I consider myself a pretty avid gamer, been playing games for the majority of my life, and as I start making gaming friends and playing more mmos and fps’, I’ve had people ask me about my PC. The specs, how much RAM, etc… can someone explain what all that is? I have a general idea but would like to know enough to be able to hold a conversation with someone. Also, how does one check their specs?
Edit: thanks so much for all the in depth replies! Learned a good bit as well 🙂

The PC specs are the physical components of your PC.
At the core they consist of your CPU, graphics card, hard drive, motherboard and RAM. Sometimes people mention stuff like their PC case, cooling, monitors or other peripherals.
You can either find them on the receipts from when you bought them or your computer has most of them listed at various locations. Task manager names the components in advanced view under the performance tab.
