The 5 Magical Rules Of Choosing PC Parts

       Pc Gaming is a massive industry now. Promoting pc gear and equipment is hard because many people believe it is too expensive. However that's not the case. Many great pc games such as Black Ops 2 and BioShock Infinite are easily runable on laptops with dual cores. Just to say however this does not mean that all the settings can be turned very high or high.

       It just needs to be adequate enough for it to run, in other words the 'recommended settings'. Personally I own a gaming computer myself and it is expensive. The full system specs are below. But that is my choice. Choosing the right equipment and gear for your gaming needs can be challenging but I came up with a SOLUTION to this problem. Maybe you can refer it as a thumb of rule or something along those lines.

The 5 Magical Rules Of Choosing Pc Parts

• Controversy, Intel makes better processors than AMD. Personally I find Intel to be better at multiprocessing and everyday tasks but of course if you are on a budget then by any means go for a AMD processor. Video editing is different as you do need the top of the top processor such as a i7-4790k processor. This is because of hyper-threaded technology (INTEL ONLY). In simple terms an i7 processor(4 cores) with hyper-threaded technology will have 8 logical cores. So for every physical core there is there are 2 logical cores meaning the processor can perform twice as fast.

• Motherboards are a great example of tight competition between the BIG brands for example, Gigabyte, Asus, AsRock, Msi. Gigabyte is the preferred motherboard because of its added features as well as its complexity and it just looks great! The price is reasonable as well.

• Graphics Cards are biggest part you must get if you wish to play games at medium or high settings. Depending on your processor however if it already has a built graphics adapter then that should be sufficient enough to play old games and I'm not talking about games a few years back, I'm talking about games for 2005. But we want the big boys. Now this is where it gets complicated. There are major two chipset manufacturers; NVIDIA and AMD. AMD in this case are pretty good at making graphics cards considering their price. NVIDIA is a little expensive however it is worth it in the far future when PC games require more graphical power from the GPU. After you've made your decision it now depends all your likes and dislikes of GPU manufactures. Some good brands for AMD cards are Sapphire, Asus, Msi and Gigabyte. Some good brands for NVIDIA cards are Evga, Msi and Asus.

• Next is the RAM (Random Access Memory). This component is the part where the processor sends its calculated information to all of the other components. In other words the more gigabyte of RAM if have the faster your computer will run. That said it also counts down to the frequency of the RAM also known as mHz. As you may have guessed the larger the mHz the faster the RAM is. Considering your budget buying the largest gigabyte of RAM with a fast mHz is not worth it as it very expensive and there is a very small difference in RAM mhz; in the nanoseconds. Unless of course you need it for video editing or 3D rendering or something along those lines.

• The last rule is for your other components. This may include CPU cooler, PSU, case, HDD or SSD, DVD player, an operating system and other miscellaneous parts such as case fans. For a quality brand for your PSU, Corsair is the best while Seagate is for hard drives or solid state drives. 

I hope these rules help you people out there who want to build your very own PC. Take these rules only into consideration as they are of personal opinion and factual information.
