The best gaming computers you can purchase in Japan 2023

I believe it is hard for non-Japanese to purchase the great gaming computer sold in Japan because all web sites are written in Japanese and not easy for you to find the one. Even if you use Google translation, I don’t think Japanese will be 100% understantable.

I pick up some gaming desktop PCs you can purchase online in Japan. As a gaming computers’ expert, we introduce popular gaming PCs here in Japan. If you have any questions, then feel free to ask:) Comments or e-mail (wordpress @ gamingpcs.jp) me. Please remove spaces both sides of “@” from e-mail shown.

Now, you can choose gaming PCs with Intel 13th generation’s CPU/ Ryzen 5th/4th generation’s CPU, and Ada Lovelace generation’s GPU. Gaming PCs do much better at a low price, as CPU and GPU grow in performance. If you feel frustrated with playing games because of your low-specs PCs, then it’s time to get a new one.

   Review

   LEVEL-M76M-137-TLX is a mini tower gaming PC. A GeForce RTX 4070 model is suitable for gaming on WQHD. DDR4 memori is not the best for this system but it can reduce costs. Although GeForce RTX 4070 is still new GPU, LEVEL-M76M-137-TLX is reasonable.

   You can play any game at 1080p, FULL HD. According to Steam survey (STEAM, 2022), GTX 1060, a predecessor of RTX 3060, is the most popular graphics card. RTX 3060 will be ranked among the best GPU. So we strongy recommend this gaming PC. Also, SSD 500GB is enough for daily uses. The PC has a simple case without any RGB lightning.

3. How to choose the best gaming PC

1. 1. Set up a budget
   First, you need to think about how much money you can pay for a gaming PC. Considering performance, 150,000 yen (Including tax) at minimum would become a standard for choosing gaming PC.

2. 2. Think about what resolution you play at
   What resolution do you play at most? You want to play at FULL HD, or you want to play at 4K resolution? Those environment affect your gaming computer’s choice. Most playes choose FULL HD, with GTX 1060. (RTX 3060 or RTX 3050 will be successors)

3. 3. Think about what title you’re going to play
   It will be easy for you to choose PCs with reference to game titles. You need to choose high performance model if you play a new title, which tends to become overloaded. On the other hand, if you play older titles, you do not need to pay for expensive computers.

4. 4. Study PC parts closely (For the experienced)
   If you have enough knowledge about pc parts, it would be easy for you to choose the gaming PC. Comparing some GPUs and CPUs is useful for your choice. tom’s HARDWARE give you the best knowledge about CPUs and graphics cards.

4. Guide for choosing pc parts

Gaming computers are collection of some pc parts. So if you know them, you could make good choices.

CPU

CPU stands for Central Processing Unit, which is literally the center of computers. Some people say that CPU is a brain of computers. CPU processs data like files, images and so on. For gaming use, Core i5/Ryzen 5 series and over will be great.

Graphics cards

Graphics cards play a crucial role in a game play because the quality of the gaming image depends on the performance of graphics cards. If you want to play games at high resolution (or high quality), you need to choose RTX 3060 Ti and over. If you want to play games at FULL HD, middle class graphics cards such as RTX 3060 will meet your demand.

Memory(RAM)

RAM is a random access memory, which is hard to spot but important parts for gaming computers. On playing games, a lots of date are stored and processed in the RAM memory. If RAM memory becomes insufficient, a computer is lagging or runnning slow. 8 GB is the mimium for gaming computers and almost all of them has 8 GB RAM. We recommend 16 GB RAM beacause some titles require more than 8GB. DDR5 memory is superior to DDR4, however I think it is hard to distinguish the difference.

Storage

There are two types of storage (exceput RAM) in computers. One of them is SSD and the other is HDD. SSD is more fast and useful. In the past, as the cost of SSD is high, only high performance model has SSD. But now most of gaming computers including low-perfomance computers has SSD. Your computer has become fast if OS or game applications is installed on a SSD.

Power Units

A power unit provide a stable source of electricity to gaming computers. 80 PLUS certified power supply, which is more efficient than others, would be a good option. Your power unit has enough power to support computers, then computers stop working.
