Guide to building a good PC for online and single player games

A gaming PC is an inconsistent source of comfortable gameplay, because hardware for games becomes outdated too quickly and often owners of peripherals simply do not have time to update their device more often than game developers require, increasing the load on their games.

To comfortably play r6 boosting your computer - everything is simple and applies, including newer and more powerful releases.

Frame

You need a good, modern case with good air circulation and plenty of space to put components. Bright design and color are at your personal discretion, because this is a matter of taste and, in addition, it becomes boring very quickly, and you stop paying attention to even the brightest pictures.

Motherboard

You need to equip your gaming PC with a powerful version of the motherboard that will support modern sockets for RAM, graphics card and processor.

The most popular solutions remain boards from the Asus company, which make very high-quality hardware, with which most processors, RAM boards and video cards are perfectly combined.

CPU

If we translate into human terminology, then the motherboard is the heart, and the processes are the brain of all the parts that will be combined into one system, and the main task is to select a processor that will solve your main problems.

For a gaming PC, it is better to choose mid-generation models from Intel, or Ryzen at least 5 series, and it is advisable to look towards the 7, or even 9 series of the latest 12th generation of processors.

By the way, generation also plays a significant role, since a 5th generation processor may be better than a 7th or 9th generation simply because of the difference in the total power that it is capable of delivering.

By the way, in order not to buy additional accessories later, it is better to immediately choose a processor and motherboard with support for Wi-Fi and Bluetooth.

RAM

We continue to use examples on human organs to understand the principle of distribution in the PC system.

RAM is the hands, the speed of response between wishes and impulses and the ability to actually fulfill such a request in the shortest possible time.

RAM should be at least 8 GB today, but this is already a value that comes close to the term insufficient.

Choose DDR5, this is the generation of RAM sticks that provides the highest possible response.

In terms of the importance of comfortable gaming and using a large amount of content, browser windows and other actions, it is advisable to install the brackets at 16 or 32 GB.

If possible, you need to split the planks so that they come not in one copy, but in two or more. Such formats have increased bandwidth, which means more options for overclocking.

Two 4 GB sticks of RAM will work faster than one 8 GB stick.

Video card

For games, the video adapter plays an important, and in a sense, decisive role, as it allows you to display a beautiful and high-quality picture on the screen.

Over the past year, the growth and release of new devices, as well as gradual leaps in the development of mining, have a strong impact on the price of video cards.

The new and most desirable series were the 4000th video cards - 4050, 4070, 4090. Thus displacing the 3000 series adapters.

It all depends on your budget and the level you want to achieve.

At the moment, instead of racing for an expensive, rare and physically huge 4090, you can buy the old generation 3070, which will boot your PC perfectly and at the same time will cost an order of magnitude cheaper due to the release of new options.

  • The 4000 series is about ultra settings in new games.
  • The 3000 series is about high and ultra settings.
  • 1000 series is about medium and high settings in most new games.

Power unit

Remember that with increased power, you also need appropriate equipment so that everything works correctly and stably.

There are many sites that will tell you how much total power a power supply should have to cover the consumption of new devices. Otherwise, the PC simply will not turn on.

Cooling

An interesting and open question, since there are three variations of cooling components that can be installed.

  1. Cheaper cooler - this format will differ from expensive options in noise. That is, you will remove heat quite well from the video card, motherboard and processor, but you will not have a quiet room.
  2. Expensive cooler - it will perfectly cool your parts, will have power adjustment and tint, but will also cost at least twice as much as a louder one, since it creates an atmosphere and convenience and uses other technologies to ensure silence, without using cheap parts.
  3. Water cooling is the most expensive, but at the same time silent, option for providing heat removal.

A water cooler works on the principle of two vessels, in which one part cools the liquid, and the second cools your parts. Roughly speaking, they are constantly changing, taking heat to the place of cooling, and immediately placing a new, unheated liquid in its place.

This is not a relatively new technology, but many PC builders tend not to install this type of cooling due to price and quality, which can be replaced by a good cooler.

SSD disk

A nice addition to any gaming PC is an SSD, which speeds up data processing 10 times faster than a regular hard drive.

The more powerful and expensive the SSD, the faster the system and games in general will load.

There is an SSD format that is inserted directly into the motherboard to ensure maximum data transfer speed and information processing without any restrictions.

Monitor

When the main parts in the PC have already been assembled, it is time to think about the quality of the picture output, and not just its generation, and the monitor is responsible for quality and smoothness like nothing else.

As for the type of screen, there is no point in chasing old and irrelevant, albeit cheap, formats.

Choose the IPS format, because it is the most stable and inexpensive image, which balances between OLED with its high cost and TM, with its irrelevance and distortion of color and picture quality.

As for the smoothness of picture updating, try to consider at least 120 Hz, but no more than 165. The human eye simply will not catch more, and less is no longer relevant. The times when a 60 Hz monitor was a reference are gone, and a softer and smoother picture has come in their place.

You can choose additional options and the supplier company yourself, taking into account your budget and wishes - it could be Dell with professional devices, or Asus. A good monitor has a high-quality build - some models on the market literally have edges coming off, which spoils the overall impression and makes you think about replacing it.
