Wanna Build A New PC? Come Here!

So you have decided it is time to build that new PC. What appears to be a simple idea at first, quickly becomes complicated when confronted with all the hardware options. "Where do I start?" I listen to you ask. Well first things first, a call has to be made on what the purpose of this flashy new machine will be. Although you can build a PC to cater for all purposes it is never necessary. I mean why buy a motherboard that can support graphics cards which creates plenty of heat, so requires plenty of cooling & makes plenty of noise, when the main use of the machine is for a HTPC (home theater PC). If I where to build a HTPC I would opt for a low power consumption motherboard with on-board graphics. Of work if your main use is for high demand betting then the motherboard that supports the graphics cards would be a more sensible choice.
Now that you have decided what the main use of your computer will be. The next thing to do is to pick a motherboard. So let’s say, as an example, I require to build a used entry level betting machine. First I would pick my motherboard budget, for this example I will use a budget of $200 - $240. Now I will have a handful of motherboards to pick from. My next port of call would be Google, I will visit review sites & try to find the best motherboard that meets my betting requirements, within my $200 - $240 budget. For this example I will pick the following ASUS P6X58D-E.
Next on my list for an entry level betting PC would be a CPU (central processing unit). Now that I have made my choice of motherboard, the ASUS P6X58D-E, plenty of the CPU decision-making has been taken out of my hands. Because the motherboard I am going to buy is only compatible with Intel CPU's with the socket type 1366. I found this information by visiting the motherboards review site & taking a glance at the technical information.
So now that I do know that my motherboard is only compatible with Intel socket 1366 CPU's I would pick my CPU budget. Then follow with research in to that range of CPU's to try & find that fits my needs.
By repeating the above method I would pick which parts to buy in order to complete my new build computer.
