Best gaming PC for City of None (2026)
Choose a PC tier based on the resolution and frame rate you want for City of None. We cover four tiers below.
What City of None actually demands from your PC
City of None isn't sold on Steam, so there's no Steam-published requirements table to quote. The picks above are based on real-world performance and comparison with similar titles rather than a publisher spec sheet.
What makes City of None more demanding than its spec sheet suggests: late-game CPU load. We've factored this into the tier picks above.
CPU-bound moments: City of None drops frames during specific high-load scenarios more than its average framerate suggests. Invest in CPU single-thread performance, the Ryzen 7800X3D and 9800X3D are particularly strong here.
What you can skip vs what matters
- Worth spending on: GPU first, then a fast NVMe SSD (most modern games benefit from sub-3000MB/s sustained reads), then RAM at the tier amount.
- Worth skipping at this budget: RGB lighting, exotic cooling, brand-name PSUs above 850W (unless you're building enthusiast tier), and motherboards with more than 4 M.2 slots.
- Don't compromise on: The PSU. A reliable 750W gold-rated unit will outlast two GPU upgrades.
