Probably nothing is as susceptible to non-mechanical wear as a computer. Every year, more advanced models with a large amount of RAM, a new type of hard drive and a motherboard enter the market. And for technology with ten years of experience, additional RAM to load a new game cannot be found. There is only one way out - to buy a new computer.

Instructions
Step 1
To choose a computer, you need to determine its main purpose: gaming, work or home computer. If you have certain requirements for a computer, order a computer assembly "to your taste." Better to wait a day than to buy what is available in the store.
Step 2
When choosing a gaming computer, the main component is the graphics card. Choose a dedicated graphics card with active cooling. The larger its cooler, the quieter the card itself will work. Moreover, the amount of memory for games does not play a decisive role, so pay attention to the memory speed. For example, a card with DDR5 dynamic memory will be faster than DDR3. The recognized leader in this category is the Asus video card.
Step 3
Office machines will have a fairly integrated video card, which comes with a hybrid processor. Don't chase after a powerful power supply. For the full operation of any modern model, a unit with a capacity of 400-450 watts is quite enough.
Step 4
When choosing a model for home for the purpose of going online, chatting, watching movies, name the amount you are willing to spend, and the store will select the best option for you.
Step 5
It will not work to assemble a powerful and silent model due to the operation of the coolers. But keep in mind that the cooler located at the bottom of the PSU (120mm) makes less noise than the cooler installed at the back of the PSU (80mm).
Step 6
Unless your goal is a super-powerful computer, you don't have to pay extra for an Intel processor. If you want a powerful, fast-performing computer at the right price, choose an AMD processor.
Step 7
When choosing a motherboard, it will be preferable to choose the brands Asus and Gigabyte. They are distinguished from other manufacturers by their high reliability and the constant release of BIOS updates to support the hardware.
Step 8
Choose a motherboard with a built-in video card, regardless of the presence of a separate one, this will keep the computer working in case of failure of the main video card.
Step 9
You shouldn't be guided by a large number of ports, displays, or a complex motherboard design. The simpler the design, the more reliable the board. Pay attention only to the capacitors of the board - they must be solid-state.
Step 10
When choosing RAM, don't go after quantity. Buying, for example, 16 GB of RAM is simply pointless, even for a gaming computer. This will only slightly improve performance, but reduce the reliability of the computer. For a gaming machine, 8 GB will be enough, for a home computer - 4 GB, for a work computer, 2 GB will be enough.
Step 11
Nowadays, with the development of the Internet, the need to download large files, such as movies and games, has disappeared. Therefore, a 512 GB hard disk will be sufficient. Moreover, disks with a large amount of memory have a more complex design, heat up more, respectively, and fail faster.
Step 12
When choosing an optical disc drive, DVD-RW will suffice. It makes no sense to buy a Blu-ray drive. all the advantages of this format can be seen only on huge monitors.
Step 13
It remains to choose the case of the system unit. For the office, a more classic version is suitable, and for the home - everything will depend on your imagination.
