If you're a gamer, chances are you've considered building a computer. But it remains true that the daunting process of saving your parents money while keeping performance drives most people away, and they end up just sticking with a pre-made one or laptop. It also remains true that the process of putting everything together scares people away. I have written this post to help you, so you too don't have to join the small community of laptop gamers.
Parts: The first thing you need to consider are the parts that are going to go in your computer. I have compiled a list of products you need based off of the games you might want to play. High end games (Player Unknown's BG) : Graphics: GTX 1050 CPU: Intel core i3-8100 Coffee lake Motherboard: Asus ROG strix b250h RAM: Corsair Vengence 16 Gb Kit Mid-range games (CS:GO) Graphics: GTX 960ti CPU: Intel core i5 7400 Kaby Lake Motherboard: Asus TUF Z270 mark 2 RAM: Corsair Vengence 8 Gb Kit Low end games (Sandbox games, tycoons, small FPS etc.) : Graphics: GTX 760 CPU: AMD athlon x4 760k Motherboard: Asus A55BM-E RAM: Any 4 or 8 Gb Kit I hope this guide helped. There are build guides all over the internet that can help you build your own computer.

A lot of people discover problems with their computers everyday/ We need them to be fast, and run correctly. If computers aren't fast, or don't correctly, you might experience issues with everyday. A lot of people like me, the computer savvy tech-people run into these problems. Its not like we just "magically" know what's wrong. We have to go through a process called "troubleshooting." Troubleshooting is a process where a person goes through a list of potential problems and tests to see if that's the cause. In this post, I will go through the process of troubleshooting.
A lot of people experience slow computes, and I have even seen computers so slow they can't function. This is typically a hard drive problem. Now I know we have all thought, "Oh, my computer is slow, I must have a virus!" Now this can sometimes be the cause, but I'll get to that later. Actually, it's most likely your hard drive. The drive store every little bit of information on your computer, and when there's a problem with it, the computer slows when opening programs, or going through menus and so forth. I have another blog post here that you can use. If you've spilled water on it, or it's just old, replacing it will do the job. Other times it can be your processor, and if that's the case, unless you have a desktop, you'll need a new PC. However, it's highly unlikely your processor is the cause, and if it were, it would have to be very old Basically, if your computer is experiencing problems, just do some research, and some testing, and you should be able to fix it. Computer operating systems (not mac OS) are made to be easy to use, and easy to fix. Computer manufacturers also make the hardware easy to upgrade or use (once again, not apple). I hoped this was very helpful and made your problems easier to solve. Adding replacing RAM is another simple upgrade or fix you can make to your computer. These simple steps will tell you the easy process of upgrading your RAM, so your computer can run just a little faster.
It depends on whether you have a laptop or a desktop, but the easiest is a desktop. You should be able to just take the cover off and put the new ram in. In some desktops, specifically the ones made by big companies, require a key to open. Others don't. If you have a laptop, the process is a little harder, but is still very doable. Older laptops have an easy repair door that you can unscrew to fix or replace the everyday stuff, but chance are if you have a newer laptop you wont have one of those. Replacing a hard drive, although seemingly daunting, is actually a simple process. In this easy blog, I will tell you how you can replace your hard drive at home, so you don't have to worry about those over-priced computer stores. Firstly, you need to turn over your computer so you can see the bottom. Different computers have different screws and setups, but you should be able to figure it out. The next thing you need to do is unscrew the cover. Older computers might have an easy-access repair window that you can open, but most do not. Once you've removed the cover you need to locate the hard drive. A hard drive is the rectangle-shaped part that stores memory. If you have an HDD, a hard disk drive, you should see a silver circle. If your hard drive is and SSD or solid state drive, you shouldn't see anything. Once you've located your drive, you can unscrew it. Some drives have plastic or metal covers that you may need to remove, and others don't. If yours has a cover, remove it and place it on the other drive. Once you've removed the drive, the simple part is putting everything back together. Just simply place and screw the drive in, and screw you cover back on. Now you have successfully replaced your computers hard drive! I hoped this helped a lot. If you have any questions, please comment down below. |
