Deciding To Build Your Own Gaming Computer Online Is Very Smart

By Anita Ortega


There are websites specifically made for everyone who always wanted to assemble their own PC for playing games, but never really had the courage to venture into it. You can follow a guide, that can teach you how to build your own gaming computer online. Find a site that covers almost everything you should know before you put together your own PC.

One thing to remember is that not all rigs are born equal. For example, Core i7 systems will often run triple channel RAM. You can still run the system in multi- channel mode, but you need to use three identical modules to run triple channel. If you only want to take advantage of a lower module rating, you have to resort to the motherboard manual to determine which RAM you should obtain.

When it comes to graphics cards, hard drives and optical drives, there are a few vital things you should be aware of (at least in terms of support). Broadly, any of the newer video cards sold today will take advantage of the PCI Express infrastructure, which should fit broadly in all newer motherboards. Similar is the situation with most hard drives you are looking at, as most uses Serial ATA (or SATA).

In the long, run you'll save yourself a lot of money (unless you get a little obsessed with upgrading the PC). Be sure to select the right components carefully. The first time you put together a PC, you have to devote some time to choosing the right components for the system.

You need a quick checklist of all the things you are most likely going to need. Although, there is probably something you could omit. Things like a processor, heatsink (sometimes supplied with the processor), motherboard, RAM modules, graphics or video card (in some cases integrated into the motherboard) and a hard drive are some of the more obvious ones. Other extras include a DVD burner or other optical drives, housing and a power supply (sometimes supplied with the tower).

In addition to the basic components, there may be some parts you want to add, depending on the PC you want to build. One thing that comes to mind are extra fans for the tower. When looking for components, there are certain things one should pay special attention to.

The things you need may seem obvious but nevertheless, many are typically overlooked when building your first PC. You have to make sure that components like the processor and motherboard correspond to each other. However, there is no reason for a big concern, as this is a relatively painless process.

You can easily get away with using less money for a top- notch computer, without needing to complain in the future. Many people skimp on components in their computer's innards, so they can get a good graphics card and a good processor. That is not a smart choice, so try to avoid that exact mistake.
