Reason why you may want a Custom PC
by Dan Ashton
We all use our computers for different reason. Some for
professional purposes, some of us have hobbies that we carry
out online, many are serious gamers. Just a few reasons why
the average PC may not be quite up to scratch. A custom
built PC gives you the power to take control over how
effective your computer is in carrying out what YOU need it
to.
When you buy a custom built computer, on the other hand, you
can carefully pick out the best hardware and software for
your specific purpose. You'll end up with a computer better
suited to your needs, and often cheaper than a store-bought
PC. Here's some examples of people with special hardware
needs:
The Gamer. New video games constantly push the limits of
what PCs can handle. Buying a store-bought PC fast enough to
run the newest games basically means having to buy the most
powerful and expensive one available. Consequently, lots of
hard-core video gamers have custom-built computers designed
to run games at optimal efficiency (and often at a cheaper
price tag).
Gamers love speed. They seek out motherboards with fast
system buses and forward compatibility (upgrading the CPU
and RAM as newer, faster models become available). They
stuff that motherboard with the fastest processor they can
find and all the memory they can squeeze into it. After
that, a powerful video card with its own graphics processor
is crucial to make full use of the game's realistic visual
effects. Those are the essentials, but nice speakers and two
big monitors never hurt.
The Laptop DJ. Mixing your own music is increasingly
popular, and a custom-built computer designed for audio
engineering will perform better than store-bought,
general-use machines. Like gaming PCs, a fast motherboard
with a powerful processor and lots of memory is a good
starting place. If you're on a budget, give memory higher
priority. Next, a high quality speaker system is essential.
The dinky speakers bundled with store-bought computers are
inadequate for audio engineers, who need to hear subtle
nuances in music on multiple tracks. At the very least,
you'd want speaker systems with a subwoofer. At the other
end of spectrum are high quality 5-point surround-sound
speakers. Finally, to take full advantage of your awesome
new speakers, you'll need a powerful audio card.
The Armchair Editor. If you plan to make movies on your PC,
once again a custom-built computer gets you the most bang
for your buck. Video editing and video game computers share
a lot of hardware requirements, but with a different
emphasis. If video gamers love speed, video editors love
storage.
For a motherboard, inexpensive solutions usually have more
built-in options directly on the motherboard, such as
graphics and audio support. What this means is that it can
be more difficult to upgrade in the future. Whilst they may
be cheaper now, to keep pace with technological developments
it is important that right from the outset you have the
right motherboard. Generally you won't have a choice of a
motherboard in a standard system.
Just three reasons why a custom built computer is superior,
even necessary for some. Something to think about if you're
planning a new purchase. - 15668
