\n\u2022 \ud83d\udee1\ufe0f Check the warranty conditions for each component.<\/p>\n

Consoles may be the most popular gaming platform, but as you know, there are many advantages to playing on PC. We're not just talking about the versatility (since we can use them for a multitude of things besides gaming), but also because of the "exclusive" PC games that aren't on consoles, such as League of Legends<\/em> or the new one Valorant<\/em>, as well as an extensive catalogue of strategy games and MOBAs. \ud83d\udd79\ufe0f<\/p>\n

So, let's see what factors you should take into account when choosing your first PC. gaming<\/a> and get it right without spending extra money. \ud83d\udcb8<\/p>\n

How to Build a Gaming PC \u2013 Should You Buy a PC in Parts or a Pre-Built One? \ud83c\udfae\ud83d\udcbb<\/h2>\n

The easiest option when buying a gaming PC is to go to any physical store and purchase one that's already pre-built. This means we don't have to put it together ourselves. However, these machines often prioritize marketing and exterior design, leaving the internal components in the background, which can lead to unpleasant surprises. \ud83d\ude15<\/p>\n

To make an informed decision, quickly evaluate the following (DIY):
\n1\ufe0f\u20e3 \ud83d\udd0d Fuente de poder: revisa la etiqueta (potencia real, certificaci\u00f3n 80 PLUS, conectores<\/a> PCIe).
\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 \ud83d\udca1 Cooling: Check that it includes a capable heatsink and adequate airflow in the case.
\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f Memory: Confirm dual channel and speed compatible with the platform.
\n4\ufe0f\u20e3 \ud83d\udcca Storage: Prefer SSD as your system drive; avoid HDD as your only drive.
\n5\ufe0f\u20e3 \u2705 Warranty: Make sure the warranty is directly with the manufacturer and that you can extend\/upgrade it without losing it.<\/p>\n

If you're looking to spend just the right amount and control quality, a piece-by-piece PC lets you choose each component and balance budget and performance. \ud83e\udde9<\/p>\n

\"alienware-aurora-act1250\"\ud83d\udda5\ufe0f Build your own custom PC<\/strong><\/h2>\n

The advantages of assembling a PC in parts are that You choose each component<\/strong>If you are worried about the assembly, you can rely on step-by-step guides and manuals (consult your resources) website<\/a> and manufacturers). \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f If you prefer to have it assembled by you, check the assembly and warranty conditions offered by the chosen shop, and keep receipts and a parts list for future updates. \ud83d\udd27<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udca1 Quick assembly tip:
\n1\ufe0f\u20e3 Presenta la motherboard<\/a> fuera del gabinete y prueba RAM\/CPU\/SSD y POST inicial.
\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Install the motherboard in the case and manage cables behind it for better airflow.
\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 \ud83e\uddea Check temperatures and stability after the first start.<\/p>\n

You may pay a little more \ud83d\udcb8, but a balanced choice and careful assembly often result in a better experience and less noise\/temperature. \ud83d\udcaf<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfae The most important elements<\/strong> of a gaming PC<\/h2>\n

We are not talking about just any PC, but one specially designed<\/strong> for games. Therefore, we must carefully consider the importance of the pieces of hardware<\/a> that we are going to assemble. Sometimes, it may be necessary to save a little on some components in order to invest in other ones of better quality. \u2699\ufe0f<\/p>\n

In a gaming PC, the most crucial elements are, in this order: graphic card<\/strong>, processor<\/strong>, RAM memory<\/strong> and storage<\/strong>. \ud83d\udcbb<\/p>\n

He processor<\/a><\/strong> is the brain of the team and is essential for all types of games. On the other hand, the graphic card<\/strong><\/a> determines the quality and resolution of the games we want to play. \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f<\/p>\n

In addition, the amount and speed of the RAM<\/strong> influences the performance<\/a> of the games, and of course, having a fast storage<\/strong> It is vital to speed up the loading of games. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n

\"Placa-de-Video-RTX-5090\"He processor can be Intel<\/a> or AMD<\/strong>. Don't miss our post about Intel and AMD CPU Equivalents: The 2022 Guide<\/a>. Typically, processors AMD<\/a> They are cheaper and offer a better quality\/price ratio. \ud83d\udee0\ufe0f<\/p>\n

As for the graph, it can be AMD or NVIDIA<\/a><\/strong>AMD graphics cards usually offer a better price\/performance ratio. However, NVIDIA's cards are currently the standouts for their pure performance. \ud83c\udfae<\/p>\n

For the RAM memory<\/strong>, 8GB will be enough for most cases. But if you want to play big and your budget allows it, don't hesitate to opt for 16GB of RAM. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n

Regarding the storage<\/strong>, there's no question about it: buy an SSD. It doesn't matter if you're on a tight budget and you're happy with a SATA 3 SSD, as they are now very cheap and offer incredible performance compared to a classic mechanical hard drive. \ud83d\udcbe<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udcbb How to build a gaming PC \u2013 How to know if a component is good or not? \ud83e\udd14<\/h2>\n

Ahora ten\u00e9s m\u00e1s o menos claro lo que quer\u00e9s seg\u00fan tu presupuesto, pero en este momento, \u00bfc\u00f3mo saber si un componente es bueno o no? Tanto las gr\u00e1ficas como los procesadores pueden tener nombres confusos. Puede que no tengas claro si una NVIDIA GeForce<\/a> GTX 1660 is better than an AMD Radeon RX 560, for example. \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f<\/p>\n

For this reason, we recommend that you take a few minutes to look at our post. NVIDIA vs AMD Graphics Card Comparison 2022<\/a> \ud83d\udcca, where you will find reviews of graphics cards and processors that fit your budget. This way you can make an informed decision and choose the best for your gaming PC. \ud83c\udfae<\/p>\n

\"PC\ud83c\udfae In addition to this, to understand if a component of hardware<\/a> will work fine on the games you want to play, you can always search reference points<\/strong> in the reviews. In general, when a review of a graphics card is done, it is always tested in games, and there you will be able to see the FPS<\/strong> that is capable of generating. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n

\ud83e\udd14 In addition to this, talking in terms of good or bad is not really accurate. Nowadays, it is difficult to find a poor quality PC product or component. It is more accurate to talk about performances<\/strong>. Usually, price is an easy segmentation to understand what yields more and what yields less; it is not 100% reliable, but it is indicative. \ud83d\udca1<\/p>\n

\ud83d\udd0d Similarly, the selection process requires information that we must look for to understand whether it is really worth it or not. \ud83d\udcc8<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udfae Other components to consider for an ideal gaming PC \ud83c\udfae<\/h2>\n

Antes de elegir un hardware espec\u00edfico, es fundamental que te preguntes cu\u00e1les son tus objetivos. No es lo mismo querer una PC gaming para que tu hijo juegue al Fortnite que buscar una m\u00e1quina para disfrutar los \u00faltimos juegos triple A en 4K resolution<\/a>. \ud83c\udfaf This directly affects the budget you will need. \ud83d\udcb0<\/p>\n

For example, if your goal is to play Fortnite in 1080p, a gaming PC of around 500 to 700 euros will probably be enough. \ud83d\udcbb\u2728 However, if you want to experience The Witcher 3 in 4K with everything turned up to the max, you'll have to invest at least three times as much. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"ThePor esta raz\u00f3n, el primer consejo es que antes de seguir, tengas bien definidas tus metas y tu presupuesto \ud83d\udca1\ud83d\udcb8. Es importante que sepas que no podr\u00e1s jugar a resoluci\u00f3n 4K y con todo al m\u00e1ximo si cuentas con una PC gaming<\/a> from 500 euros \ud83c\udfae\ud83d\udcbb.<\/p>\n

Do you want a pre-built PC but not OEM? \ud83e\udd14<\/h2>\n

You may not want to go through the hassle of buying your PC in parts, and prefer to have it assembled directly in the store. You may also be wary of OEM PCs sold by some manufacturers, as sometimes their components are not of the quality and performance<\/a> that one would expect. \ud83d\uded1<\/p>\n

If this is your case, consider online stores with a catalog of pre-built parts. Check that they indicate exactly what components are included (motherboard, VRM, PSU, dual-channel RAM, SSD) and the warranty and return conditions. \ud83d\udcbb\u2728<\/p>\n

Las tiendas m\u00e1s grandes tambi\u00e9n arman sus PCs por componentes, les ponen un nombre propio, los venden con garant\u00eda y tambi\u00e9n incluyen la cobertura para el montaje. Esta es una opci\u00f3n pr\u00e1ctica si no quer\u00e9s un PC OEM y prefieres especificaciones transparentes. \ud83d\uded2\ud83d\udd27<\/p>\n

How to Choose a Gaming PC Final Tips\ud83c\udfae<\/h2>\n

Bigger is not always better:<\/strong> You don't need a huge tower to have a system with high-end components. Buy a large tower only if you like the way it looks and want plenty of room for future upgrades. \ud83d\udda5\ufe0f<\/p>\n

Get an SSD if possible:<\/strong> This will make your computer much faster than using a traditional HDD, and it has no moving parts. Look for at least a 256GB boot SSD and consider a second SSD or a good hard drive for storage depending on your needs. \ud83d\ude80<\/p>\n

No pod\u00e9s equivocarte con Intel or AMD<\/a>:<\/strong> As long as you choose a current-gen chip, both companies offer comparable overall performance. Intel CPUs tend to perform slightly better when running games at lower resolutions (1080p and below), while AMD's Ryzen processors typically handle tasks like video editing better, thanks to their extra cores and threads. \ud83e\udde0<\/p>\n

Don't buy more RAM than you need:<\/strong> 8GB is fine in a pinch, but 16GB is ideal for most users. Serious game streamers and those working with high-end media creation will need the most storage. range<\/a> With large files you will want more, but you will have to pay a lot for options that go up to 64 or even 128GB. \ud83d\udcbe<\/p>\n

Don't buy a gaming rig with multiple cards unless necessary:<\/strong> If you're a serious gamer, get a system with the best single graphics card you can afford. Many games don't perform significantly better with two or more cards in Crossfire or SLI, and some actually perform worse. Because of these complications, a single powerful GPU is often better for a stable experience. \ud83c\udfae\ud83d\udd8c\ufe0f<\/p>\n

The power source is important:<\/strong> Does the PSU provide enough power to cover the hardware<\/a> inside? (In most cases, the answer is yes, but there are some exceptions, particularly if you plan to overclock a CPU.) Also, note whether the PSU will offer enough power for future updates<\/a> of GPUs and other components. \u26a1<\/p>\n

Cabinet size and expansion options vary dramatically between our selections. \ud83d\udd27<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ports matter:<\/strong> Beyond the connections needed to hook up your monitor(s), you'll want plenty of USB ports for connecting other peripherals and external storage. Front-facing ports are especially useful for flash drives, card readers, and other frequently used devices. For added future-proofing, look for a system with both USB 3.1 Gen 2 and USB-C ports. \ud83d\udd0c<\/p>\n

\ud83c\udd98 If the process becomes complicated (e.g., boards not POSTing, bent pins, burning smell, sparking, thermal instability), or if you don't have the proper tools (thermal paste, magnetic screwdrivers, ESD wrist strap), seek out a trusted technical support service to avoid damage and voiding the warranty. \u2139\ufe0f Keep your manuals and verify compatibility (BIOS\/firmware) before updating. \ud83d\udcce<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/header>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
