Cheap Computer System - Selection Guide


Google

A cheap computer system can be of high quality.

Taking the time to evaluate your needs before making your final selection will save you both money and regrets in the long run.

Before buying, it is very important that you familiarize yourself with some basic knowledge of the parts that a computer consists of and the function of each of the component.

This knowledge will help you to decide on the components that you will need and, therefore, get the computer that is right for you. Click here to learn about computer parts and their functions.

Do not 'cut corners' on your main system units such as your motherboard, processor, memory and hard drive.

You would not want to be running out of memory or disk space shortly after purchasing a complete computer system or building your own!

Delay the buying of some of the software applications that are not critical for you to get now until at a later date. You might want to be using this computer for a few years; therefore, you should ensure that it has future upgradability by purchasing the proper motherboard.

A computer must have an operating system (OS) installed since it enables the computer to perform its tasks. A computer is useless without an operating system.

Computers are usually sold with an OS pre-loaded; the most popular of which is the Microsoft Windows family. There are other operating systems such as Mac OS X and various distributions of Linux.

Listed below are three categories of computers:

Basic:
This computer would be used by someone who sends and receives email, surfs the Internet, uses word processing, prepares spreadsheets and plays simple games.

Minimum Requirements: 1.6GHz AMD or Intel processor, 2GB DDR or DDR2 RAM (memory), 250GB SATA, 7200 RPM, 16MB cache hard drive, on-board video, audio and LAN and a DVD burner.

Mid Range:
In addition to the basic needs, this range is suitable for someone who is involved in medium graphics, some video editing, downloading music and video and playing games, etc.

High Range:
This computer is suitable for intensive graphics, video editing, extreme gaming and other memory and CPU intensive programs.

You might now be asking: 'Where do I buy my computer'?
