A Beginner Guide To Building A Gamer PC

By Shirley Campbell


For those who love to play games at home or for those who want to become professional players, they will need a good computer for games. Now, in order to have a gamer pc, certain specs will be needed to take the heavy requirements of games. So for those who are really serious about getting a powerful gaming computer, here are some of the things to take note of with regard to the specs.

Now, the very first thing that one has to take a look at is the CPU. Most games need to have a minimum of two core processors in order to run. However, one needs to take note of the requirements of the game because other games would require a higher core processor than just the usual dual core processor.

Aside from that, one must also take into consideration how the processor would affect the definition of the game. In order to get a high def gaming experience, the least that one would need is a 2.5Ghz processor. For more modern processors, the thing to watch out for would be whether the processor is an i5 or i7 wherein the i5 is the minimum needed for gaming and the i7 is the most powerful type.

Now, the graphic card is a very important thing to think about since it is the graphic card that will determine the quality of the game. Before thinking about the graphic card though, one has to make sure that the motherboard can take in the correct graphic cards. At the very least, the motherboard must have a correct SLI slot for the NVIDIA cards or a Crossfire slot for AMD Crossfire cards so that the computer can run dual graphic cards.

Now, the graphic cards will be the the main factors for the display settings. Now, a good pair of graphic cards would have a memory range of about 2GB to 4Gb depending on the game. This would be able to take games that run from 30 frames per second to up to 90 frames per second in order to avoid lag.

The RAM is the next thing to think about. Most of the motherboards would have RAMs that are either a DDR3 or a DDR4 as these are the best for gaming. As with the memory, 16GB to 32GB is a good range but 32GB may be needed for the really high def games with insane graphics.

Finally, the last thing to think of would be the hard drive storage. The most common would be an HDD storage which would require a 7200RPM with cached memory of up to 16MB if one wants to put in games. For the storage size, then a good amount would be somewhere between 250GB to 500GB depending on what kind of game one would want to run.

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.
