Custom Built Gaming PC

The graphics card is an essential component that has the ability to greatly enhance your computer gaming experience. In order to enjoy crystal clear 3D images, your system requires a graphics card with tremendous processing power. Unless you’re willing to sacrifice gaming quality, a graphics card is something you do not want to go cheap on.

When selecting a graphics card for your system, the first thing you want to consider is the GPU. The Graphical Processing Unit is a chip on your graphics card which is responsible for processing video game images. It is without a doubt the most critical component of the graphics card.

Most graphics cards available today are built with ATI or nVidia GPUs as these developers currently dominate the market. When using an ATI graphics card, be sure to invest in the Raedon X1600 series or higher. Though somewhat more expensive, the Raedon X1950 series will provide you with the best experience of all ATI graphics cards.

If nVidia is your preference, the GeForce 7 series should be the bare minimum. The 768MB GDDR3 will give you the best experience as it allows you to play various 3D games without any interruptions or glitches.

Whether you’re looking for superior audio to compliment your computer game or quality sound for a new CD, having a good sound card is a must. Though choosing a sound card can be rather frustrating, this short guide will detail what’s out there and help to simplify things.

You essentially have two choices when shopping for sound cards: 16-bits or 24-bits. Sound cards with 24-bit encoding will provide you with added clarity and better overall quality and is more suitable for gaming. However, a 16-bit sound card is sufficient for most basic users who simply want to enjoy music on their computer.

Signal To Noise
A SNR (Signal to Noise Ratio) is a variable that measures between the noise and sound signal generated by your sound card. In most cases, a higher SNR will provide you with better sound quality.

Surround Sound
Those heavy into computer games and multimedia content will benefit most from a sound card with surround sound. This type of sound card has the ability to support up to 7.1 channels in surround sound. Before purchasing the card, be sure that it is certified with labels by Dolby Digital, DTS, EAX or THX.

The implementation of a cache is the perfect solution for increasing the speed of your gaming system. A cache is an incredibly fast type of memory primarily used to store data that is repeatedly used by the CPU. Its basic function is to accelerate the CPU retrieval process which results in a more efficient computer system. Without the cache, the CPU is forced to retrieve instructions directly from RAM. This is a situation that can make playing a graphic-rich video game nearly impossible.

Because it can be very expensive, we advise that you do not implement such a huge cache into your system. A good rule of thumb is the faster your processor, the bigger a cache your system requires. The Intel Dual Core Extreme is a high end CPU that comes included with a 4MB cache. Celeron CPUs are a more economical version of the Intel chip. A typical Celeron CPU only contains a 256KB cache and therefore operates slower than an Intel Pentium 4 CPU, despite the fact that many of them have the same operating speed.
