How to build gaming computers
Here we will provide you guideline for building a gaming computer for your gaming passion. We will guide you about choosing essential components of a gaming PC.
Choosing right CPU for gaming computers
One of the most significant components in a computer is called CPU (Central Processing Unit). It is also called the brain of a computer. Not every processor will work with every motherboard that is why it is important to choose compatible CPU and motherboard.
It is a hard decision to choose right CPU for gaming needs. Buying the latest and most expensive CPU will not work for gaming computer. No doubt gaming processors are bit expensive but not every expensive CPU will give you required performance.
There are two major companies leading the market, Intel and AMD. Both Intel and AMD offer powerful CPUs for latest gaming needs of enthusiast gamers. Intel’s processors are more expensive than AMD’s. Because of the performance and price we recommend AMD Athlon 64 X2. Athlon X2 are powerful duel core processors excellent for 3D games, multimedia, video editing and 3D software.
Choosing the best Motherboard for gaming computers
The second step would be the selection of right motherboard. Not every motherboard will provide best performance, which a gaming computer needs. It is important that you choose motherboard compatible to your processor you already selected.
Some motherboards only support certain type of processors and that type of processors is only available up to certain speed and likely to be not available after some time. This creates problem when you go for processor upgrade in future. Choose a motherboard which supports processor type which will be available in future as well with better speed.
RAM plays a very important role in performance of a gaming computer. Latest games require more and more RAM and this trend is likely to be followed by next generation games as well. That is why you should choose a motherboard that supports a good amount of RAM and there is margin to increase RAM in future. Type of RAM supported by motherboard must also be considered. DDR2 is the latest type of RAM. The motherboard must be able to support a large capacity of latest RAM type.
The motherboard must be able to support latest type of graphics card. The latest graphics cards are designed for PCI Express so your motherboard must have 1 PCI Express slot. More details on graphics card are covered in “Choosing graphics card for gaming computers” section.
Choosing RAM Memory for gaming computers
You may ask “How much RAM do I need? Of course we can tell you as much as you can afford. Here our focus is gaming computers so you should have at least 1 GB of RAM for your gaming computer.
Choosing graphics card for gaming computers
It is a tough decision to make, what graphics card would be the best and reliable for your gaming computers. For better 3D gaming experience you should have a good graphics card in your gaming computer. There are many types of graphics cards with different specs and features available in the market.
There are two types of slots on interface for graphics card , AGP or PCI Express. Latest graphics cards has PCI Express interface. So you should buy the best video card for your gaming computers as you can afford.
Choosing hard drive for gaming computers
There are many hard drives of different capacity available in market, ranging from 80GB to 160 GB, to even 400 GB and more. You should be having enough space available for latest and upcoming games. Latest and upcoming games require more and more space on hard drive so we recommend you to have hard disk of maximum capacity possible.
