5 Important Computer Parts

 Every extreme computer user chooses each part individually. They know which part has to be extremely fast for their individual needs and which part can be just fast or even mediocre. But for beginners or people who are doing research at the moment to decide their next purchase, here is a list of the top 5 most important computer parts.

5. GPU
Nvidia and ATI will tell you it makes the number one difference in your computer, they are lying. It makes the number 5 biggest difference in your computer and that's why it's in our number 5 spot obviously. The GPU, also known as graphics card or video card, will help your computer generating 3D textures and images. So basically everything you see is generated by your GPU but most can be done by any GPU. The difference between a good one and a bad one is the speed it renders 3D images and textures in. So this includes games, graphic design and intensive 3d works. Especially if you're a gamer, please don't neglect this part of your computer.

4. Memory.
Wait when did I put this in? Anyway I guess it can be because multi-tasking is the number one thing we're doing these days. We're opening 3 internet explorers, a video, we're downloading and having Adobe Photoshop running in the background. All these applications are taking memory and when it is full, it is full. This means you can open no more without your computer slowing down or even freezing temporarily. It is something we should seriously look at when buying a new PC. Keep in mind your needs and budget.

3. CPU
The speediest windows experience can only be reached with a cpu that packs serious speed. It makes things open faster, run smoother, and will enhance the graphics experience. Like with the memory it is important to sync your needs and budget to go for a proper processor. Go for quad cores i you want to do serious multi-tasking. Go for dual core if you are less of a multi-tasker and would like a cheaper CPU.

2. HDDs
For people who are less known with the shortcuts it means hard disk drive aka the gigabytes it mentions in the my computer screen. When you run out, you're out. To ensure you can store all your data for years to come, make a list of things you expect to store. and double it for a more future proof system. 1 TB drives are as cheap as $70 these days to don't be afraid to go optimistic with the GBs.

1. Motherboard
Ah yes it is the mother of all computer parts. It is the mothership of all greatness. The cream and foundation of every nice ice cream. Should I go on with these? I've got many more. The motherboard is the most important part of every computer because it is one of the sole deciders what you can put in your computer and to some extend how great it works together. If you buy the wrong motherboard, it will limit you in your processor, memory, HDD, cooler and GPU choice. So without an doubt it is the most important part of your pc and you should pick one with care always.

So there you have it. 5 parts you should look at with care when buying a new computer. Of course there're other parts but these are the most important, vital, decisions you must make before opening your wallet.
