PC Building

By Jariel Perez

Many people have trouble deciding what processors or motherboards they should use when building a personal computer (PC). It really doesn’t matter, as long as you feel comfortable with what you think might be good. Now I’m not saying go out and buy everything. It really depends on your budget how much you are willing to spend.

Now, if you are low on money or have 100 dollars or so to spend, your computer won’t be able to handle tough gaming but it will be able to play non-FPS (frames per second) destroying games. First, start off with looking for a good desktop tower case. Look for one with good ventilation that has enough space for a medium-sized motherboard. You can find one on Amazon for cheap. Next up, the motherboard. The motherboard plays a crucial part in PC building. Now, finding a good motherboard is going to be a little costly. But there are good motherboards for around 40-60 dollars. Your motherboard must have some requirements if you want a decent PC. It should have at least 4 Gigabytes of RAM (random access memory) space. RAM is the space you have for your graphics card, and it’s mostly used when playing games. It should also have space for at least a 700 watt power supply, so it can power all components, modules, and the graphics card. Now, moving on to the graphics card. I’d recommend getting an Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 2.8 GHz Dual‑Core Processor, because it gets the job done for a good price (like 50-100 dollars). You’ll need a Hard Disk Drive as well, but those are a little more pricey (like 50-200 dollars). Now we are pretty much done with the desktop tower. Time to move on to the monitor.

To find a monitor for cheap is not too hard. On Ebay or Craigslist, there will usually be monitors for really low prices. I’d recommend the Hp – 20″ Led Hd Monitor – Silver/black, just because of the fact that it’s 100 dollars and it has features like HD (high definition) display, high resolution display, LED lights et cetera. There are many more monitors like this specific one, and some are even cheaper, but this is the only one I could find that was good.

This concludes how to build a PC or PC setup. It really all depends on your budget and how comfortable you feel with a certain component you want to purchase.
