Some people like to just walk in to a store and buy their computers but some, especially hardcore gamers, usually prefer to have their own PC crafted to suit their taste. Building a computer
isn’t a rock-breaker’s job, it’s generally connecting cables and
fitting in the parts. What most PC builders find difficult is the right
components that fits and which components are good or bad. As much as
its easy to build a computer, using wrong specs can be the crown prince
of chaos. For an experienced PC gamer who’s trying to upgrade his PC or
new gamer who’s not so conversant with all the technical specifications
and all that, I have brought together specs to build a decent gaming PC.
Processor (CPU)
The brain behind your Computer is the processor and of all the
manufacturers, I strongly recommend Intel which doesn’t use much power
and as a matter of fact, it’s considered faster than its AMD
counterpart. (AMD’s are not bad either). There are numbers of Intel
processors with different CPU speed and cores. For speed, a minimum of
3.0GHz or higher and cores minimum of 2 is okay, with this
recommendation I suggest Intel Core i5-3330 3.0GHz Quad-Core.
Memory (RAM)
Before you’ll chose the amount of RAM for y0ur Gaming PC, you must
first ask yourself how much do you need? RAM is a non long-term memory
as hard drive, its where data will be streamed to from hard drive, the
amount you chose will definitely have great effect on how quickly your
computer deals with applications, software tasks and all that – so how
much do you need? Since its a gaming computer and memory is among the
easiest components to upgrade you can start with 4GB and upgrade later
if needed to. Just make damn sure you’re not mixing types.
Hard Drive (Storage)
I’m sure you don’t want to run out of space when you want to install
that crazy game, right? Your hard drive is a like storage that stores
and save computer’s data; so, how much data you want your gaming PC to
occupy without having amnesia sickness. A 128GB you should be enough to
hold any Operating System but if you’re a hardcore gamer, I recommend a
minimum of 320GB, you can increase this to 1TB depending on the size of
your favorite current games.
Video Card
If you want a standard gaming PC, this is where to spend most of your
money on. The graphic card will be in charge of the visual processing
unit of your computer that will thrown out the data its given to those
attractive effects. If you’re on budget Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 for
$179.99 will be the best approach and if you just won a “lottery game”.
Case
You must definitely consider cable management and adequate
ventilation for good airflow before you go ahead and get just any case. A
full tower case is recommended since you may need to add more
components later. I think Cooler Master Haf X w/ SuperSpeed USB 3.0 is
just great.
Motherboard
I intentionally decided to talk about motherboard as the last point
to consider but in actual fact, it’s probably the most important because
it’s what holds everything listed above together. I recommend certain
motherboards from Asus RoG (Republic of Gamers) product line: If you’re a
diehard overclocker, you’re definitely gonna love the latest high-end
ASUS ROG Maximus VI Formula Z87.
There are other things you must consider in order to build the
perfect gaming PC and another is using an effective cooler. This is
important to keep things working as they should and to avoid overheating
which may get all your computer damaged.
