Build Your Own PC Game

If you are just starting to tinker around with computers and want to build your own gaming PC without having to spend the thousands of dollars that hard core gamers spend on their rigs, then you have come to the right place. Gamers of the wealthy kind or even the addicted spender who would rather have the newest graphics card than have a presentable apartment have all the inside information on the newest, fastest and greatest PC parts that have yet to hit the market, and they are also very exclusive, so let us not go there. Here, we are going to talk about how a regular guy, with a healthy gaming hobby and a sensible mind builds a gaming PC that he can play the latest games with without having to shell out serious cash.

First off, a gaming computer is so far removed from a regular or office computer in the sense that it is built to enhance the gaming experience in its entirety. What this means is that you have to take into consideration the visual, auditory and ease of control factors when you build a gaming PC. Sure, it will still be able to do all of the stuff that you do with a regular computer, but much, much faster and with richer sensory stimuli. And the good thing about putting up a high performance PC is that you can also use its resources for heavier software like photo and video editing programs that you can tinker with or make money off of. That said, let us look at the three basic things that you need when you want to build a gaming PC on a budget.

First off, you need to get a good CPU. The CPU or processor determines the speed at which your computer can handle data. But don't waste your CPU's juice; get RAM sticks that maximize its performance. The newer 64 bit systems allow up to 16gigs of RAM and this ensures that your rig can handle huge amounts of data. 

Next, pickup a proper gaming mother board. You can pass on those dual video card models because for a lot of the newer games, if you are not going to be playing them on a 54-inch 3D LED monitor, a single, good, high performance video card will do. Make sure that you get a good mother board because those cheap ones do not maximize your CPU's and video card's processing powers. Lastly, the video card. As we have said, a good, middle of the pack video card can handle the newest games. And since there are just too many manufacturers and models to choose from, it would be best if you read the latest reviews before you build your gaming PC.
