Build A Computer

Building a computer is a great way to learn how a computer is put together to work. There are many parts that go into building a computer however, its simpler than it seems. Many parts come into play when building a computer such as the motherboard, CPU, ram, hard drive type and much more. The reason its important to learn how to build a computer is for a couple of reasons, such as interest or wanting to save money on buying a pre-built one with parts you don’t want or need. Whatever the reason might be, there are a few things to know before starting a built. One of the most important things needed to build a computer is the CPU (Central Processing Unit). The CPU is part of a computer system that is mostly known as the "brains" of a computer. This will determine the overall speed of the computer which is measured in cores and clock speeds in gigahertz. The CPU is one of the most expensive thing in building …show more content…
Two of the most different kinds of storage options available as of right now, a hard disk or solid-state which uses flash memory. If you are on a budget, the cheaper option is to go with a hard disk. They are at a lower price per gigabyte than a solid-state flash memory, however there are reasons for that. Hard disks have moving parts that can easily break such as everything that moves does but still do the job. Also, your computer will not turn on as fast a solid-state drive since there is no moving parts, which isn’t always a problem but once you compare them next to each other, it’s very noticeable. Finally, an old school hard drive will also have slower read and write speeds which overall slowdown the computer. Luckily, there is a way to make the computer into a hybrid by adding both types of internal storage and getting best of both worlds. The solid-state drive can be used for the operating system, which will give it the faster boot times, and the hard disk for your
