Computer Buying Guide – PC Buying Guide
Choosing a computer can be very hard if you don’t know what to look for. You’ll be spending the money that you don’t have or you’ll be getting less-than-average PC if you don’t know what to look for. In this guide, a brief explanation will be given in order to guide you before buying your first PC.
1. The Purpose
When choosing a computer, always keep in mind the purpose of buying it. Is it for gaming? Is it for simple e-mailing? Mobility? If you want a good gaming PC, you will need a medium to high-end spec PC and it can be costly. If it’s just for simple document typing, you’ll not be spending that much. Mobility? A laptop with low-spec is enough for u if you just want to do e-mailing, word processing or Web.
2. Processor
The processor is one of the hardware needed in order for the computer to work. It can execute programs and the faster the speed, the faster it can process a program. If you’re looking for a gaming PC, look for a faster processor. But if you just need a PC for doing e-mail, word processing or the Web, average speed processor is enough.
3. RAM
Random Access Memory (RAM) is used for the programs as a temporary storage space so it’ll be faster for them to access the memory in any order. So, the bigger the space, the better. However, keep in mind that the RAM speed is also important. For example, 4GB 1066MHz is better than 4GB 800MHz. For a gaming PC, you’ll need a higher amount of RAM with a good clock rate or speed.
4. Graphic Card
For gamers, a good graphic card is crucial in order for you to play the latest games. A dedicated graphic card with a dedicated memory works better than an integrated graphic card with shared memory. Now you can even find a graphic card with a DDR5 memory. However, the important thing to look for when buying a graphic card is the GPU (Graphic Processing Unit) clock rate. The faster the GPU, the better the graphic card for gaming.
But if you use the computer primarily for e-mail, word processing or web, an integrated graphic card is enough.
5. Operating System
Operating system also plays an important part. A 32-bit operating system is enough for entry-level and light computer usage. Nowadays, people will usually go for Windows 7. For gamers, upgrading to 64-bit is a better option as you can install higher RAM and therefore, will make the performance better.
There are other criteria that you need to consider before choosing a computer. But these 4 are enough to make your decision before buying it.

All the Pain Money Can Buy $4.63 On this second album, these rockers from Austin, Texas, demonstrate a flair for perfect mid-’60s pop epitomized by the Kinks and the early Who. The opening track, “The Way,” was an early break-out hit for the trio, but the entire album offers similarly uptempo serenades. It’s a surprising direction for a band known for its hard-rocking live sets, but an early clue of their fondness for romantic ho… |
