 How To Build A Gaming PCIf one wants to use computers for the gaming purpose only, making less expensive computers seems to be the best option available to such game admirers. One need not buy or make an high-end computer just to enjoy the gaming and the games. Making a mid-stream gaming PC will not cost more than the half of the cost of the high-end computers. There are several computer stores offer such cost effective computer kits that are exclusive for the purpose of gaming.

 While selecting the PC kits for the purpose of gaming many people think the importance of the processor or some of the graphic cards. While buying the gaming rig one needs to focus on investing a good money on the Power Supply Unit which is commonly called as PSU in the technical parlance. The PSU used in the other generic products are not highly reliable and always provide inadequate power to the internal circuits of the computers. With such inadequate power the PC many not function properly and will have more down time, which will create a flutter in the minds of the active gamers. Such weak PSUs may not fight the heat battle which generally dominates all electronic products around the world. In order to make out a full potential to the gaming rig it is mandatory to buy a high quality and high power rated PSU to avoid frequent breakdowns.

 Next vital point is the selection of the processor for the self-made computers. As the modern games cannot use more than 2CPUs, selection of 2 CPUs seems to be an ideal choice.  Usage of 4 CPUs may be avoided which is considered to be highly expensive. A simple analogy can be stated here in order to explain this particular point of selecting a high-end processor. A PC gaming is like riding a bicycle on a down hill. One need not have a geared cycle for the purpose of going down the hill and in similar way one need not use the complex 4CPUs while assembling gaming PCs.

 Selection of RAM (Random Access Memory) is considered to be an important factor while making the PCs for the purpose of gaming. It is here all the game files are needed to run in the entire computer system. Hence one should go in for a higher RAM in order to have a smooth game. For a normal game rig, a normal 2GB RAM is well sufficient to run all the modern games.

 When it comes to graphic cards a good quality card will do to produce graphics in the games. Last but not the least; a good Operating System is mandatory while making the PCs at home. The latest Microsoft Version 7 is recommended for the purpose of stability and performance of the games.

 Undoubtedly the matter of cost efficiency seems to be advantage of building a game PC at home.

Build a killer gaming PC in under $1,000 - PART 3

MOTHERBOARD: ASUS P8P67 PRO REV 3.1 ($144.99) If you’re going to pursue the path of the overclocker, it’s of paramount importance that you find a motherboard that can withstand the additional stresses your sped-up CPU will inflict upon it. Asus’s P8P67 Pro is an established champ in that category, with the company also providing a handy and comprehensive overclocking guide over on the Hard Forum. The P67 chipset is Intel’s performance-oriented setup and Asus outfits it with all the extras you’ll need: four 6Gbps SATA connections, four USB 3.0 jacks, Bluetooth 2.1, 8-channel audio, and support for dual-card graphics solutions such as Nvidia's SLI or AMD's CrossFire. In place of the old school BIOS, you get the fresh and new Unified Extensible Firmware Interface, which performs all the roles of a BIOS, but does it with a much friendlier graphical UI that also lets you use your mouse. Asus also throws in a heap of power-tweaking options and fail-safes to prevent yo

MEMORY: 8GB CORSAIR VENGEANCE CL9 DDR3-1600 RAM ($44.99) Memory is dirt cheap these days, so you could easily push this boat out to 16GB without bankrupting yourself, but 8GB is sufficient for most tasks. Corsair is a memory maker we’ve used and trusted for a long time and its new Vengeance 8GB kit has proven to be as stable and reliable as the company’s reputation would lead you to expect. Points may be added or taken away for the macho look of the heat spreader, depending on your preference. A good alternative here is the G.Skill Ripjaws set of two 4GB DDR3-1600 sticks. By the way, don’t bother spending extra for faster memory (DDR3-1866) or tighter timings (CL8 or CL7). AnandTech performed a study recently that showed anything over DDR3-1333 was overkill for Sandy Bridge CPUs. We’ve opted for DDR3-1600 because it costs practically the same as the lower-specced stuff. STORAGE: SAMSUNG 64GB SSD 830 ($94.99) + WD CAVIAR BLUE 500GB 7200RPM HDD ($99.99) Hard drives would

CPU: INTEL CORE I5-2500K ($209.99) When processor price wars happen, they typically take place at or around the $200 mark. It's the sweet spot for consumers on a tight budget, mostly because it tends to be populated by high-end CPU architectures with a little less power than the $300 to $600 flagship models. The i5-2500K is just such a chip, and it has quickly developed a reputation as the best value Sandy Bridge processor. In its stock configuration, it runs four cores at 3.3GHz each, but the heart of its widespread appeal is in this CPU’s ability to operate at speeds of 4GHz and above. The K in the model number denotes the unlocked multiplier on the 2500K, which will allow you to overclock it to your heart’s content (or, more realistically, as far as your cooling will allow). If you have extra room in your budget, you can step up to the Core i7-2600K ($320), which adds some extra cache (super fast on-chip memory), accelerates the stock speed, and seems to have a
