This is the step takes time and consideration. What parts I can buy? What are the best? There are many good places to buy computer parts. You can go to a computer retail store in your area. Although often provide good warranties, you pay a little more than elsewhere.

There are many good places to buy computer parts. You can go to a team
retail store in your area. Although often provide good warranties, you
pay a little more than elsewhere. Sometimes more.
Case – there are two types of cases, Desktop and Tower. Desktop cases are short , and fat (which can fit under the monitor very well.) and the towers are tall and thin which are usually placed under the desk. Decided that one fits into your better environment.
There are two different forms of computer cases. AT and ATX. is necessary to find which one you need. Where forms are used for older computers, Pentium 1 and before. And ATX form cases are used to newer systems like the Pentium 2, 3, 4 and AMD Athlon etc.
Motherboard – The motherboard is the central component in the system. If you want to upgrade your processor / memory / video card, can only be updated if motherboard that supports. It is always worth planning a head, so buy best motherboard you can afford.
Before selecting a plaque in the following. What processor you want
use for it. What a memory it supports. It has an AGP slot? An AGP
special slot is used for 3DFX graphics cards. What expansion slots does another have? You will need a minimum of 3 PCI slots.
Hard drives operate at special rates. 33MHz, 66MHz, 100MHz and 133MHz, check the motherboard supports the speed of your hard drive. If the hard disk works 100 mhz and your motherboard only goes up 66MHz, then your hard drive still works but not in its fastest speed.
Motherboards come in two different ways. AT and ATX, sure that this form
matches the shape of your case. Make sure you get a manual for your motherboard, This manual tells you how to configure your motherboard.
Processor – There are many different processors out but these are the main ones.
Pentium 4 / AMD Athlon – This processor is more expensive but faster
around. This processor is used in systems that need a performance like
Game performance / server / web design. faster processor is the current speed 3.2GHz 3200mhz
Celeron / AMD Duron – These processors are much cheaper than the Pentium 4 and AMD Athlon. Usually used in the average user systems such as word processing / surfing network / email / games.
Cirix – cheaper processors in the market. But they are far behind in performance AMD and Pentium.
You have to decide on what processor would be necessary, Also make sure
motherboard supports. Always make sure buy a heat sink and fan to maintain
cold processing. Warning: If your fan is not enough for your processor, then
your processor is probably overheating and block team. And in the
long-term damage to your processor.
Memory – Memory is an important part of your machine, as what your motherboard can take. Buy the fastest memory your motherboard will have. Buy at least 128 MB, this is the bear minimum for those days. I would recommend 256mb.
CD-ROM/DVD: Each team need a CD-ROM to load software. There are a few
different types of CD-ROM. You can buy one that can write data to a CD-ROM.
You can also buy CD-ROM drive that supports DVD. Check what speed the CD-ROM. Usual 52x speed.
Hard Drive-When you select a hard drive there are two things to consider, how larger the drive capacity and how quickly it work. A drive is 20gig
more than enough for most users. Make sure the hard drive speed
compatible with your motherboard, if not supported then the hard drive
Do not run at high speed, consider an upgrade of the motherboard.
Video Card – There are lots of different video cards in the market, where
selection of considering these points. They focus on an AGP or PCI slot
motherboard? AGP is a special video slot, so buy an AGP video card with a shape, Also check the motherboard has an AGP slot. How much memory does the card? And how fast it works? I would recommend getting a video card with at least 32 MB of memory.
Sound card – Almost all teams have sound, I would not recommend spending
a lot of money on a sound unless you want the team Surround support
sound. Check what slot the card plugs into the motherboard and if you have one free.
Keyboard & Mouse – No need for a lot of information here. But beware, there are two types of connections for a ratonesson keyboard and PS / 2 and USB, make sure your motherboard has available connections.
