About Jake Lim

Jake has been building and benchmarking PCs since he was 15 and currently runs a budget gaming setup channel where he documents FPS gains and refresh rate differences across hardware tiers. He is the writer to read when you need to understand why your 144Hz monitor is still running at 60Hz, what DisplayPort vs HDMI means for high refresh gaming, and whether the jump from 144 to 240Hz is worth the GPU upgrade cost.

Jake writes from the position of someone who has made every misguided hardware purchase so his readers do not have to. His guides are built around the question he gets asked most often: I bought the monitor, why does it still look the same?

He covers FPS targets by game type and the real difference between frame rate and refresh rate, two concepts that trip up a surprising number of PC gamers.
