The The increasing power and capabilities of video game consoles can often be met and even exceeded with various forms of aftermarket PC hardware such as:

*An aftermarket or even integrated [[Graphics Processing Unit|GPU]] designed specifically for high end gaming

*An aftermarket or even integrated [[Graphics Processing Unit|GPU]] designed specifically for high end gaming

*A [[Central Processing Unit|CPU]] that meets or exceeds the game engine's requirements

*A [[CPU]] that meets or exceeds the game engine's requirements

*[[Computer cooling]] systems, necessary for any modern computer, but especially important for any [[overclocking|overclocked]] hardware. These systems vary greatly in sophistication from simple cooling fans to liquid cooled systems or even sophisticated [[refrigerator]]-like designs complete with [[liquid nitrogen]] and tubing for the transfer of heat.

*A [[motherboard]] capable of supporting existing and future hardware (some past motherboards fail to support [[PCI Express]] hardware). Upgrading hardware reduces [[E-waste]] generation and the effects of [[planned obsolescence]].
