Tips for Building A Computer

Many people find it convenient to just walk into a store selling branded computers and purchase one. These computers offer both quality and service at a fairly reasonable price. But they generally have at least one component that is under-specs or outdated. For example, the amount of system memory would be too low, or the hard drive capacity would be less, or perhaps they won't offer an option with a video card suitable for gaming. As such, more-and-more people today prefer to build their own PC from scratch. This gives them complete control over the customization.

How to Choose Components?

Selection of components depends upon your specific requirements from the computer you're planning to build.
A basic home computer will not need any fancy configuration, while a computer meant for gaming purposes will need an excellent graphics card and extra high-speed RAM. A server will need big hard-drive/s, and audio/video editing would require a high quality sound/graphics card, along with speedy memory and advanced processor.

How to Install the Software's?

After the hardware setup, the software installation is a piece of cake, although it does take longer than the assembling part. Operating System, device drivers, application software, antivirus program, any games, printers, cameras and all other third party devices are installed.

This might seem like a complex procedure to someone who is not from technical background. But building a computer is not as difficult as most people think it is.

How to Assemble the Hardwares?

Assembling the hardware is what stumps most people. But in truth, it's as easy as plugging in your cell phone for re-charging. Most computer parts are designed in such a way that they fit-in properly in just one way. The slots are notched differently, numbers of pins vary for different components, or they're just color coded. So, as long as unnecessary force is not applied, it doesn't take too long to set it all up without breaking anything.
