PC gaming has become such a huge thing these days especially with most of the console games now available for desktops and laptops. Of course, if one wants to do gaming in his or her computer, then he or she needs to build a good gamer pc first. For those interested in doing that, here are a few steps and some tips on how to build up a great gaming computer based on specs.

Now, the very first thing that one has to take a look at is the CPU. Most games need to have a minimum of two core processors in order to run. However, one needs to take note of the requirements of the game because other games would require a higher core processor than just the usual dual core processor.

The next thing that one would need to take note of would be the definition of the game and how the processor affects it. For those who want a full HD game, the minimum specs would be a 2.5Ghz processor which is represented by the letter i and the processor number. The most powerful is an i7 processor but at the very least, an i5 processor is needed for most games in the market.

Now, the graphic card is a very important thing to think about since it is the graphic card that will determine the quality of the game. Before thinking about the graphic card though, one has to make sure that the motherboard can take in the correct graphic cards. At the very least, the motherboard must have a correct SLI slot for the NVIDIA cards or a Crossfire slot for AMD Crossfire cards so that the computer can run dual graphic cards.

Now, another thing that one would have to take note of would be the display and memory of the graphic cards. A good range for memory of a graphic card would be around 2GB to 4GB because these memories can play up to 60 or 90 frames per second. This ensures that lagging can be prevented.

Next up is the RAM which is either a DDR3 or a DDR4 as these two are the best RAMs for a gaming motherboard. Do take note that these are also the most compatible with gaming computer motherboards as well. With regard to memory, 32GB is the most recommended but 16GB will do depending on the game.

The last thing to take note of would be the hard drive. The most common type of hard drive would be the HDD which should be 7200RPM and have a cached memory of 16MB in order to take games. As for the storage size, one would want to get a size of up to 500GB for high graphics games but 250GB will suffice for lower graphics games.

For those who want to build a gaming computer, these are the basic things to think of. Now, other things to add to that would be a good monitor, a gaming mouse, a gaming keyboard, cooling fan and a joystick. Those things are not that crucial though as they can be gotten later.
