best gaming computer to build image
Isaac
From least to greatest, what the most important pieces of a computer build to the least important. Thanks! We're talking gaming PC
Answer
First and foremost is why. Why is this computer being built? Is it going to be used for CPU intensive programs or GPU intensive programs or both? It's going to start with your CPU. Without the correct socket type it's a bit hard to dive into the deep end of motherboards. This is your brain.
Heat-stroke needs to be the last thing on your mind. Looking at after-market coolers is next. Does their cooling power meet and/or exceed the max TDP of your CPU? Do you need air or water cooling and why is that? If it's CPU intensive do you want to go the SSD route?
Next up is the HDD/ssd combo. SSD's haven't came to the point of being cost effective so a main drive usually no less than 120GB SSD would step in the utilize the board's SATA 6 connection(s) and offer a performance boost to the programs that rely on very fast read and write times.
That brings in the motherboard to tie the CPU and HDD.How are you going to release that engine's power? It has a memory in the hard drives but only long term memory.
Next up is RAM. Considering 1333,1600,1866,2100,2300... does the motherboard ask for dual or triple channel? What the heck is CL(Cas Latency)? Does it really matter if the timings are at 9 9 9 25 or 6 7 6 18. Let's give this beast some eyes.
This would bring in the GFX card. Does the board support PCI express 2.0 x16 or 3.0x16? Do some of your expected programs on your HDD/SSD necessitate a ton of GFX memory but not so much that would bring in a Fire pro or Quadro. 2GB of VRAM or 3 or is 1GB going to cover things?
Are some of your program still tethered to a disc? This brings in the DVD/CD/Blu-ray players, inscribers, label makers and burners. You now have your CPU,HDD,mobo,RAM,GFX card, disc player, many fans and other peripherals and they need food. How much food does your hardware need. Are you adding an extra helping of power to prepare for upgrades? Your body now needs a home.
Bring in the case. It needs to have very good airflow and be roomy enough to feed the internal air breathers like your CPU cooler or GFX cooler and keep the passive coolers on the RAM, motherboard, gfx card(s) and the rest nice,cool and happy.
Have you installed so much inside that you need some more air to keep them cool as they eat? After market fans to replace the stock fans are next. Do you need a controller to keep your temps and fans in check? After you get to this point there is so much that can be done to trick out your case that only your imagination and the bleeding edge of technology define.
