Building your perfect pc, for you.

Well first off we need to find out what you’re likely to use your pc for lots of people I find just say “hmm I just want to use word”, but they don’t really take into account about their kids they might want to play games, or do some graphic editing.

So once you’re sure you can get started, for word processing you only need a very basic machine that can run something like Microsoft XP, I’ve found the best spec for word processing is

Processor speed: 1 GHz – 1.8 GHz

RAM: 256mb’s

Graphics card: 128mb’s

I actually have a 1 GHz machine that is brilliant for using word or excel and also a 1.8 which I can’t really see the difference in until hitting the games, which the 1.8 is slightly better.

Now for your graphics editing machine, here you will find a lot of company’s using Mac pc’s because they allow you to get the most out of a machine, using less resources and they are based around UNIX, well as you might no they can put holes in your wallets, so here is a spec I recommend if building your own pc.

Processor speed: 2 GHz – 3 GHz

RAM: 2 GB’s

Graphics card: 512mb’s

Operating system: Mac OS X

After searching the internet for a while you will be able to build one of these machines much cheaper that just buying them from apple.

The best of all professional gaming pc’s. Here you need a get good performance pc the bigger the spec the better your gaming experience, so here is my recommended spec.

Processor speed: 3 GHz +

RAM: 4 GB’s

Graphics card: 512mb’s

I haven’t found much difference running them on different operating systems but for ease of use I would say get Windows XP.
