How to build a gaming computer?

You will need a variety of components to build your gaming computer. It is important to research the best parts and make sure they all fit together.

Although there are many things to consider when deciding on a build, it is more affordable than purchasing a fully assembled PC. We’ll show you today the most cost-effective and suitable PC build available. You can visit for more information about this.

Processor (CPU)

Your processor or CPU is basically the brain of your computer. It is the brain of your computer. It tells you what to do and when. It is a vital part of any gaming computer as it can have a significant impact on your gaming performance and general speed.

i7-chipWhen gaming is concerned, you will be searching for the best “single core performance” within your budget. This will most often be an Intel CPU, as they are generally the best in terms of gaming performance at the moment. AMD has been making huge progress and is quickly catching up to Intel in gaming performance.

Keep in mind that different sockets are compatible with different motherboards. For example, the 6th-generation Intel i3, i5, or i7​​​​​ processors (like the i5-6600) use LGA 1151 sockets. The AM3 socket is used by the AMD FX 6300, an older model. Make sure the processor you choose shares the same socket with you when you pick a motherboard you intend to use.

Motherboard

The most important part of any build is to pick a motherboard. Depending on who you ask, it can be either overlooked or underestimated.

There are four primary sizes for desktop motherboards: mini-ITX (or micro-ATX), ATX (or ATX), and extended-ATX (or extended-ATX). mITX is for smaller HTPCs and other compact designs. eATX is so large that most people will never need one. These classifications don’t have any standard sizes. It is common to notice differences in height and width when comparing two different motherboards. The most popular motherboards are ATX and Micro-ATX, and these will be used in your build

For obvious reasons, larger motherboards have more space for expansion. So it’s best to pick a motherboard with a small size. However, you might be able to find an ATX motherboard with approximately the same number of ports and slots as an ATX motherboard if your goal is to make a smaller PC in a mATX-sized box.

Graphics Card (GPU).

Don’t personally get into the old AMD vs Nvidia debate. Great if one side is able to consistently produce higher numbers than the other. However, I would be foolish to choose the best performer solely based on their name.

In the same way as CPUs, graphics cards can’t be compared “number for number” to other brands. For example, an 8GB RX580 isn’t necessarily better than a 6GB GTX1660 Ti. Another reason it is important to monitor/read benchmarks when choosing your graphics card. Make sure it is the most performant within your budget.

System Memory (RAM/Random access Memory)

RAM is where bits and pieces of data are temporarily stored until they are needed again. If you don’t have enough RAM, your system won’t be able to store the temporary data. This is especially true if you’re gaming.

DDR4 RAM has become the standard for new builds, as it is required to function by the latest Intel and AMD CPU processors. The motherboards that are compatible with the latest Intel and AMD CPUs can only be used with DDR4 RAM. Sorry, DDR3 sticks can’t be reused.

Storage (HDD/SSD)

There are many types of storage, including SSDs and HDDs that use SATA, as well as M.2 drives. The right setup can make a huge difference in your experience. It’s important to understand what you want.

SSDs are the fastest storage options that we have, but they also come at a high price. A 240GB SSD costs about the same as a 1TB HDD. Solid state drives are best used as your “boot drive”, storing your most important programs, and your operating system.

The SSD vs HDD comparison is simply one of size vs. speed vs. price. The differences between them are very simple. SSDs are faster than HDDs, but HDDs have more space per dollar.

Combining an SSD and HDD is a common way to have both speed and space. 120GB is sufficient for a single SSD. In a similar configuration, you could run 2x HDDs and 2x SSDs. Your motherboard’s ability to support multiple SATA data lanes is the only limit.

Power Supply (PSU)

Power supply is as crucial as you think it is. You run the risk of parts becoming damaged if you don’t have a high quality supply. This is not ideal. This is why you shouldn’t buy anything less than a high-quality 80+ Bronze-rated power supply.

corsair-cx550m-semi-modular-psuLike almost any other computer component, power supplies come in a few different styles, non-modular, semi-modular and modular are all terms you might read on a power supplies spec sheet. Semi-modular power supplies have one permanently attached cable, while semi-modular supplies have only one permanently attached. Modular power supplies are customizable to your specific needs and can be customized with 0 permanently attached cables.

You don’t want to save money on your power supply as it can cause a complete shutdown of your computer. It is important to have a reliable power supply.

Fans and CPU Cooler

A gaming computer needs to cool down. This is especially important for a PC that will be put through its paces. Cooling is also important for all components of your case, including the CPU.

Modern processors are extremely efficient and can get very hot while you play. It is important to keep them cool – not just to prevent overheating or breaking, but also to ensure smooth operation of your computer and uninterrupted gaming.

The CPU can be purchased with heatsinks or fan systems separately. A liquid cooling system that has a large radiator will be the best for a high-end gaming computer. They work by moving heat from the processor to the case. This keeps everything running at its best.

You can used the NZXT Kraken Z73 for this build. These liquid CPU coolers can be installed and fitted quickly. They also have the same cooling performance as liquid cooling, but without the risk of spillages. This all-in-one cooler has an LCD screen which can display everything from GIFs to CPU/GPU temperatures, processor load, and many other things.

Optical drives

You used to build a computer, but you’d need an optical drive/DVD drive/CD drive. Because games were originally installed on DVD/CDs, Optic drives are rapidly becoming an obsolete piece of hardware, particularly in the context of gaming PC’s. The optical drives can be used to read and write CDs, DVDs, or Blu Ray discs. This is why there is less need for such hardware. Because we can install Operating Systems, such as Windows 10, using USB drives and the like, this is possible. With so much of our software available online or via gaming providers like Steam, an optical drive doesn’t take up any extra space in our build and budgets.

WiFi adapters, sound cards, etc

Many motherboards don’t have on-board WiFi, although some “premium” models do. An adapter for WiFi can be mounted internally via PCI slots or externally via USB ports.

Only high-end audio equipment requires sound cards. For example, if you are buying a pair of high-end audiophile headphones. Otherwise, most motherboards (if not all) will be capable of handling your audio peripherals without any problems. However, not all motherboards support 5.1/7.1 sound systems or optical audio connections.

Finally your CPU body or CPU case

Your case is the place where everything is stored. It’s also the area of your computer that everyone will see more than any other.

It’s not as easy to pick the right case as it looks. There are few things to consider before you make your final decision.

When choosing a case, airflow is a major factor to consider. Without proper airflow, your components heat up faster and don’t last as well.

You can also choose from many sizes that will accommodate different motherboard sizes. A Micro-ATX case might be sufficient for some people. Others might require more space, such as a mid-tower ATX or larger case. Pick X570 motherboard and you should also consider this as the same size, cases may not be too small or too large for your motherboard, or for what you actually need while you pick a motherboard you should match your motherboard size to your case.

You should also consider the location of your front i/o panel and the connections it provides. Consider where you will place your i/o panel. Is it more convenient to have it on the top or front of your case? Or maybe on the side? These are all options. Having the i/o panel in an awkward spot can negatively impact your experience. You will need at least two USB 3.0 (blue) ports and at most three 3.5mm audio input / mic ports for connections.

You have selected all the hardware you need for your gaming computer build. Now you have to find somewhere to store it all.

Conclusion

This article is meant to assist anyone interested in choosing the right hardware pieces for their gaming PC build. This article should give you the information and confidence to build your own Gaming PC. Once you have completed your build, your computer should last for many years. However, you can always upgrade it by adding new parts. An upgrade that is simple and quick is adding RAM or a new GPU. If you require more storage, you can easily add another hard drive. Your machine will look even more stylish with RGB lighting and fan upgrades.
