Congratulations! You've just (choose one) won the lotto / received your inheritance / started a new six-figure job / robbed a bank. What should you do with the wad of money burning a hole in your wallet? Build a new dream PC, naturally. And since you're presumably rolling in the money, the still-elevated prices on graphics cards (not to mention SSDs and memory) aren't really a problem. But if money is a concern, you might want to wait a bit longer to see if GPU prices become more reasonable.If you're looking for the best overall value for building a new gaming PC, you're in the wrong place. But sometimes you need to put games in their place. Forget about turning down the settings, lowering the resolution, or any other compromises. You want to build a PC to rival PC Gamer's Large Pixel Collider (minus the decorative fluff). Whether it's 4K or 1440p 144Hz, all running at the highest quality you're likely to see this side of 2018, you're ready to join the upper echelons of gaming … [Read more...] about Build Guide: the extreme gaming PC

Monster Hunter: World is now the best-selling game in Capcom’s history
Monster Hunter: World has shipped over 7.5 million units worldwide, Capcom has announced, making it the best-selling game in the company’s history. Monster Hunter: World is “the first title in the series to be given a global simultaneous launch, and was given an ambitious worldwide promotional campaign in order to further build upon its fan base both in Japan and in markets overseas,” said Capcom in a news release. That number is a bit tricky to break down, since Capcom is specifying that it’s counting games that were shipped to retailers, not sold through to players.

The report covers US physical and full game digital sales on PS4 and Xbox One, as well as physical game sales on Switch and 3DS. Since it only includes some digital sales, the report gives a bit of a warped perspective, but can be used as a rough guide to performance.
