A Beginner Guide To Building A Gamer PC

By Shirley Campbell


PC gaming has become such a huge thing these days especially with most of the console games now available for desktops and laptops. Of course, if one wants to do gaming in his or her computer, then he or she needs to build a good gamer pc first. For those interested in doing that, here are a few steps and some tips on how to build up a great gaming computer based on specs.

The first thing that one has to take into consideration would be the CPU. At the very least, one must have a two core processor to take most basic games. However, one will definitely have to check the processor requirements of each individual game to see if that particular game would need a higher core processor.

The next thing that one would need to take note of would be the definition of the game and how the processor affects it. For those who want a full HD game, the minimum specs would be a 2.5Ghz processor which is represented by the letter i and the processor number. The most powerful is an i7 processor but at the very least, an i5 processor is needed for most games in the market.

Moving on from the processor, the next thing to take note of would be the graphic cards as that would directly affect gameplay. With regard to the motherboard, the motherboard has to have the compatible slots for the right dual graphic cards. At a minimum, the motherboard must first have the right SLI slot for the NVIDIA cards or it must have the right Crossfire slot for the AMD Crossfire cards which can run dual graphic cards.

With regard to the graphic cards, you need to get the ones that support the display settings. Good graphic cards would have memories of around 2GB and 4GB to play up to 60 frames per second. If you can, get a video card that can take up to 90 frames per second. This would help prevent lagging or slow running.

Next up is the RAM which is either a DDR3 or a DDR4 as these two are the best RAMs for a gaming motherboard. Do take note that these are also the most compatible with gaming computer motherboards as well. With regard to memory, 32GB is the most recommended but 16GB will do depending on the game.

The last thing to take note of would be the hard drive. The most common type of hard drive would be the HDD which should be 7200RPM and have a cached memory of 16MB in order to take games. As for the storage size, one would want to get a size of up to 500GB for high graphics games but 250GB will suffice for lower graphics games.

For those who want to build a gaming computer, these are the basic things to think of. Now, other things to add to that would be a good monitor, a gaming mouse, a gaming keyboard, cooling fan and a joystick. Those things are not that crucial though as they can be gotten later.
