Things To Consider

The Motherboard: What do you expect to do if you get a low-end motherboard and buy high-end components that don’t fit or limits the parts you can buy for an upgrade? The answer is an irredeemable waste of money. Create a list of possible components you want for your gaming desktop and then find a motherboard that can accommodate the pieces.

 

The Processor: This is typically the heart of the computer. The CPU will complete most of the task while the GPU will spend its power in graphics and physics calculations for your quality visual output. If you are planning on buying a high-end GPU, then you must also purchase a high-grade processor capable of fully unleashing the power of your chosen computer components.

 

The Graphics Card or GPU: It is the apple of every gamer’s eye. It depicts the resolution of games you can play and the kind of graphics it can process. Arming your gaming desktop with a high-end GPU will add extra satisfaction to your gaming experience and enable multi-monitor setup by equipping multiple graphics cards. The higher graphics can allow you to play 4K and VR games at high resolutions. It is also undeniably the most expensive component you can buy, although additional cards will also cost you a significantly higher electric bill.

 

The RAM: Faster and higher RAM can improve the overall performance of your gaming desktop build and free it from potential performance bottlenecks. It also enables the CPU to perform in a stable condition when you overclock the processor. Installing a good 8GB for casual gaming is enough, and 16GB to 32GB RAM is a must if you are considering on going for high-end gaming.

The Storage: SSDs or Solid state drives are popular due to the speed they have compared to regular hard disk drives. It speeds up booting time, wakeup speed, and loading games. However, they are quite expensive in larger capacities. It would be wise to pair it with a hard disk drive for other storage means.

 

The Coolant and Case: These two go hand in hand most of the time. More prominent cases can shelf more powerful desktop components such as the motherboard, GPU, and cooling system. It also allows more breathing space for heat to dissipate during operation. Bigger cases can also house liquid cooling systems, which are great to spend a bit more on parts that can increase the desktop’s FPS such as the processor, graphics card, and RAM. Quality components will also affect your desktop’s overall lifespan. Lastly, do not purchase parts more than your budget can afford.
