Not everyone knows that you can save money on buying a personal computer. If you take this issue seriously, then the total cost will decrease by 20-30%.
Instructions
Step 1
To begin with, refuse to purchase a ready-made system unit. Don't worry if you don't know how to assemble your computer yourself. Most stores offer free assembly when purchasing a specific set of parts. In addition to the obvious cost savings, this method has another important advantage: you can independently choose every detail of your future computer.
Step 2
Select the correct motherboard model. If you do not need certain quality devices, then purchase a motherboard with an integrated sound card and an integrated network adapter. This will make it easier to find drivers for these devices and will save you a little.
Step 3
Don't buy a powerful CPU unless you need to. Immediately discard new models of these devices. They are usually overpriced. Better to buy a model that went on sale about a year ago. As for the technical characteristics of the central processor, this is everyone's personal business. It is only worth noting that most users will not see the difference between dual-core and quad-core CPUs.
Step 4
If your plans do not include working with powerful graphics editors and launching modern games, then refuse to buy a discrete graphics card. An integrated video adapter will be more than enough to run simple games and office applications. In this case, you need to select a specific motherboard model.
Step 5
If you want to save a lot of money, then get a used computer. Devices that have been used for at least six months are 20-30% cheaper. You can try purchasing a PC from an online store. Be sure to first collect feedback on the selected service. Find out the delivery time of the goods and the company's warranty obligations.
