Things to consider on buying a pc

Nowadays, many of us were into "tekki" syndrome. Because of rampant evolution of technology, we became conscious for having the latest innovations such as cellphones,ipod,p.c.,laptop,and other gadgets. The most common to those was computers,personal computers. Computers were seen everywhere and anywhere in the world. It was the best access in the world of technology. Let me give some tips and pointers to consider on buying a pc......

When buying a pc, you must first set a budget for that. Typical amount ranges from P15,000 to P25,000 depending on what specs you want to have, if its for gaming, educational or business matters. Once you have figured it out, now its time to canvass the parts. Some buyers prefer to buy a pc in a package deal simply because it saves time and money. But for some buyers like me, buying parts per parts to be assembled is a good choice. In a package deal, pc parts were already fixed and installed unless you want to change it, another charge is next to be paid off. While in assembled parts basis, you have the choice on what kind and how much you want to assemble. You can also budget your money that will suit for your prospected pc.
As always, computers rely to its c.p.u(Central Processing Unit) as it was said, it was the heart of computer so we must focus the parts inside of the cpu.

Motherboard - sometimes alternatively known as the mainboard,system board or casually shortened as mobo. Different sockets and pheriperals were installed to it for different functions and purposes to run a computer. highly recommended motherboards whose brands were MSI and ASUS.

Processor - it is the logic circuitry that responds ro and processes the basic instructions that drive a computer. Intel processors are the most popular and highly recommended especially the latest ones.

Video card- also known as a graphics accelerator card, display adapter, or graphics card, is a hardware component whose function is to generate and output images to a display. It operates on similar principles as a sound card or other peripheral devices. The higher specs of video card, the better performances for image display and fine definition. I highly recommend ati radeon or ge force for video cards.


Hard disk (HDD) -commonly referred to as a hard drive, hard disk, or fixed disk drive, is a non volatile storage device which stores digitally encoded data on rapidly rotating platters with magnetic surfaces. It stores all data and files of the computer. Hard disks vary from different capacity or space. The bigger capacity the better storage and performance. Usually hard disks can store up to hundred of gigabyte (GB) specifically 120-160GB with 7200 rpm(rounds per minute). Seagate is the most common hard disk here but you can also try Samsung and Western Digital.
Memory Modules (RAM)- is a class of memory integrated circuit used in computers. allow the stored data to be accessed in any order. There are many types of memory modules such as sd,ddr,ddr2,ddr3 etc. And it also have different caacities that ranges to MB to GB. The higher memory, the better performance.

These are only some of the basic parts you must have for assembling a cpu. Now you can choose different styles of cpu cases. Some cpu cases have already power supply installed. you need to choose some with power supply installed to save your budget. But you can also buy a separate power supply (atx) if you want.


Once you have set your cpu, next stuff is to choose your monitor and other parts like mouse keyboards, speakers, printers and others





Monitors can be in crt and lcd type it depends to you what kind of monitors will you choose that suits to your budget. I recommend LG and DELL monitors.



Mouse is a pointing device that functions by detecting two-dimensional motion relative to its supporting surface. Common of this device was a scroll mouse with a small ball beneath it's surface. Now there are high-end mouse in the market like optical mouse, wireless and laser mouse.


Keyboard-it is an input device that has a set of typewriter-like keys that enables you to enter data into a computer. Computer keyboards are similar to electric-typewriter keyboards but contain additional keys.

Speakers- For those who are music lovers i recommend altec-lansing and creative speakers but you can buy also generic ones.


These are some ideas and tips on how to buy a computer and i hope it will be a help to all who want to own a personal computer.......
