Building my PC – Recommendations.
Configuring your PC's hardware
We help you define a composition that suits your needs
Throughout this article we are going to recommend which pieces of hardware you should choose.
Going through processors, RAM memories, graphic cards, power supplies.
Depending on the computer, among other peripherals that will make the configuration of the hardware of your PC is perfect.
Let's get started:
Building my PC – Setting up your PC's hardware perfectly based on the use you will give it
There are different components internal components that a computer uses to function. The most relevant and necessary ones are the following:
- Processors: They are responsible for performing calculations at high speeds. They represent the “brain” of a computer.
- RAM memories: RAM memory functions as temporary storage for files and settings for each application that is being used at a given time. When the computer is turned off, the RAM memory remains empty.
- Hard drives: Hard drives store operating system files, the files that make programs work.
- Power sources: Power supplies, as the name suggests, provide power to the PC components.
- Motherboard: Also known as “motherboard”, “motherboard” or “MoBo”, it is a board where the other components mentioned above are assembled.
- Graphic card: is a memory dedicated exclusively to improving the graphics of our computer. It makes playing and designing on the computer possible.
Knowing a little about these components, we will now know which ones we should choose for each use case, among which we will evaluate the:
Computers for study
Computers for multimedia design.
Let's find the best configuration of hardware for your PC:
Building my PC – Computers for studies
These DeskTop necesitan las siguientes características para funcionar correctamente, pero recuerda que puedes usar perfectamente cualquier hardware equivalent of another brand or model:
- Processor for a computer of study:
- A processor like the Intel Core i3 will do all the work (and even more) that you need for a studio rig intended for Internet use, office suites like Microsoft Office.
- RAM for a study PC:
- Because it will not run applications especially “heavy” ones, 4 GB of RAM will be enough to work perfectly on a computer intended for studies.
- Hard drives:
- A hard disk 500GB will be more than enough for an everyday PC where you study, store videos, songs and images from the Internet.
- Power supply for a studio computer:
- A computer of this type does not need a large amount of power, a 500 watt supply will be enough to power the entire configuration. hardware from the computer.
- Motherboard:
- There are several economical options on the market that can cost around $8,000.00 in exchange for a great performance for studio PC.
- Graphic card:
- Study computers do not have to have a memory card. graphics since the integrated graphics in the processor that we recommended at the beginning will cover this need.

Building my PC – Computers for gamers and multimedia design
Computers that are used both for gaming and for designing different multimedia elements have one thing in common: they are highly demanding, but don't worry, we will recommend the best one for you. your hardware configuration PC gamer or for design, but you should know that such a computer can be somewhat expensive:
- Processor for PC gamer / design: The number of calculations per second is vital in processors of this type.
A processor that is up to the task in these cases is the Intel Core i5 or i7, with plenty of cores and the possibility of being accelerated (overclocking) in case any application requires extra processing power.
- RAM: You will need to purchase at least a couple of RAM sticks 8GB each to be completely sure that it can run any demanding game or application that is used today, that is, about 16GB in RAM.
- Hard drives for a designer or gaming PC: In this case, we recommend that you have two hard drives with good capacity. One, where the operating system and the design-related programs will be installed, can be 1 TB, and another where the games and “heavy” multimedia files will be stored. It would also be advisable for it to be 1 TB.
- Power supply for a gaming PC and design: The source should not fall short of such requirements of the components of hardware for a computer with these characteristics, so we recommend one of 850 watts.
- Motherboard: The motherboard must be compatible with all of the components mentioned above, but it must also allow heat to dissipate efficiently. This is without even considering compatibility with the large amount of RAM to be installed.
- Graphic card: It is undoubtedly one of the components that generates mixed opinions among fans of the gaming and multimedia design. In this case we will recommend the best graphics card in our opinion considering the cost-performance ratio. 8 GB of VRAM may be more than enough.
The conclusion
A computer for study and everyday use does not require very powerful hardware features, but it is easy to buy since you can find one for sale anywhere at an affordable price.
On the other hand, PCs for design and gaming are difficult to find already assembled and running, so you will have to buy the parts and assemble it yourself or have it built at a technical service computer scientist.
We recommend the second option as it is the best way to configure your computer in a personalized way and exactly according to your preferences.
