A modern computer consists of several main parts, on the parameters of which its performance depends. Most often, computers are sold ready-made, but if you want to assemble a modern computer yourself, there are several subtleties that you need to pay attention to when selecting components.

Step 1
The main element of the computer - the central link - is the processor. There are two main processor manufacturers in Russia - Athlon and Intel. Their platforms are radically different, and depending on which processor you choose, the choice of the second most important element will be made - the motherboard.
Step 2
Choose a motherboard for the processor. Socket is indicated in the characteristics of the processor - the motherboard must have the same socket, otherwise you simply will not install the processor into the board. Besides, powerful processors will not be able to realize all their capabilities on "weak" and cheap motherboards, so approach the price-quality ratio reasonably.
Step 3
Study your motherboard specifications carefully. Find those that relate to RAM - the third most important element of the computer. DDR [number] and the frequency options indicated alongside are indicators that you should rely on when choosing RAM. It is also worth paying attention to the maximum supported volume and the list of trusted manufacturers.
Step 4
When choosing a video card, start from the purpose for which you are assembling the computer. For games, you should choose a powerful video card, for video processing - a video card with a large amount of its own memory; for normal work in office applications, an integrated video adapter is enough for you.
Step 5
Now it remains to choose a drive, hard drive and a case with a power supply. If everything is more or less easy with the drive and the hard drive, then you will have to sweat when choosing a power supply. Calculate the required power of the power supply using special calculators that can be easily found on the Internet. And also make sure it has all the necessary connectors (the motherboard power connectors are especially important).
