【実は最悪】なぜか皆これを買う“地雷ゲーミングPC”7選

Summary

The video explains seven common “trap” features to watch for when buying a gaming PC, then recommends systems at several budget levels.

Seven pitfalls to avoid

1. Poor CPU–GPU balance: Gaming performance depends heavily on both components. A powerful graphics card paired with a weak CPU may not reach its potential, while a strong CPU with a weak GPU can also make for a mediocre gaming PC.
2. Too little memory: Avoid systems with less than 16GB of RAM. The presenter recommends 32GB for modern games and multitasking; 64GB is mainly useful for particularly demanding workloads.
3. Buying a gaming laptop without a specific need: Laptops tend to cost more than desktops with comparable performance. Their compact design can also bring drawbacks such as heat, noise, limited battery life, and reduced portability. The presenter prefers desktops unless portability is essential.
4. A small SSD: Games and other files can take up substantial space. The presenter considers 1TB a practical minimum and recommends 2TB to provide more room and help avoid running low on free space.
5. Buying from an unreliable, lesser-known vendor: The video emphasizes warranty coverage, repairs, customer support, and resale value—not just the initial price. It names Dospara, Mouse Computer, PC Koubou, and Tsukumo/Frontier as established manufacturers.
6. Weak cooling: High temperatures can reduce performance and increase the risk of problems. A product listing alone may not reveal real-world cooling quality, so the presenter recommends testing PCs under load.
7. Choosing a very cheap, underpowered PC just to save money: Lower-priced models may have limited memory, storage, or graphics performance, making them less suitable for demanding games or long-term use. The presenter says lower-cost PCs can still work for lighter games, but advises prioritizing a configuration that will meet the buyer’s needs over time.

Recommended configurations

• Around ¥300,000–¥400,000: A Mouse Computer NEXTGEAR with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D, Radeon RX 9070 XT, and 32GB of RAM. The standard configuration is described as having 1TB of storage; a featured collaboration version comes with 2TB by default. The presenter highlights the RX 9070 XT’s 16GB of video memory and its suitability for demanding games and higher resolutions.
• Around ¥200,000–¥250,000: A NEXTGEAR with a Ryzen 7 7700 and Radeon RX 9060 XT. The video highlights the GPU’s 16GB of video memory and recommends upgrading the system RAM to 32GB.
• Just over ¥300,000: A system with a Ryzen 7 9700X and RTX 5070. The presenter describes it as a balanced option for competitive games and moderately demanding titles. A collaboration configuration includes 32GB of RAM.
• High-end, around ¥600,000: A Mouse Computer G-Tune with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D and RTX 5080. The presenter says it is suited to demanding games, including 4K gaming. For intensive tasks such as flight simulators or professional illustration, the video suggests considering 64GB or more of RAM and a 2TB SSD.

The presenter also compares Mouse Computer’s pricing and default three-year support with competing systems, and promotes collaboration configurations. Prices and product availability may change.

Buying and setup guidance

The video walks viewers through BTO customization. It says Windows Home is sufficient for most home users, Office can be left out unless needed, and Wi-Fi and Bluetooth should be added if required. Most other options can remain at their defaults.

The presenter also points viewers to a separate initial-setup guide and recommends searching YouTube for a game’s name alongside the PC’s CPU and GPU to find approximate frame-rate tests.
