Better Customization Options
With PC gaming, customizing the gaming experience is one of the main draws of having a gaming setup, and a major factor that differentiates it from console gaming. It’s always a plus when the latest gaming bundles come equipped with the best hardware that lets you adapt the parts to perform specific tasks, such as overclocking the CPU or GPU. However, when it comes to customization, there’s no substitution for the user being able to change the style, color and features of their gaming setup. Therefore, some of the best improvements would be to begin offering more customization options, such as the ability to pick and choose the case design, color, and details; upgrade components such as RAM, storage drives, and graphics cards; choose from a wider range of accessories such as keyboards, mouse, and headsets; and the option to add on more gaming-oriented components such as RGB lighting and audio components.
Updates to the Operating System
The operating system of a gaming PC can become outdated very quickly, which can hinder the overall performance of the system. Therefore, one of the essential improvements for the newest generation of gaming PC bundles is for them to come with the latest and most reliable operating system to ensure that users remain up to date with the latest releases. This can also help to add extra features to the systems such as bug fixes, security updates, and features such as Direct X12, OpenGL 4, and NVIDIA’s GPU Boost. Having the latest version of the operating system installed on a gaming PC will also save users time and money in the long run.
More RAM
With today’s generation of gaming, having ample RAM is essential in order to keep your system running at its peak performance. As it stands, many of the gaming bundles are being equipped with 16GB of RAM, which is about the standard for the average gaming PC. However, for a true premium gaming experience, more RAM is necessary to be able to power even the most demanding games. Therefore, it would be beneficial for the next generation of gaming PC bundles to come with at least 32GB of RAM in order to provide you with the most fluid gaming experience possible. This would also provide the adequate RAM to power multiple programs or games at the same time.
Higher Quality Peripherals
Peripherals such as keyboards, mice, and headsets are often seen as accessories, but they can actually play an important part in one’s gaming experience. The inclusion of these items in a gaming bundle also adds value to it, and it is therefore essential that they be of the highest quality. This means including items such as mechanical gaming keyboards with backlight lighting, gaming mice with adjustable DPI settings, and headsets with virtual 7.1 surround sound and noise-cancelling capabilities. Not only do these items give off an air of quality to your gaming setup, but they also come in handy when playing competitively.
More Storage
On top of RAM, storage is also an important aspect of any gaming system. Hard drives were once the go-to for storage, but now another popular option are solid state drives (SSD). The main difference between the two is that hard drives can store more data but are slower compared to SSDs. With the trend being towards larger and more detailed games, it is important that they come with enough storage to accommodate these games. Therefore, having a hybrid setup, with both an SSD and HDD, offers the best of both worlds and would be ideally suited for gaming.
Discounted or Bundled Games
Let’s face it, playing games is the whole point behind having a gaming PC, yet with the cost of games going up in recent years, it can be difficult for gamers to build up a comprehensive library of games due to financial constraints. Therefore, it would be a great addition as part of the next generation of gaming PC bundles if the company included discounts or bundled games with the purchase of their PCs, as this would help to make the purchase more attractive to prospective buyers. Such bundles could include a variety of games from different genres and different eras, with some of the pre-installed titles like Minecraft, Cities Skyline, and ARK Survival Evolved. This would also help to show that the company understands the people buying their bundles, and is willing to reward them for their loyalty.
Conclusion
The next generation of gaming PC bundles should offer more customization options, up to date operating systems, higher RAM, better quality accessories and storage, and discounted or bundled games, to remain relevant and attractive to game players. These additions and improvements would show that the company has taken the time to understand and consider the needs of their customers, and would surely be rewarded with increased sales and customer loyalty.
