To make things more confusing, PCIe comes in four sizes — literally, the size of the bracket and the number of bumps on the bottoms of the cards are different. The PCIe 1x is smallest, the relatively uncommon PCIe 4x is considerably larger, and PCIe 8x is a bit bigger still. PCIe 16x is just a little bit bigger than an old-fashioned PCI slot. Most video cards these days require a PCIe 16x slot. Or two. If you’re buying a monitor separately from the rest of the system, make sure the monitor takes video input in a form that your PC can produce.

Take a look at an iPad or MacBook Retina display, or one of the Samsung super high-density displays. If you can see an eye-popping difference (most people can), you may want to seriously re-consider buying a less-than-Retina PC. A special-purpose computer called a graphics processor (GPU), stuck on your video card, or possibly integrated into the CPU, creates everything that’s shown on your computer’s screen. The GPU has to juggle all the pixels and all the colors, so if you’re a gaming fan, the speed of the GPU’s chip (and, to a lesser extent, the speed of the monitor) can make the difference between a zapped alien and a lost energy shield.
