So, in this article we will try to formulate as clearly as possible the basic principles when choosing a computer for games. What is most important in this matter? The first is, of course, the quality of the computer, but the second is not news to anyone - the price. That is, maximum performance for reasonable money.
The first advice when assembling a computer yourself is not to go to the store under any circumstances! Even for a consultation! No, this is something that should not be done in the first place. You and the salesperson have two different goals. He, of course, will be happy to help you choose a computer, and will do everything right, but he would prefer to get the maximum profit for the same characteristics.
The most important components for a gaming computer are the processor and graphics card. But don't underestimate everything else. It is necessary to seriously and carefully select the components of the configuration, because absolutely all of them affect the smooth operation of the computer.
A video card is something that cannot be saved on, even with small finances. Usually it takes about 40% of the cost of the entire computer. It is the video card that is responsible for the graphic image of your games, for high-quality work and a dynamic picture. First of all, it should be with high power, and the amount of memory is already a secondary value. With low and even medium power, you will not get the graphics that the game is capable of and that you expect, and along with the slowed down picture you will not get support for new functions either.
A processor is required to control all components of a computer and to ensure their interaction with each other. The cost of the processor should be 20% of the cost of the entire computer. Often consumers pay attention only to the frequency, which is not entirely correct. Of course, frequency is a necessary characteristic, but the process architecture is much more important. Also, be sure to consider the cache memory - it is better when there is more of it.
The motherboard coordinates the work of the processor, RAM, expansion cards and other components. We will spend 20% of our budget on it. The selection of the motherboard should also be very, very careful, since all of the above components are inserted into it. The more modern the motherboard's chipset is, the more newer the processor and the higher-frequency RAM can be inserted into it, and it makes sense to think about this if you plan to gradually update your computer in the future.
RAM is a part of computer memory that temporarily stores instructions and data required by the processor to perform a particular operation. Consequently, the more RAM, the more commands the computer can execute in the same time. Therefore, without a doubt, opera
