OK. It’s time to get going. Your perfect PC is just six simple steps away.

The core components are the building blocks of your system. Mostly, they control the speed your PC operates at. Apart from the case, of course, which just makes it look cool.

Computer Case

Help

There are two areas to think about here, practical and technical. The practical issues are how it looks, (colour, style, finish/shine, side windows and internal lighting) and whether it will fit under your desk. Technical issues include the size, heat and power issues. Economy cases disperse heat through the PSU which can get noisy, better cases have more but quieter fans, more internal space for better air flow and more room for future upgrades.

CPU

Help

Processor or CPU manufacturers are constantly trying to beat each other’s products so new faster products are being announced all the time. You need to consider what you want to use the computer for and how long you want to keep it. If you want high performance for gaming and video editing go for the top of the range. For home and office use, choose a mid-range processor type and don’t go for the slowest edition.
