Best Buy Parts Order
Which would be the best ordering of computer hardware?
I am only a teen and I will be adding to my built computer. Since I’m a teen, money will have to be earned the hard way, and instead of earning all the money and getting all the hardware together, which would be the best order to buy? Here is what I’ll be buying this year
-processor (quad processor 3.4ghz about $180)
-power supply (500W or above ($100-$200)
-ram (16GB DDR2 so it’s about $500)
-graphics card (HD Radeon 5700 series $140-$160)
Anyway which would be the best order to buy the parts? I am wanting them ordered in improvement, not necessarily price. Thanks.
Sorry If I sounded like I was building one. I have already built one and I am slowly improving it by replacing parts.
Also don’t worry about it being compatible. I have already researched it.
I would buy the power supply first, simply because they do not become outdated nearly as quickly as other computer parts. As long as you buy one by a reliable brand like Corsair or Thermaltake you won’t have to replace it for a long time.
Next, I would go for the RAM; unless you plan on doing some serious overclocking, you won’t notice much of a difference between different brands of RAM as long as they are all DDR2.
Third, I would get the processor. They usually release new ones about every 2 years, but a good CPU can last you for 3-4 years depending on your needs.
The graphics card I would buy last because it is usually the hardware component that becomes obsolete the fastest, especially if you are interested in gaming. You should definitely buy the best graphics card you can afford so you will not have to replace it as soon.
Hope this helps!
