Assembling a computer is no longer an unfathomable thing, and many friends can assemble computers by themselves. After all, there is basically no technical difficulty in assembling this kind of thing, as long as you have strong hands-on ability and look at the relevant information, you can easily assemble the computer by yourself. However, for those who are new to building computers, they will still face some difficult choices, the most common of which is that when the budget is insufficient, they don't know how to choose a graphics card and CPU. I'm going to talk to you about that today.
In fact, we need to analyze this problem from the following aspects, because different groups of people have different needs for computers, and naturally the focus of hardware selection is also different. Below I will give you a little advice for different uses.
First, focus on games
First of all, let's talk about how to choose the CPU and graphics card for this gaming computer, in fact, for the gaming computer, he needs to meet three elements. Unilaterally, a good performance of an accessory cannot achieve the desired effect. Gaming PCs require a good CPU, a high-performance graphics card, and a large enough memory. These three hardware indicators must be met, and it is difficult for any accessory to shrink to meet the needs of games. In this case, what should we do if the budget is insufficient?
For the lack of budget for game computers, the first thing we have to do is to look at the hardware needs of the game itself, because the hardware needs of different games are also different, which is like lol and PUBG, although they are both games, but their requirements for computer configuration are completely different. So the first thing to do is to look at the computer configuration requirements of your game. Generally speaking, this game** will give a recommended configuration, everyone pay attention to it. Here you must pay attention to the fact that many game official websites will give three configurations, that is, the minimum configuration, the recommended configuration and the high configuration, we directly ignore the minimum configuration, because the minimum configuration can only mean that the game can be played, and he has no way to ensure that the game is not stuck. Therefore, it is recommended to choose the recommended configuration scheme.
After determining the game's needs for graphics cards, memory and CPU, and then look at how much your budget is different, if the budget is too poor, then we can focus on meeting the needs of CPU and graphics card first, because these two accessories are relatively higher, and the cost of upgrading in the later stage is too large, while the memory module can be upgraded in the later stage. If you don't even have the budget for a graphics card and CPU, then focus on meeting the CPU needs first, after all, the CPU is related to the operation of the entire computer. If the CPU is too bad, no matter how good your graphics card is, it is equal to zero, so the CPU must be met first, as for the graphics card part, you can either choose a processor with a core graphics card to stick to it, and wait for enough money to buy a graphics card that meets the needs of the game, or to buy a second-hand graphics card that can be used.
Everyone remembers that when the budget is insufficient, when choosing a game graphics card, you must not lower the grade of the graphics card, which can only make you gain more than you lose, many people have to lower the graphics card standard because of the low budget, in fact, this operation is wrong, for the game computer, when the CPU meets the requirements, the graphics card is the key configuration that determines the game experience, and the graphics card must not compromise if you want to have a good game experience. Falling for the next best thing will only degrade your gaming experience, and in the end, the money will be spent, and the gaming experience will not be at all. The end result is to continue to spend money on upgrading graphics cards, so why bother? So if the budget is really not enough, I suggest that everyone still give priority to the CPU, if you can't even meet the budget of the CPU, then don't buy it and save money quickly, and buy it when the money is enough.
Second, work computers
For this work computer, it is roughly divided into two situations, one is a pure office computer, that is, it usually does **, typing files, writing ppt, and estimating the most work such as ps. For this part of the user, we focus on CPU and memory when assembling the computer, because the CPU directly affects work efficiency, and too small memory may lead to insufficient memory. Therefore, many companies will choose the CPU with core graphics solution when assembling computers, generally speaking, for pure office computers, Intel's i3 processor with core graphics is enough.
The other is for high-intensity and high-computing work, we have to choose a better processor, as for the graphics card is enough, such as post-production, conversion, rendering, modeling, decompression of data packets, for these uses give priority to the CPU. However, for professional graphic design, then the graphics card should not be too bad, and here everyone should pay attention to the fact that there is a difference between a professional graphics card and a gaming graphics card. We must figure out our own use, because the game graphics card is not suitable for professional drawing, and the graphics card is not suitable for the game, the choice of good things is twice the result with half the effort, and the choice is not good, it is possible that the money is spent and the efficiency is not improved.
Final Summary:
If we don't have enough budget to install a computer, we need to prioritize accessories that are not easy to replace according to our own use, and if we follow the order, I think the CPU is the first to consider, then the graphics card, and finally the memory module. However, it depends on the actual situation, because the current CPU performance is very good, once the processor reaches the 13th generation i5 or above, then we can add the excess budget to the graphics card or memory according to our actual use. However, let's not ignore a problem here, that is, the reserved space for power supply, if we consider upgrading the graphics card or CPU to the computer in the later stage, then we need to leave enough power supply, otherwise the later hardware upgrade may cause insufficient power supply. In fact, I personally recommend that when you assemble a computer, try to meet the needs at one time, if the budget is not big enough, move the bricks a few more times, and then install it when the budget is enough. In many cases, it is not an ideal solution to settle for the next best, so I don't know what my friends think about it?
