In the previous two articles in this series we introduced basic computer components, now it's time to put the pieces together. So get ready to learn more- and do not worry - this is not a "how to" manual for heavy machinery!
In this article we will explain the equipment for 2 types of computers - one using a Mid-Range processor, and other using a High-End processor (mid-range and high end being defined by prices), having those two processors as starting points. To make it even easier for you, we are giving you a list of components those two computers will have in common:
Motherboard - Asus EVO Desktop (be sure the motherboard is compatible with the CPU you are buying!) Monitor - LCD monitor, Acer X193HQL 18.5" PC case - comes with the power supply, which distributes power to the hardware components - (consider how much space you need, and of course, be sure the motherboard will fit into it!) RAM memory (depends on which operating system you will be using) - you should buy the memory depending on how fast you want your computer to run, but always try to buy as much as you can; (for the high end computer you will need at least 2GB or more). Hard drive - this depends on how much information you want to save CD/DVD writer - very important gadget nowadays! Unless you're installing an application online, almost all computer software and applications are using CDs to install, so without this component, your goose is cooked! USB reader - Necessary if you want to back up, read, or copy data from a portable, flash memory card Video card - if you are considering a high end computer you should consider investing in a high quality video card LAN card - not really necessary unless you want to transfer data faster from one computer to other Keyboard and mouse - this is pretty self explanatoryWe did not include an operating system (you should buy one supported by the type of CPU you are going to be using).
Here are the final products:
Mid range computer - will use a mid-range processor, such as Intel Core 2 Duo E7500. This is the type of computer widely used among regular computer users. Even though it is not using the latest CPU model, it's close enough. These computers are reliable and strong for most tasks, while keeping in mind we mean as far as building a computer for personal use. Want to play games? Sure you can, unless something revolutionary comes out, and that might just happen, that requires a bit more than this computer can do. Want to bring home some work from the office? This computer should be able to handle the overflow from your office (spreadsheets and materials for a presentation to name of few things.) Want to watch a DVD or video? Sure! But do not forget, the better resolution your monitor has, the more you will enjoy the view. The approximate price of this computer, using the mid-range processor and the rest of the components would be around $ 950 and some change. Of course, you can shop around for special deals to get a better price.
High end computer -with a high-end processor such as the Intel Core i7-965 Extreme Edition, this little number will thrill you with its performance, including its speed. The ultimate toy, this computer is just waiting for you to play with it. What is so good about this computer? Well, probably the fact that you can do whatever you want on it. OK, let's not exaggerate; you cannot watch holographic movies, but otherwise... You can perform a myriad of tasks on it; from writing essays in Word to editing movies. The approximate price of this computer with the high-end processor and the rest of the components would be around $ 2, 500. Ahem, we did say high end rig ht?
In conclusion, understanding how a computer is put together is hopefully not as hard as it may have once seemed. However, we still feel it is your best bet to leave the actual building of your computer to a professional. We just wanted you to know the process, so you have a better idea of what that professional is actually doing.
Suggest How to Build Your Own Computer Part III TopicsQuestion by : Is this Newegg setup the best possible for me? I am saving up money working retail for the holidays and next Friday I get a big check and I want to buy myself a late Christmas present. I seriously game and I want to also be able to do anything like video or photo editing reasonably fast, but I will only have around a 1000 dollars so I want the "cheapest best" system. This is the system I designed on Newegg and you will see what I mean by "cheapest best" by my parts selection. Sony Optiarc 24X DVD/CD Rewritable Drive Black SATA Model AD-7240S-0B - OEM Antec Nine Hundred Black Steel ATX Mid Tower Computer Case - Retail Seagate Barracuda 7200.12 ST31000528AS 1TB 7200 RPM SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive -Bare Drive ASUS M4A79XTD EVO AM3 AMD 790X ATX AMD Motherboard - Retail HIS H577FN1GD Radeon HD 5770 1GB 128-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready CrossFireX Support Video Card - Retail CORSAIR CMPSU-750TX 750W ATX12V / EPS12V SLI Ready CrossFire Ready 80 PLUS Certified Active PFC Compatible with Core i7 Power ... - Retail G.SKILL Ripjaws Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model F3-12800CL9D-4GBRL - Retail AMD Phenom II X4 965 Black Edition Deneb 3.4GHz Socket AM3 140W Quad-Core Processor Model HDZ965FBGIBOX - Retail I chose AMD Phenom II because I want to get my bang for my buck out of whatever architecture I choose. If I get i7 920 I will not only have to wait until my next paycheck to save up more, but it isn't that much better, and it requires triple channel RAM to fully utilize it, and the comparable AMD Phenom II 965 has higher GHZ yet is much cheaper than the i7 920, the cheapest newest Intel quad core chip. The other major decision was which video card to get, Nvidia or ATI, and ATI again is cheaper and better than the cheapest newest Nvidia cards that do Direct X 11 which I want to be able to do. So I settled on the 5000 series ATI graphics cards which are faster and can do Direct X 11 unlike comparably priced Nvidia cards. Finally I chose this motherboard so I can do dual graphics cards in the future which I plan to do. It is not necessary to do it now enough to justify the cost currently. RAM and a second video card can be added later. Another thing I will add is a solid state drive, which is the reason I am asking this question. If I can get comparably priced parts to these within all the parameters I have described I can get the solid state drive now and not have to reinstall Windows 7 later when I save more money which will be a hassle, as I will have to move things around on the hard drives again. A side note: The 1GB drive will be for storage and I will add more as necessary. Two additional notes: this will be the first computer I've built from scratch. Also, considering I will add more RAM, video cards and hard drives, is the power supply sufficient? I hope through upgrades to get at least a couple years out of this setup, without not being able to play the newest games or have to deal with slow programs ever again. I made a typo. I meant to say I want to see if there are even cheaper best parts so I can afford the solid state drive. And also I forgot to ask if I need any other parts (except the monitor I will buy a better one next month). Best answer for Is this Newegg setup the best possible for me?:
Answer by Ms Malkin
Looks awesome for the price there. And the 5770 GPU is a great pick for around $ 160 Your power supply is good quality too. 750 watts should be plenty, even if you decide to crossfire another 5770 later on. I have that same RAM with my Core i7 860, and a 5850 Radeon
Answer by Abdu Rahim
I'm drooling. this will be a fine machine for your purpose, and one heckuva bang for your buck. the 750w power supply will do just fine by it. personally, i'd go with the nvidia card, because i think they are worth the extra, but, it is your choice, and still a fine card. overall, i'd give this system a 9/10 on the affordable power scale.
Answer by Flix
The power supply will be more than sufficient, and that's a great pc you're looking at building. Isn't building your own PC wonderful? On that note, however, always double check the combined power recommended rates--just in case you happen to get something unusual. But 750 W is about 3x as much as the most powerful home computers will put out right now. The rest is just in excess out of p aranoia and a safety clutch just in case. Seems like an excellent pc that will last quite some time.
