System-Assemling
Course
There has never been a better time to build your own PC, but where’s the best place to start? Determining what you want to get out of your new computer is the first step and it guides the rest of the process. When you know what you want from your computer, you’ll know what you need from your hardware, which is the source of your computer’s performance. Get the most performance for less by investing in the right components from the start. That’s when you can begin to build. What do you want to build? It’s easy to get overwhelmed with all the possible variables in a PC build. Do you want to build a PC to save money? Or do you want to reach the highest levels of performance? The common thread with each of these scenarios is the hardware – the motherboard, processor (CPU), storage (hard drive or SSD), and memory (RAM). The “guts” of the computer have the most impact on your system’s performance, while the other components like the case, operating system (OS), monitor, mouse, power supply, and keyboard have a much smaller impact on how the computer runs, though they’re still important.
Who this course is for:
