Here I give some tips on how you can choose appropriate parts yourself when you going to buy a new computer-

At first select a shop that have a god reputation on market for good service to customer.

Open/used hardware’s are often sales on market. Be aware of this, don’t buy those hardware’s and take a look those hardware are intake or not. If you are not expert, buy- Processor, Main board, RAM, ODD, Casing from same shop. They will configure those properly. Here I indicate some facts you must look-up-

Processor :

-It is the main parts of computer. At this time processor of two brands are available. Intel and AMD. Both are good. But Intel processor is more advance in popularity and technology. Try to buy a latest version of processor. The most recent version of Intel processor is- Intel Core i7.

-Take a look of what is the clock speed of processor. As much clock speed, so much your computer will speed.

-Take a look of what is the serious of processor. As much upgrade series, so much speed and performance you will get. Depend on your budget and needs choose as updated as you can.

 Here is the series-

Pentium < Celeron < Core < Core i.

Again, Pentium 1 < Pentium 2 < Pentium 3 < Pentium 4 < Dual Core < Core 2 Duo <  Core 2 Quad < Core i3 < Core i5 < Core i7 < Core i7 extreme.

-Look what is the core and thread number. You will get better performance if the number of core and thread is more. There are maximum 6 core’s processors are available at this time.

-Be look what is the Cache Memory. More Cache Memory perform more speed. The latest type of Cache memory is L3 Cache Memory.

-Hyper threading is available or not, that is a fact. This technology perform multitask with more performance.

-For Intel processor, try to buy processor with Turbo Boost Technology.

 

Main board / Motherboard :

This is the board in where all hardware’s are connected.

-Top brands of motherboard are- Intel, Gigabyte, Asus etc.

-Try to buy latest model.

Casing:

Casing is the body, where all hardware is to be arranged. Price of casing is varies depend on Watt of Power Supply Unit (PSU). You should choose PSU watt according to your needs. Such as if you have big monitor and more graphics, you have to buy casing with more watt PSU. Just look up that, there is enough ventilation system for transfer heated air to outside and keep inside of casing cool.
