Must Haves When Building A Gaming PC!

Must Haves When Building A Gaming PC

This post will let you all know what it takes to have THE ULTIMATE GAMING RIG. Lets check out the must haves for a gaming PC.

RAM

RAM is important when it comes to things such as video-editing, but when it comes to gaming – as long as your PC has a minimum of 4GB DDR3 – it’s not going to give a noticeable amount of improvement.

Even the speed of your RAM doesn’t have much effect when playing games, and while some believe the more GB in your machine, the more FPS you’ll get, the difference between having 4, 8, or 16GB has been proved to be negligible at best.

Gaming Keyboard

There are so many different kinds of keyboards available, it can be hard to keep track, with prices varying from the pretty cheap range all the way up to the ‘money-is-no-object’ class.

A gaming keyboard is one of those items that is very personal to the user. Do you like mechanical keyboards? If so, then which type of keys do you prefer? Are you fan of mini-displays? How many Macros, if any, do you think you’ll need? Do you want a standard or compact size?

These type of gaming keyboards can genuinely make a difference when gaming. Especially if you get one that’s tailored for a specific genre. Having a lot of macros can make a big difference when playing a RTS or MMO, while built-in displays can be helpful for shooters and RPGs.

Headphones

The importance of headphones can vary depending on what type of gamer you are. For first-person shooter buffs – especially those who enjoy online play – they can be invaluable. A good set of headphones will allow you to hear exactly where someone is in relation to your character. It’s the reason why the genre’s top E-sport players use the best available.

Solid State Drive

While it is true that a solid state drive won’t increase the frames per second of your games, what it does do, it does brilliantly: massively speeding everything up.

The difference between solid states and regular hard drives is phenomenal, as after having one for a while, you’ll start to forget what loading screens are.

Not only will one of these boot up your operating system in under half the time of a standard hard drive – allowing you to begin your gaming session quicker – but, most importantly, games will start almost instantly and the loading times between sections will become almost non-existent.

Gamepad

You can’t beat a mouse and keypad for the first-person shooter, MMO and strategy genres. There are, however, some games where using a gamepad can not only be preferable, but essential.

A great deal of modern titles are created with console controllers in mind; meaning that when they appear on the PC they can sometimes be unplayable via a mouse and keyboard. A gamepad is a required purchase for someone wanting to get the most out of their PC gaming experience.

Motherboard

Motherboards can be a tricky area. On the one hand, having a very expensive one isn’t going to improve your gaming experience over a reasonably priced version. It’s also true however, that if you want to have some absolute cutting-edge technology in your gaming PC, then a flashy motherboard is the option you should go for.

With extra ports, inputs, overlocking options (for the more technical), and the ability to connect higher end components, a MOBO can be one of the higher priorities for someone building a gaming PC, particularly those aiming for a high-end rig.

Power Supply

It may be the least glamorous part of a gaming PC, but its importance cannot be underestimated. All those components need to be powered, and if your PSU doesn’t have enough juice to do the job, then you’re not going to be playing anything.

Most high-end components require a lot of power; the best way to figure out which PSU is best for you is to use a program that works out how much your rig needs.

Processor

It seems an increasing number of games are taking advantage of the PC’s processor, with multiple cores also being utilised more often. As time goes on, we are seeing recommended specifications for new releases stating the importance of a higher-end CPU.

Assuming a game hasn’t been optimised to use it, there’s not a great deal of visual difference between a mid-range i5 processor and the top-end, extreme-edition i7 version. Like the RAM, a processor is mainly used in functions such as video-editing.

Gaming Mouse

Being a PC gamer, you need a great gaming mouse. Unless you’re playing a something that requires a gamepad, you’ll have your hand on it almost all the time, meaning it’s vital to choose one that suits you.

Ergonomic design is of the utmost importance, you don’t want your hand going into cramp after a couple of hours use. Then there’s the other factors to consider: what kind of games to you play most? There are mice made specifically for MMOs that have up to 20 separate buttons on them. Is DPI speed important to you? Some mice have the ability to alter this on the fly, meaning they’re great for sniping in first-person shooters.

Monitor

If you’ve built an insanely powerful PC, you need something to display that power. When standard HD isn’t enough – and should your rig be able to handle it – you’ve go the option of 4K or above resolutions, up to 144 frames-per-second displays, super-widescreens, and multi-monitor setups.

*Remember one thing. Connect more than one monitor to thr CPU requires extra graphics cards.

Graphics Card

If you want the most beautiful, the smoothest, and the absolutely eye-popping best gaming experience available, then nothing’s more important in your gaming rig than your graphics card.

GFX cards range from the ‘budget’ entries which, although cheap, can still come close to matching next-gen consoles graphically, all the way through to the top-of-the-range gigantic beasts that can hit resolutions above 4K, and whose prices go into four-figures.

Spend as much money as you can on your gfx card, no other components (within reason) can bottleneck its performance enough make a difference. They are the main power behind PC gaming, and as they become even more advanced – and more people build their own rigs – the PC will increase in popularity as a gaming platform.

Thanks for viewing my post.I will try bringing such stuff.

You all can message me on google+ is case of any doubt.

Thanks Again! :D
