Tips for building a computer!

A few months ago i set out on a venture to build a computer. Ive done some research on it in the past and decided that it was not going to be that hard to do. Well when tax return money came in i went to Frys. Here are a few tips that might help you when building a new computer. This information is meant mostly for those that have a little knowledge on computers but not experts.

1. Do your homework on what you want out of your system. If you want an awesome gaming machine or just a home pc, make sure that you know what you want before buying the parts.

2. Have a budget set do not go in thinking that you are going to be frugal because it is much more tempting to buy the best when each upgrade only cost 5 or 10 dollars more.

3. Go online and find reviews of the products that are suitable to you. look and see what people are saying about different parts. Sometimes the most expensive parts actually have more problems than the more reasonable parts and when you buy something you want to make sure that it is not just going to crap out on you in a little bit of time. I made this mistake on the computer that i recently built and didnt look up reviews on the power supply and it ended up crapping out about 7 months afterwards. Leaving me to buy a new one dropping about 200 dollars, which as you can imagine is no good.

4. A lot of the people at places like Frys or Best Buy know what they are talking about but not all of them. Be very careful on what you take as good information, especially when they work off commission. This can lead them to tell you stuff that they are not sure about to make the extra money off the sells. However if you make a list of the parts and dont just go up there expecting to get all the pieces to build your pc off their knowledge then you should be ok. just stick to you guns and look up reviews like your spending millions!
