How To Build Your own Pc
Anybody who can follow simple directions can literally save themselves thousands
of dollars on all their computer needs. The glossary even breaks down all the
geek speak into simple terms.
With people already technologically educated, it is easier now for them to
choose the specifications of the personal computer that they will be buying.
Now, they can get ideas and advise from a lot of sources, in the Internet, in
magazine reviews and even from computer shop managers who see personalized
customer service as their edge over other stores.
It is actually pretty easy when you think about it. For although the computer is
a lot of small computer parts, there are actually only a few that you should pay
particular attention to. Here are some of them.
Processor
This is perhaps one of the most important and essential parts of the computer.
Without a processor, you will not be able to make your PC work. This is the
power behind the whole machine. It is also in the kind of processor where people
can see the speed and the ease of use.
Although it is not really essential that you purchase the latest in the market,
it is good to stick with the new series. For instance, if the latest is
processor, then you can buy the lower speeds in the series if you do not have
the budget.
Motherboard
This is the part where everything is hinged on. This is the reason why it is
important for your motherboard to be really compatible with the other parts of
the computer. You should also make sure that the motherboard is sturdy and with
lots of expansion slots. Expansion slots will give you the option to add more
hardware to your computer such as hard disk space and memory.
Hard Disk

It is in the hard disk that people store their files. Most people who are not so
familiar with computers will think that it is the Memory part that takes care of
this but actually, it is the hard disk that we consume every time we save
something in the computer. It is also in the hard disk that we install programs
like the operating system and other affiliate programs such as the Windows
Office.
The bigger the hard disk, the better; but it is good to make partitions in your
memory especially those that are really big. That way, when one part crashes,
the other part is not harmed. It is also a good idea to install windows in one
partition and then install the others in another.
RAM
RAM means Random Access Memory. Although much like the hard disk as it also
stores data, the work of RAM is more on the on the spot memory requirements. For
instance, when you open several windows and do work on several different
programs all at the same time, you are using the memory of RAM. RAM can also
affect the speed of the computer so make sure that you have a higher one.
Video card
This is the part of the computer which determines the condition of the graphics
and the pictures. Notice when pictures seem blurred in some computers and not in
others? This is because of the graphic or the video card. It is also these card
which will determine if the computer can be used for high graphic games. Right
now, it is recommended to buy a video card with higher memory because of the
heavy use of videos and pictures.
