When buying a personal computer, many people do not know what points to pay special attention to. Indeed, there is a fairly large list of circumstances that can influence the choice. Much depends on the tasks for which the computer is intended.
Instructions
Step 1
Start by choosing a personal computer manufacturer. It is very difficult to assess a particular company, because they all have both disadvantages and advantages. Therefore, this task falls on your shoulders.
Step 2
Find out what functionality the future computer should have. The fact is that many people choose "hardware" in a computer "with a margin". This is not always rational. If, for example, you buy a computer for office work and do not plan to run "heavy" applications on it, let alone games, then there is no point in buying a powerful computer.
Step 3
Pay attention to the amount of RAM on your computer. The fact is that with the simultaneous operation of three or four programs, it is almost impossible to notice the difference in computer performance when it has 3 or 4 GB of RAM installed. According to statistics, many users do not use more than two GB of RAM at all.
Step 4
Move on to exploring the hard drive. Naturally, choose a hard drive of the required size. Even with a huge amount of all kinds of easily accessible content, 500 GB will be more than enough for many. Pay attention to the speed of the hard drive. It is not worth buying a large volume disc with a low reading speed.
Step 5
Now select your graphics card. For an office computer, a 512 MB video adapter will be enough. If you plan to use a personal computer also for games, then the minimum amount of video card memory should be 1 GB.
Step 6
Don't forget the processor too. Do not chase the new, just appeared, six-core processors. An ordinary user will be more than enough with a dual-core processor with a frequency of each core equal to 3 GHz.
Step 7
When choosing a case for a system unit, one rule should be taken into account: it should not be too large, but sufficient for free placement of all devices in it. This is necessary for high-quality ventilation and cooling of the equipment.
