Here at PCWorld, there’s nothing we like more than building desktop PCs. And since we also publish videos, it makes sense that we’d build one to do exactly that. Adam Patrick Murray broke out his parts bin to build a machine specifically for running the DaVinci Resolve video editing program, as well as ancillary tools like Photoshop. If you have some time, you can watch him build the entire rig from start to finish on YouTube.
This build uses parts designed specifically to ma
Gaming monitors don’t have to be big to be beautiful. Right now, Walmart is selling a 23.8-inch Acer Nitro 1080p high refresh rate gaming monitor for $149. That’s $50 off the MSRP and a good price for a 1080p monitor in general.
As this is a gaming monitor, however, it has a number of extra advantages that make this deal particularly attractive. First, it’s packing FreeSync, which means it will sync refresh rates between the monitor and a compatible graphics card for butte
Insomniac’s Spider-Man is one of the most well-received games of the last console generation, and perhaps more notably, a system-selling exclusive for the PlayStation 4. The game’s amazing (sorry) web-swinging mechanics and fleshed-out Manhattan setting have garnered it praise seldom seen for licensed games. While Sony jealously guarded its exclusivity from the Xbox and Switch, Spider-Man is now the latest high-profile PlayStation game to make the jump to the PC universe.

Pre-built desktops are still the best way to find value for your gaming dollars, even as we slowly exit the graphics card pricing madness of the past few years. Right now, Walmart has a solid deal on a 1080p budget gaming rig. The online retailer is selling an HP Pavilion Gaming desktop with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 for $799. That’s $300 off the MSRP and a good price for a 3060 rig.
The main feature of this gaming desktop is that you can expect no compromises 1080p gaming. That mean

The high-end desktop isn’t what it used to be. The market for fully loaded, enthusiast-class HEDT CPUs and motherboards has changed drastically during the last several years, stagnating in a way that has left an unaddressed gap in performance.
Ultra-expensive systems using platforms such as Intel’s X99 and AMD’s Threadripper were once the stuff of dreams, akin to having a Lamborghini poster on your wall. Did you want an “Extreme” 10-core CPU? Intel had you cov
Graphic designers, photographers, crafters and, heck, even fancy sandwich makers all have one thing in common: They are, at their core, artists. As such, they deserve their own corner of the web that matches their creative professionalism in a way that no other can. This is precisely why the .ART domain has gained so much traction.
With a .ART domain name, website visitors instantly know that you identify as a creative professional. And it helps to attract new customers too.
Wolfenstein is a classic game series, one of the progenitors of first-person shooters. You never forget the first time you got to shoot a cybernetic Hitler with a flamethrower. After languishing a bit in the early 2000s, it came back into glorious form with a soft reboot in 2014 with Wolfenstein: The New Order. It’s the weekly giveaway on the Epic Games Store, and well worth picking up if you haven’t played it already.
Though The New Order preserves the straightforward, action-
If you need more space on your Xbox or PC, we’ve got the deal for you. Today only, Best Buy is selling the 5TB WD Black P10 Game Drive for $115. That’s $35 off the MSRP. The deal ends just before midnight Mountain Time on Thursday evening.
The P10 game drive is aimed at console gamers who need more space for all those high end game assets, but there’s no reason non-gamers on a PC or Mac couldn’t use it either. It comes formatted for NTFS, of course, so if you want th
