For many users, it is enough that games play smoothly, the game world is displayed correctly and there are no control problems. Professional gamers (who make money from gaming) and those who spend a significant part of their leisure time playing games have more stringent requirements for PC performance. This material will tell you how to assemble a gaming PC with your own hands with assistance of Part Picker.
Processor:-
Intel processors have always been strong in their single-threaded performance, while AMD has outnumbered them in multi-threaded operations. And that is why many gamers often opted for Intel, while professionals preferred to use AMD processors. But recently, this choice has ceased to be so obvious.
Now we are more likely to be guided by the possibility of using integrated or discrete graphics. If you have the option of buying a graphics card, we recommend you take a closer look at the Intel Core i5-11400F. In our opinion, it is the best mid-range gaming processor.
Motherboard:-
The choice of motherboard directly depends on which processor you decide to use. For Intel Core i5-11400F, we recommend ASRock B560 Pro4 motherboard based on B560 chipset. In the case of the AMD Ryzen 5 3400G, consider the much cheaper GIGABYTE B450M DS3H V2.
Intel Core i5-11400F has no over-clocking capability, so it is absolutely pointless to overpay for this option when buying a motherboard. However, despite the lack of over-clocking capability, the ASRock B560 Pro4 comes with an additional heatsink, three M.2 ports and four RAM slots.
As for the GIGABYTE B450M DS3H V2, there is an excellent over-clocking potential of the memory and processor, and a PCIe 4 slot, and four RAM slots, and even a radiator on the VRM mosfets.
RAM:-
When buying any RAM, always try to opt for RAM kits that are guaranteed to be able to work in 2-channel mode. This is especially important when it comes to embedded graphics. In our case, we recommend using HyperX Fury 8GB (4GBx2) 2400MHz CL15 RAM.
On the one hand, this is a compromise solution; many games may lack 8 GB of RAM. But keep in mind that your motherboard has four RAM slots, and in the future you can at least double its capacity. As for the set we have proposed, it operates at the nominal frequency of 2400 MHz, but if desired, it can well be over-clocked to 3200 MHz This is quite enough for our assembly, and the price of the kit is very affordable.
Computer Cases:-
Computer cases have long ceased to be boring metal boxes for storing components. Now you can find multifunctional solutions with an interesting design at an affordable price. One of them is the Zalman S2 Black case, which has received a lot of positive reviews.
The great demand for this model is due to its amazing characteristics. This is a spacious case that allows you to install a processor cooler up to 156 mm in height and a video card up to 330 mm in length. A standard fan is provided on the rear wall of the case; there are also 5 additional seats for turntables in it. In the case, the lower mount for the power supply is meant, and 5 storage media will fit inside.
