Hello, dear readers of my blog. This is my first time writing an article, so don’t judge too harshly. Today we will talk about assembly cheap gaming A PC capable of delivering a stable 60FPS in leading shooters such as Battlefield 4, CoD: Ghosts, Crysis 3, Watch_Dogs and many other demanding games. Also, this assembly can last 5-6 years, despite the fact that in 2016 the assembly will consistently produce 60FPS in shooters of that time at medium graphics settings. So, let's begin.
Processor: AMD FX-8350 Vishera 5375 rub.
Why AMD? Because the processors of this manufacturer are quite powerful and cheap, unlike Intel processors. Nobody argues that a 4-core Intel will outperform an 8-core AMD in power by about 1.2 times. But Intel's price is exorbitant. For that kind of money you can buy the most powerful AMD processor.
Video card: Sapphire Radeon R9 270X 1020Mhz PCI-E 3.0 2048Mb 5600Mhz 256 bit 5856 rub.
I chose this model because it is relatively cheap, powerful (in tests it showed 50-55FPS on settings in Battlefield 4) and modern. Of course, you can buy a model with 4GB memory, but it is 2.5 thousand more expensive. But the choice is yours. Also, in the future you can buy a second same video card. And yes, video cards from Sapphire are the cheapest, and the main thing is that I haven’t seen any negative reviews on them.
Motherboard (mother, mother): GIGABYTE GA-970A-DS3P (rev. 1.0) 2176 rub.
Well, there’s nothing to say here. The cheapest motherboard for this build.
Random access memory (RAM): Kingston KVR16N11/8 (x2) 2398x2= 4796 rub.
The cheapest memory. I decided to install two 8GB sticks for modern games.
HDD (aka hard drive, HDD hard drive, screw, etc.): Western Digital WD10EZEX 1819 rub.
1TB of free space. If you wish, you can buy 2TB, but it is correspondingly more expensive. The cheapest and without negative reviews.
CPU cooler (fan): Zalman CNPS10X Optima 834 rub.
The cheapest cooler for our processor. According to reviews, it cools enough.
Power supply (PSU): AeroCool VP-650 650W 1854 rub.
Cheap power supply, 650W is more than enough. Attention! When installing a second video card or additional RAM or HDD sticks, a minimum 750W power supply is required.
Frame: Zalman Z9 Black 1920 rub.
The cheapest case of the ATX form factor (mATX), Midi-Tower type. In general, this is how the assembly turned out. The total came out to 24,630 rubles. FPS test in different games at maximum graphics settings:
- Battlefield 4: 50-55FPS
- Battlefield 3: 65-70FPS
- Assassins Creed 4: Black Flag: 50FPS
- Crysis 3: 40-43FPS
We also tested the heating of the video card under maximum load (in games, the video card loads a maximum of 70%). The video card heated up to 64 degrees Celsius. Quite a bit. There is minimal noise coming from the case. I hope I helped you! See you soon in a new article, where I will talk about a powerful assembly of an Intel-based gaming computer for 60,000 thousand rubles!
Equipment classification
In order not to pay more for unnecessary components in your car, you should immediately decide what you expect to get from it?
A computer for use at home should be one on which children can play games and watch a movie after a hard day.
For of this type cars you can choose a lot of variations from the most expensive to the cheapest. If only you liked it.
If you need a tool that will be used to work with various documents, and sometimes watch videos, then this is simpler option, which does not require extra costs. This is a computer for the office.
The most expensive and demanding is the last type - a computer for gaming. It can perform many tasks depending on the resources.
The components in it are always the most powerful and most expensive. Therefore, not everyone can afford such a device.
Now you are able to determine the price yourself, How much does it cost to build a gaming computer 2017?
The Frime FC-004B case can be purchased for 1,370 rubles. It is not huge in size, but will fit everything you need.
The power supply in it, frankly speaking, is weak if you assemble a more serious device.
But for the most budget option, the energy consumption of which will be about 100 W, this option is quite suitable. Assembly - China.
For a small number of video games, if you want to create the cheapest computer, it would be logical to turn to the Western Digital WD3200AAJS, which can be bought for 1185 rubles.
Its volume is 320 GB. This will be enough to store 4-5 toys and some photos and music folders.
CPU
Within 4900 rub. can be found .
This is a quad-core processor that is installed in boards with the FM2+ socket.
It has 4 MB of its own memory and operates at a frequency of 3.1 GHz.
Of course, this is not an option for a supercomputer, but this way you can assemble the most inexpensive option. On it you can play games and work with documents.
TDP is 65 W - this means that the power supply is of good power, and the stock cooler will suffice for cooling.
Equipped with a CPU graphics subsystem - Radeon R7 GPU, which operates at a frequency of 720 MHz, 8 rasterization units, 384 GCN stream processors and 24 texturing units.
When turned on typical configurations, GTA V makes 30 FPS.
This spare part is quite enough for such a toy as tanks. Of course, the graphics will be lame.
Celeron G3900 processor on sale from 2230 rub.
Characterized by excellent productivity on an affordable budget. It has 2 MB of memory and two cores.
The frequency is 2.8 GHz. This option is also good because with a consumption of only 35 W, it heats up slightly and is quite economical. But the graphics are lame.
You will get only 30 FPS at the lowest quality settings of GTA V.
Again, tanks can be played without any noticeable problems.
RAM
RAM for AMD. The optimal RAM option for AMD is Team TED34G1600C1101. Price on the market from 1630 rubles. However, if you don’t find it anywhere, you can replace it with, for example, a DDR3 DIMM - no matter what kind of stick, with a memory capacity of 4 GB. This is the required amount of RAM, without which toys will not be able to start, none of them will work office programs and you won’t get the desired web surfing.
RAM for Intel. The most normal choice for Intel is Samsung M378A5143EB1-CPB. With a price starting from RUB 1,813, it has all the necessary characteristics for a budget build option. Has 4 GB of memory. This will be quite enough to assemble an inexpensive gaming computer in 2017.
Motherboard
The motherboard doesn't need to be fancy, so at a reasonable price it's just right for us.
Motherboard for AMD. Inexpensive option Asus A68HM-K. The price starts from 2952 rubles. There is a slot for a discrete video card, an FM2+ socket and several slots for DDR3 RAM. To enable the tuner, there is also one slot for PCI and one for PCI-E x1. Supports USB 3.0. There are VGA and DV connectors for connecting to a built-in video card and 4 connectors for this. This allows you to connect the motherboard with new monitors and with those that have been in service for a long time and are outdated.
Motherboard for Intel. MSI H110M PRO-VD for RUB 3,510. Suitable for Intel. The most important thing that should be present on it is these DVI and VGA connectors, to which it is easy to connect old and newer monitors. It also supports USB 3.0. It has two connectors for DDR4 and several PCI-E x1 for connecting other elements. In terms of size, it will fit into any case that is currently on the market.
Gaming computer for 35 thousand
Although the sum of fifteen thousand is not small, she is not able to collect the latest new products of 2017. However, you can get a pretty decent unit.
Even though not all the parts will be top-notch, they are of high quality and fast.
What you can save on when assembling a computer in 2017 is the case. Take the GameMax H603 for example.
The price in stores ranges from 1630 to 4300 rubles. The quality of the metal is good.
The price is this way because the company is little known. One of the walls is transparent. Behind it is a fan, which is included in the kit. You can also install additional cooling systems.
At the bottom there is space for the power supply, and at the top for the processor. This arrangement of the filling allows you to protect the unit from overheating, because hot air from the processor does not reach it.
By the way, if you install a backlit fan in the case, it will look quite stylish.
CPU
With a budget of 35 thousand rubles, you can purchase a relatively cheap Intel processor. For the first time in ten years, manufacturers have returned HyperThreading support to processors.
One of the spare parts we received was a Pentium G4560. Two nuclei were placed in the ego body. Memory becomes 3 MB.
And thanks to the integrated Intel HD 610 graphics, which, using small settings, supports absolutely everything.
Now you don’t have to buy a video card, but wait a little on the one that’s built-in.
Also, all this comes with a cooler, which is quite enough to cool the processor.
For this option you will have to pay from 4500 to 5350 rubles.
RAM
For normal playback of the toy, 8 gigabytes of RAM memory is sufficient. I present to your attention G. Skill F4-2400C15S-8GNT. It operates using a frequency of 2400 MHz.
Its own cooling system is quite enough to protect against overheating. good and quite affordable. You can buy it at a price from 4140 to 4650 rubles.
SSD drive
KINGSTONSKC400S37/128G would be appropriate for a mid-price gaming computer. Has MLC storage.
The write frequency is 450 MB, and the read speed is 550 MB. SATA III width is used. Sometimes TLC memory is present.
This option is quite suitable for fairly fast computer operation.
In a budget option, there is no way to do without hard drive. But one thing is good: select according to parameters; no special option is required.
You can purchase absolutely any disc for which you have saved enough money. I suggest HITACHI HDS721010CLA332. Price - 29,670.
The HDD capacity becomes 1,000 GB. There is a buffer memory whose size is 32 MB. Supported SATA interface 3Gb/s
Video card
For a good video card you will have to pay a relatively considerable amount. GIGABYTE GEFORCE GTX 1050 TI WINDFORCE OC 4GB is a great option.
The price ranges from 11,630 to 13,950. It has a built-in video processor NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1050 TI with an operating frequency of 1354 MHz.
The memory capacity is 4096 MB. Built-in connectors for DisplayPort, DVI-D Dual-Link, HDMI, HDMI x2. Supports formats - NVIDIA G-SYNC, NVIDIA GameWorks.
The model operates quite quietly and does not heat up. The cooler operates in a gentle mode.
With this option, there is hope that the card will remain on the market for several years.
At maximum settings, the toys run just fine.
Chips in this series are quite expensive, but this is not a budget option.
power unit
A power supply of normal quality on the IT technology market costs at least 2,330 rubles. The offered AEROCOOL VX-400 400W is in the price range from 1300 rubles. up to 1630 rub.
There is an opinion that the power supply is not very important. Still, it’s better not to neglect it and buy this one, which is in the middle price range and of relatively normal quality.
Its resources will be able to service your car.
Motherboard
Your new gaming PC also needs a motherboard. The MSI B250M PRO-VD is great.
Its configurations are sufficient for the device to work smoothly. The price range of spare parts is from 4650 rubles. up to 6980 rub. This is considered an inexpensive option.
The model has six USB connectors, which are located at the rear. In order to display pictures from the built-in video, there is a VGA port and a DVI port.
Mouse and keyboard sockets. They are made in the old style so that any model can be connected.
There is a socket for processors such as Kaby Lake or Sky Lake. For random access memory, several DDR4 slots are also built-in.
And that, all system unit the price will be about 35,000 rubles. or 35350 rub. There are options to slightly reduce the price. If you do not touch the main spare parts, the quality of playback will not change.
You can save a little on the motherboard by setting its parameters to H110.
This will save about 1400 rubles. You can do without an SSD altogether. That's about two thousand more.
But with the money saved you can improve your video card.
All in all, this option configuration of the system unit is the most correct in terms of price and quality ratio.
For people who want to build a good car without overpaying. For use in games and office work, this set of components is perfect.
Building a powerful gaming computer
If you have an extra 58,120 rubles in your pocket, you can afford to create a powerful machine that will delight you with the excellent quality of the reproduced picture and the best components. Such a unit will handle any game, work quickly and silently.

Assembling a gaming computer is not an easy and important task, because you will have to use the assembled configuration for several years to come. And in 2019, a gaming computer costs a lot of money - the golden times, when for 30,000 rubles you could get a powerful machine that will remain relevant for many years, are in the past. If you are not ready to completely disappear from life for a few days and immerse yourself in studying technical characteristics various devices, then our material today will try to help you avoid making the most common mistakes when assembling a gaming PC.
Decide on your desired resolution
The most pressing issue today is choosing a decent video card. After cryptocurrency mining became widespread, the demand for the most effective and up-to-date cards skyrocketed, and the price of such devices followed suit - flagship boards today cost several times more than they cost before this excitement began.
If you prefer to play on a standard monitor in Full HD resolution, then we recommend taking a closer look at two models that entered the market back in 2016 and earned the highest ratings from experts and users - the Radeon RX480 (aka RX570 in the updated line) and GeForce GTX 1060. Both cards show a stable 60 fps in a resolution of 1920x1080, and if you do not plan to run your favorite games on a TV that supports the Ultra HD 4K format, then you simply do not need more powerful video accelerators, especially since the demand for them is now going through the roof. 
Such cards today can cost twenty thousand or more, the price ultimately depends on the specific brand and the cooling that it offers. If such expenses are undesirable for you, then you can take a closer look at the younger models of these generations of video cards - Radeon RX 560 with 4 gigabytes or GTX 1050 with 2 GB. The first card is generally enough for any modern 3D blockbuster, but the number of frames per second will drop by half compared to the older model, but the card from Nvidia is already morally outdated - the amount of memory is not suitable for the best and most technologically advanced games of our time. 
In general, if you decide to build a gaming computer at the beginning of 2019, the first thing you need to do is decide on the video core and understand how much you are willing to pay for it - the remaining components will cost less and will be easier to find on sale.
Do you need an expensive processor?
The emergence of a new generation of Intel processors has turned the heads of many tech geeks, but we must admit that the i9 today is not a necessity even for people who stream their gaming adventures to a multimillion-dollar audience. Yes, and the i7 today looks more like an unreasonable luxury; the updated i5 processors with six high-frequency cores cope perfectly with the tasks and perform well in tandem with even the most advanced video cards. If you listened to our advice from the previous paragraph and decided to go with the GTX 1060, then a fresh i3-8100 will be enough for you, which will cost a very reasonable 7,500 rubles. 
If you are one of those who squeeze the maximum out of the available hardware, then when you decide to overclock your processor, immediately think about purchasing a decent cooler that can cope with a stone operating at maximum speed. You shouldn’t chase incredible performance unless you are the happy owner of the seventh or ninth generation; the same fives, as a rule, do not exceed the power dissipation rate of 70 W, and the budget and time-tested DeepCool Gammaxx 300 is designed for as much as 130 W and will cost you about a thousand rubles!
Motherboard
In an effort to build a gaming computer with maximum performance for minimal money, many make a common mistake and try to save money on the motherboard, thinking that it does not affect anything - it does not. Budget motherboards from AMD traditionally show dismal results - the B350 almost all have problems with overclocking, and the A320 have such a weak power system that it can only work comfortably with weak and outdated Ryzen 3. Thus, it is better not to risk the performance of the gaming computer you are building and buy something something quite powerful and reliable, for example, Asus Prime X370-Pro for a little less than 10,000 rubles. 
Coffee Lake began to present a new line of motherboards, improved with additional cores and frequencies, but at the moment only the flagship chipset – Z370 – has been released. The more affordable Z300 should become available in the coming days, and buying them looks like the best solution, although it’s too early to draw conclusions. If you decide to use previous generations of processors to build a PC, then you shouldn’t fool yourself and it will be enough to purchase a reliable and inexpensive option like the Asrock H110M; together with the processor, such a board will cost less than the Coffee Lake motherboard alone.
RAM
With memory today everything is quite simple. As for volume, the principle of more is better. If we talk about manufacturers, processors from AMD do not work with all brands, and they also love high frequencies. If you don’t want to overpay for frequencies that are imperceptible when working on a computer, then you can solve this issue by purchasing a 2400 or 2666 megahertz stick from Samsung or Corsair and subsequently overclock them to a respectable 3200 through the BIOS. 
Processors from Intel do not create such problems and here you can save a lot of money by taking the cheapest option, so the owners of such system cores can only envy and recommend using the remaining money to take a larger amount of memory with an eye to the future - the growth in RAM needs is quite rapid and unnecessary she definitely won't.
Inner memory
The SSD market has undergone major transformations in recent months, and therefore it is necessary to carefully analyze everything that has happened in order to keep up with the trend. If previously solid state devices with MLC memory were seen as the best option, and cheaper TLCs proved to be insufficiently reliable and quickly failed, then since mid-2017, the 3D NAND volumetric structure has become widespread, thanks to which it has been possible to increase the durability and reduce the cost of such devices. 
Thus, today the best choice seems to be SSDs with TLC memory and 3D NAND. For example, you can take a closer look at the already legendary Samsung 850 Evo, which has received a new structure and is now available for 6,000 rubles in a 250 GB version - an excellent offer. If you are used to storing terabytes of media files on your computer, then the remaining volume should be filled with ordinary hard drives, from which you can create a raid array if desired.
power unit
The situation with this type of component is the same as with motherboards. When answering the question of how to assemble a gaming computer and what is needed for assembly in the first place, many push these components to the background, which they later bitterly regret. We do not suggest that our readers urgently begin to understand the elemental base of such devices or find out what a varistor is, but we urge them to abandon the approach of choosing a power supply based on the residual principle and hope to insert the cheapest power into a powerful system unit. 
If you want to completely protect yourself from the problems common in power supplies, you will have to fork out the cash and purchase products from a premium brand, for example, SeaSonic, but such a miracle will cost about twelve thousand, and not everyone is mentally prepared for such expenses. As for cheaper options, choosing a reliable and high-quality model is not an easy task, because under the same brand in the same case there can be two completely different devices assembled in different factories with different levels of quality control. After you have approximately decided on the price segment and the models you are interested in, spend some time and look at reviews of these devices on the Internet, then you will be able to form a more adequate picture, based on which you can predict the behavior of the power supply during operation.
If you are so far from technology that even reviews are incomprehensible gibberish for you, then pay attention to time-tested models like the Zalman ZM500-GVM at 500 Watts for three and a half thousand or the Fractal Design Integra M at 450 Watts for four. Power in the range of 400-500 Watts has long been established as a reference and is enough for almost any modern gaming computer.
Frame
The market for cases for system units has not offered us anything fundamentally new this year; the classic budget Zalman Z3 Plus remains, perhaps, the most popular model. If it appearance If your idea of beauty is disgusting, then you can take a look at DeepCool Kendomen for about the same money - it has good dust protection and quite good five fans. 
If aesthetics is a top priority for you, then you need to be prepared for the fact that really interesting cases are quite expensive, for example, the current NZXT H440 Black/Orange will cost a hefty 8,000 rubles. But it looks really premium and it’s no longer a sin to put such a system in a prominent place - the interior of the apartment will not suffer. We hope our material today shed some light on complex world assembling gaming computers and now you can make a thoughtful purchase that will delight you for many years.
Time passes, new games are coming out, the graphics are getting cooler, the gameplay components are getting more complex, and the technical requirements for your gaming computer are getting higher. In addition, new technologies are emerging, such as virtual reality that you definitely want to try. And now, whether you like it or not, you have to beg money from mom look into your piggy bank in search of money to upgrade your computer to the new products of 2017.
It is worth noting that this year, despite the difficult economic situation both in the world and in Russia, such giants as Nvidia and AMD have taken a course of reducing component prices in order to make a powerful gaming computer more affordable for consumers, and, as a result, , allowing the use of VR technologies.
In light of the approaching New Year holidays and numerous sales in hypermarkets in your city/village/urban town (underline as appropriate), now is the time to upgrade or even build your gaming PC from scratch.
We will look at several variations of upgrading your gaming computer, in different price categories, so you don’t have to worry too much about the lack of funds in your budget , allocated by your mother.
BUDGET CONFIGURATION
And so, let’s say you’re fired up by ardent console fans, and you decide to firmly prove to them that for that kind of money you can play at 60 fps and at 1080p. Or your Jewish father, who does not understand computers for study, after looking at the cheapest assemblies on Yandex.Market, gave you only 30,000 wooden ones (which is more likely). Well, then you've come to the right place: in this section we'll look at components for low-budget gaming computers that can run most modern games at ultra settings.
CPU
This small silicon square is, in fact, the heart of everyone personal computer. It is he who is responsible for the processing speed of most processes in the system.
Basically, the load on processors in games occurs when performing all sorts of calculations, such as AI opponents, but sometimes, the processor can help sort out all sorts of tasks that overload the already exhausting video card.
A block of budget models with a fairly large resource reserve has long been formed on the market, so let’s take a look at them.
A very interesting stone is one of the basic processors of the AMD FM2+ family with a powerful built-in video card. This processor has received many prestigious awards on most authoritative resources, including domestic ones. This is ideal for most budget users looking for an affordable base for a modern gaming PC. And if your budget for building a powerful gaming PC is limited to 20,000 rubles, this is an ideal option. Average cost on Yandex Market: 4480 rubles. Rating: 4.5
Intel Core i5-6500
The Core i5-6500 is the cheapest Skylake-based chip. The processor has four physical cores, 6 MB of last level cache and support for DDR4 memory. The processor is installed in the LGA 1151 socket, which, in turn, is found on literally any motherboard within our budget. Overall this is a good option for your gaming computer with a budget of 30,000-40,000 rubles. Average cost on Yandex.Market: 13370 Russian pesos. Rating: 4.5
Intel Core i5-6600K
The chip is slightly faster in performance than the previous copy, but is also inserted into the LGA 1151 socket. This makes it a little more expensive to manufacture, but, fortunately, the processor does not come with a price tag: average cost in 16610 wooden - will fit just right into your budget up to 50,000 rubles. Rating: 4.5
Motherboard
It just so happens that this big thing connects all the components of your computer into a single whole, and therefore it is highly not recommended to disdain the choice of this thing. But the main thing you should pay attention to is the processor socket. Processors from different companies and different generations often have different types sockets, and if you buy a motherboard on the go, you risk severely limiting yourself in choosing a processor. From the above, it is worth concluding that before buying a “mother,” first of all, select a processor.
ASUS A88X-PRO
Maternal ASUS board The A88X-PRO can be fully used to build a powerful gaming computer. If in the future you are planning a powerful upgrade of your computer, then its capabilities allow you to combine several video cards into a CrossFire X system, thanks to which your computer’s performance will increase several times. We added this board to our list for a reason: it has an FM2+ socket, which makes it compatible with the processor presented above - AMD Athlon X4 860K. The A88X-PRO also has a very tasty price tag at 4700 rubles . Rating: 5.0
MSI H110M PRO-D
Since performance is important to us, and we are not going to overclock, install M.2 drives or multiple video cards, this motherboard on the H100 chipset is perfect for our mid-range setup. When building a system on a budget, it has everything you might need, especially if you're going to install a discrete graphics card. And although this particular board on the H110 chipset may be inferior to others, at least in terms of power consumption and heating, it still remains a very good choice. Average price on Yandex.Market: 3,251 rubles. Rating: 4.0
ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4
ASRock Fatal1ty Z170 Gaming K4 is positioned as an entry-level model in the segment of motherboards Intel chipset Z170. It is devoid of any frills, everything is extremely simple. This board does not support Nvidia SLI mode, but let's be honest with each other: you decided to buy this board in order to save money, and installing two or more video cards does not really fit into the concept of “budget”. Price: 8166 Russian pence. Rating: 4.0
Video card
Oh gods, finally this tongue-tied bore has reached the most important component in your future gaming PC - the video card. And it’s true, you can’t go anywhere without it: high-quality textures, all kinds of shaders, geometry processing - the entire picture displayed on your screen is its service. What to choose? And here we will help you.
AMD Radeon RX 480
With the gaming industry suddenly talking about virtual reality, AMD, quickly taking a look at the cost of VR peripherals, decides to release the cheapest and most powerful video card for $150. The result is a completely suitable product, comparable in power and performance to the GeForce GTX 970 and Radeon R9 390. All this, coupled with reduced power consumption and future-proof memory capacity, makes the Radeon RX 480 a worthy candidate for installation in your gaming system. Price list: from 14,000 rubles.

CPU
Intel Core i7-6950X
All factors indicate that the i7-6950X is not a processor for gamers. On the other hand, it was never intended for games. Its fantastic price tag of $1,700 clearly outlines its target audience, and these are professionals who need large quantities cores and high clock speeds on a single-processor platform. However, if you want to get moral satisfaction by showing that you have the longest, then this is the option for you. The processor will clearly not become obsolete soon, and therefore you don’t even have to worry when purchasing this precious stone for 118,000 rubles . Rating: 5.0
Intel Core i7-6800K
On the other hand, there is the Core-i7-6800K - a good option for gamers who want to build the most affordable platform based on the X99 chipset, especially if they use one or two video cards.

More and more people are wondering every day, how to assemble a computer yourself from components from scratch. Assembling a computer yourself and with your own hands is a rather exciting and educational process. Self-assembly and configuration of a computer costs on average 30% less than purchasing a machine that is already assembled and ready to use.
Some people by computer mean a system unit, but I hasten to remind you that a system unit without a monitor, keyboard and mouse is useless. Only with these peripheral devices does it become a fully functioning personal computer.
What do you need to assemble a computer?
To begin assembly, you need to select a new set of parts. It is not advisable to buy used parts, since in the absence of experience in setting up a PC, difficulties may arise.
So, what do you need to build a computer? The points:
- The computer case,
- power unit,
- motherboard,
- CPU,
- RAM,
- video card,
- sound card,
- DVD drive,
- HDD,
- monitor,
- keyboard,
- computer mouse.
Which computer case to choose?
Choose a good quality computer case. It is necessary to pay attention to the fact that in stores there are cases made in China, which are made of very thin sheet metal and are easily deformed under mechanical loads.
The computer case includes a power supply and network cable. Sometimes the case and power supply are sold separately.
How to choose a motherboard?
Motherboards come with integrated cards for processing video and audio. These motherboards are easier to assemble and have average technical parameters.
If you need to equip your computer with more powerful means of reproducing sound and video information, then you need to use a motherboard that is equipped with slots for a video card and a sound card.
When choosing a motherboard, you need to determine the primary use of the computer.
How to choose a video card?
There is no point in using an expensive video card to view news and video information on the Internet. But if you are a fan of computer games with cool video effects or plan to work in powerful programs video editors, then you can’t do without a good video card.
When choosing, always consider the purpose for which you are purchasing a video card. The power and price of the video card will depend on this.
Tell the store salesperson what you need the video card for. He will be able to help you choose the right model.
How to choose a sound card?
The question is how to choose the right one sound card, is quite extensive, so I will limit myself to the basic theses.
Sound cards integrated into the motherboard generally have two channels. If you plan to listen to music through an amplifier or receiver, then buy a multi-channel sound card. There are those that support 5.1 and 7.1 sound systems, when the system has several speakers and a subwoofer.
There are internal sound cards, which are inserted into a connector on the motherboard, and external, which can be connected to the computer via a USB or Firewire connector. Although the latter are more professional level sound cards, which are used by sound engineers, DJs and electronic musicians.
First of all, to answer the question of how to choose a sound card, ask yourself why you need a sound card in principle, and then look for a model that meets your criteria.
How to choose RAM?
To buy suitable RAM, you must first decide on its volume. For an ordinary modern computer, 4 GB is enough. A gaming computer requires at least 8 GB.
It is also important to know the type of RAM connectors on your motherboard. Lately you can mostly find only DDR3, but in general you can find the following types of connectors:
The type of RAM connector is usually indicated in the description motherboard. In any case, check with the store to see if they can exchange the memory you are buying for another type of memory of the same capacity if you make a mistake in choosing the type of memory.
RAM boards are sensitive to static charges, so it is not recommended to unpack them and keep them open until installation. Before installation, it is recommended to touch the metal case to remove any accumulated static charge on you.
HDD
Information that is located on a hard drive also requires a certain amount of space. Depending on your purposes, you may need additional memory.
For work, a 500 GB hard drive is the best option. If you are going to play games or download movies in Blu-ray format to your hard drive, and there will be a lot of them, then you can safely buy a hard drive of 1 terabyte. I prefer to take hard disks Seagate Barracuda.
DVD drives
DVD drives differ by manufacturer and price, otherwise they are standard. They are mainly needed to install programs and drivers for hardware at the initial stage of setting up a computer. Further, if you connect to high-speed Internet, most likely you will rarely use the DVD drive.
How to choose a processor?
Processor power used to depend only on the clock speed. The higher the frequency, the more powerful the processor. But now such a factor as the number of processor cores has been added. The more powerful the processor, the higher the speed of the computer. The motherboard must support the platform or socket of the processor you choose. Therefore, it is better to choose them together and in advance.
The answer to the question of how to choose a processor depends, again, on what you are going to use the computer for.
Monitor, keyboard, mouse
I have been using a Phillips widescreen monitor for quite some time now and successfully. wireless mouse Logitech MX Performance Mouse and the most common USB keyboard.
But I leave the choice of these peripheral devices to your personal taste. The number of opinions and options here is huge. I recommend taking simple but reliable ones.
Assembling a computer with your own hands: How to assemble a computer yourself?
Important tip:
For a while self-assembly computer, it is not recommended to wear synthetic clothing, which condenses electrostatic charge. Electrostatic voltage is detrimental to microcircuits. Therefore, you should use clothes made of cotton fabric.
So, how to build a computer yourself? Assembling a PC begins with installing the processor and radiator with fan on the motherboard. The processor is installed in the socket and secured with a lever. Thermal paste is evenly applied to the surface of the processor and the heatsink is secured, as shown in the figure in the instructions. The cable connector from the fan must be connected to the power socket, which is located next to the processor panel.
You can immediately install a RAM card on the motherboard. You must be extremely careful and not make large mechanical efforts so as not to damage adjacent board elements. I already wrote a detailed one with pictures. Detailed description instructions for installing the processor are supplied with the motherboard.
The next stage of assembly is installing a hard drive and a DVD drive into the PC case. Then the motherboard is installed and secured. The wires with connectors that come from the power supply must be connected to the corresponding sockets on the motherboard, DVD drive and hard drive. Then connect all the wires that go from the front panel of the computer case to the corresponding connectors on the motherboard, following the connection instructions.
Now you can proceed to installation operating system. After full customization software computer, you can close the case cover.
In general, assembling a computer with your own hands takes place in exactly this order. The nuances of how to assemble a computer yourself are not described intentionally, since they are different in each specific case. Leave questions about assembling a computer in the comments.
