Having undergone a renaissance thanks to its Edgerunners 1.6 content update, more people than ever are looking to give Cyberpunk 2077 a go. If you want to explore Night City in all its dystopian glory, though, you’re going to need one powerful gaming PC. Minimum settings alone ask for 8GB of RAM and a GTX 780. If you want to look at 4K with 60 FPS, you’ll need a beast of a system. The Infin8 Venomous is a great choice if you want to bring out Cyberpunk 2077’s beauty.

It takes a lot to make running across rooftops and drop-kicking zombies look so good. Whether you’ve wanted to jump on Dyling Light 2 since it first came out or since we learned we were getting DLC for it, this game demands a lot from your PC. Even its recommended specs, needed to play the game at 1080p with 60 FPS, are brutal with an RTX 2060 needed. Seriously, the way this game uses ray-tracing is enough to make any PC sweat. Luckily for you, the OcUK Gaming Katana can handle it, and then some. Not only does it smash those recommended specs, it has an effortlessly cool all-white aesthetic you can build an epic gaming setup around.
