hardware to assemble the PC

there are several hardware that you must buy in order to build your own PC. The hardware that you need to buy is processor, motherboard,memory, video card, storage, power supply and case. You also must take attention when buy this part because it may effect the PC that you want.

1. PROCESSOR

- The brain of the computer
- Process all the instruction receives from the software and other components
 Take a note:

• no of cores - commonly 2 (dual) and 4 (quad) core CPU
• no of threads - 2 processing threads/core (hyperthreading), frequency each core in a CPU runs
• cache - on-board memory is stored in 1 or more caches, L2 or L3
• socket type - important to determine type of motherboard to buy
• cooler - processor come with the fans rated for specific speed and estimated output

2.MOTHERBOARD

- Act as nervous system of the computer
- Most plug into it
Take a note on:

• socket type - match with the CPU
• memory - know memory type and standard
• expansion slot -longest slot is x16
• storage - SATA is the most common interface, the newest is SATA3 that takes up to 6Gbps
• video card support - for concoct and ultra powerful gaming machine

3. MEMORY

- Random Access Memory (RAM)
- Data stored while the processor is waiting to crunch the number
Take a note on:

• type
• capacity - buy what you need and affordable
• memory timings - series of 4 no, separated by hyphens
• error checking & correction (ECC) - for the high performance system

4. VIDEO CARD

- For gaming, video card is a must thing
- Required for any program that are designed to take advantages of graphic hardware accelaration
Take a note on:

• processing core - Graphic Processing Core (GPU), the more the better it performed
• clock rates - speed of GPU runs
• memory - video memory (VRAM) functioning same as the ordinary RAM does.
• ports
• power requirement - power hungry component

5. STORAGE

- when build our own PC, we can easily add or change the storage
Take a note on:

• whether it is hard drive or SDD - every of it has pro's and con's
• interface
• form factor - size of the drive
• hard drive specs - most consumer hard drive spin is at 7200 @ 10 000 rpm

6. POWER SUPPLY

- Without this, nothing else won't work
Take note on:

• maximum power - highest amount of power the CPU capable
• form factor
• connectors - whether it is preattached or modular

7. CASE

- House to all other components
Take a note on:

• form factor
• front panel parts and controls
• drive bays
• fans and filter
