one would be ASUS ROG Strix Gaming PC-Grey (Intel Core i7-9700K/512GB SSD/16GB RAM/GeForce GTX 1660Ti). Thanks for the chance!
