Finding a good fixed gaming PC can quickly turn into a real torment. Among the many offers and components that change from configuration to configuration, you should be careful to find the PC that suits you best.

During France Day, the shops engage in a merciless duel to decide between them. In the parking lot we find Fnac, Rue du Commerce or even Cybertek. The aim here is to introduce you to the lowest priced PC configuration, with attractive features.

For gaming, it’s important to look at the graphics cards available in these various configurations. Also, if you are the type of person who streams games, or does video editing, you should check your computer’s processor as well as RAM.

Appearance is as important as anything else if you don’t want to end up with a gaming PC that completely defines your bedroom or living room. There’s something for everyone, from the least extravagant to the most eccentric.

The JVTech team offers a fixed list of gaming PCs from cheapest to most expensive. The goal here is to get you to find PC configurations at very good prices. Except for the first 2 PCs offered, we chose configurations based on the latest (and powerful) 12th gen Intel Core because if you want to upgrade them in the future, the motherboard will be compatible with the next 13th gen Intel Core.
