Description
What you're getting
Gloom is for people who've decided 1080p simply won't do. It's built around a powerful 16GB graphics card and an blazingly-fast eight-core Ryzen 7, which means modern releases run at 1440p high settings without VRAM panic, and the machine chews through any recording or streaming workloads.
The budget goes where it counts: GPU, a 1TB Gen 4 SSD for today's large installs, 32GB of memory so Chrome and Discord don't fight your game, and a liquid cooling setup with real thermal headroom.
Like every build, it's hand-assembled in Dollar, burned in for 8 hours, and delivered with Windows configured, drivers current and a written record of its test results.

Why you can trust these numbers
These are estimates, not measurements. Nobody can promise you an exact frame rate before your machine exists, and any shop that does is guessing at you with a straight face.
Each figure is the average frame rate that this exact combination of processor and graphics card is widely reported to hit, at the resolution and settings written beside it. Where a game is running with upscaling (DLSS or FSR) that's stated too, because leaving it out is how a mediocre number gets dressed up as a good one. Where a game caps its own frame rate, the cap is what you see - not a bigger, meaningless number.
What is measured is your specific machine. Before it leaves the bench it runs 8 hours of processor, graphics and memory stress testing, and you get that machine's own temperatures and results in writing.
