Build Your Own Computer
When building a computer, it is essential to get all the parts correct as it is like a jigsaw, you cannot force one part to go with another. RAM is a main part of a computer as it stores the temporary data on your computer, e.g. if your writing a word document and the power cuts out without you saving your work, the temporary data is wiped clean and you will have to start all over again. RAM is like a smaller hard drive that only stores data temporarily.
The more RAM you have the more temporary data can be stored as some games require you have a certain amount so it can store temporary data for the game to function correctly. RAM is good in masses of amounts but can cost a lot. These days if you want about 2GB RAM it will cost you around 50.00GBP you can probably find cheaper by searching the Internet. CD, DVD Drives? These are essential to any computer as mainly DVDs are used to store masses of data like, programs, games and so on. But as always these drives might need to be changed as technology improves, so does new ways of storing data like Blu-ray (Blu-ray can store masses of data but Blu-ray drives can cost a lot to be put in your computer). DVD drives can be bought external so there is no need to have it built in, even though it is better have it built in, instead of having more wires.
Overall a DVD Drive is a must have. Graphic cards are getting bigger now as games require more realistic graphics so does the strain on your graphic cards performance. If your card is not good enough you might lose some of the feeling for the game or it might be "blocky" (not well textured and is not well detailed). If you're trying to make a gaming PC, then a graphic card is a needed component. Motherboard, as you can probably tell, is the main part of the computer. This is where the other parts of the computer connect and make the computer function correctly... more>>>
