DIY installed hardware to buy novice must see hardware knowledge

September School season has arrived, DIY computer as a student of the most cost-effective choice, the beginning of the school year will be driven by a small round of installed boom. Because the students themselves do not have a financial source, to buy a computer also need to spend their parents ' money, so many sensible children's shoes in DIY installed on the special focus on cost-effective, helpless store profiteers many, each year DIY installed by the pit of the students a lot. For small white-level DIY students friends, the following small series with the introduction of DIY hardware to buy literacy, including the CPU, graphics, memory, hard disk, motherboard, chassis, hard disk and other hardware purchase skills, do not understand the children's shoes to learn to recharge it.

Recently found a number of students friends also online help installed, but online solution rushes, many friends for a time also uncertain idea, in fact, and not sure of the adoption of other people's views, or their own learning a little DIY basic knowledge to charge, not only to learn knowledge, but also to help themselves choose the right products.

1, how to choose the CPU?

CPU is one of the core hardware of the computer, which determines the computing power of the computer. Today, both Intel and AMD have introduced a new generation of architecture products. One of the next generation of CPU the biggest bright spot is to greatly enhance the core graphics performance, for the general just play the popular network game students friend, the next generation of mainstream CPU completely without the need to carry a separate video card can meet the demand.

The choice of DIY installed CPU

Overall installed more cost-effective CPU products are worth recommending:

AMD cost-effective apu:a10-6800k (latest three-generation Apu), a10-5800k and a8-5600k (second generation APU)

Intel's superior Integration platform: Core i3 4130, core™ i5 4570 (all Intel's latest four-generation Haswell products, built in H440 and HD4600 core graphics, which can meet the mainstream graphics requirements with a central video card).

Some of the above CPU due to the built-in a pretty good core graphics card, can be comparable to independent graphics, so for students installed users, very suitable for the overall platform, which core i3 4130, Core i5 4570 is also suitable for the later increase of independent graphics significantly improve performance.

For students with a low budget, they can also choose the more cost-effective Intel Celeron G1610, G2020, and a6-5400k, a4-5300 and other popular CPU products.

Editorial Reviews: Now Inyel four generations of core i3 mainstream products have been listed, buy new do not buy old, three generations of products let it back to the market, if you want to be in the three generations of i3 3220 and four generation i3 4130 choice, the general proposal to choose a new platform for the i3 4130, is to pay attention to cost-effective users, i3 3220 is still optional. In addition to the intended purchase of independent graphics users, such as GT610, GT620 and HD6570 completely outdated entry independent video card is not worth buying, because its performance is not even as the CPU built-in core graphics, online DIY installed mall will often appear such graphics cards, we see directly pull black this product bar.

2, the choice of graphics card

The graphics card is also one of the most core hardware of the computer, determines the computer volume graph display ability, for the game or the graph processing user, the graphics card decides its performance. As mentioned above, the core graphics cards built into the CPU today, especially the AMD four APU and the Intel quad-generation Haswell processor, have a core graphics performance that is no less than an entry-independent graphics card, so choosing a consolidation machine is a good way to save money for non-large game users.

DIY Installed video card selection

For today's installed users, the hottest mainstream graphics card is HD7770, gtx650ti above the level of graphics, for budget limited friends can consider the middle-end mainstream graphics performance slightly lower HD7750 and GTX650 graphics card.

For GT610, GT620, GT630, GT640, HD6570, HD6770 graphics cards are now obsolete, not worthy of choice, we can pull it black.

3, the choice of memory and hard disk

Memory and hard disk are the storage media in the computer, the former play only a "data buffering" role, now installed is 4g-8g memory, hard disk is a computer storage disk, is the place where you store learning information game movies, so don't make "boss I want to go with a 500G memory computer" This old joke.

The choice of DIY installed memory

In layman's parlance, the memory is the computer runs the memory, in runs any application and the program time all uses, but the hard disk is only stores the thing. Computer memory is equivalent to the RAM in the mobile phone, which determines the speed of the computer, while the hard disk is only about data reading and storage, and the computer Performance Association is not as direct as memory.

How to choose the memory? Now the basic look at capacity, general memory 4G can basically meet me all kinds of needs, the budget can also purchase 8G memory, the other memory best choice ddr3-1600 above memory, 1600 represents the frequency, the higher the better.

Hard disk, is now the choice of more than 500G hard disk, the most cost-effective hard disk solution is 1TB big hard drive, the price difference 500G and not small, but the capacity has doubled. Another hard disk as a system disk when not cheap bought the west number green disk, because of its poor performance, to select the Western data hard drive to choose the blue disk.

About the choice of solid State drive

Solid state hard disk is also a kind of hard disk, but the nature is relatively special so to come out alone. Solid-state hard disk compared to the mechanical hard disk per g capacity more expensive, 120/128g capacity of solid-state hard disk price of about 700 yuan, generally as a system disk. Do not put the solid-state hard disk directly on the computer when from disk data plate, or only to install XP, it is a blatant waste.

Selection of solid state hard disk for DIY machine

How to choose the solid state Drive? Look at the brand after the capacity. Solid-State hard disk market Long, the strength of the manufacturers can develop a good master-controlled firmware, which and solid-state hard disk performance, life-related. At present, the most popular brands are Pukot, Midea, Samsung, OCZ and so on, other brands are best to choose less.

In addition, SSD needs to support SATA3.0 motherboard to play its optimal performance, in addition to the SSD system has a certain requirements, need to carry Win7 above system support, XP system can not play the best performance of SSD, we need to understand.

Ps: The current solid-state hard disk prices are generally very expensive, and the capacity is small, if the budget is limited, then the machine as long as the choice of mechanical hard drive, later if necessary, and then consider upgrading to buy SSDs.

4, the choice of the motherboard

Motherboard selection, in fact, the current relatively good choice, because the motherboard on the performance of the machine has little impact, as long as the selection of some with USB3.0 and SAT3.0 interface mainstream products. Remember a few one or two line manufacturers: Gigabyte, Ying Tai, Hua-Qing ... Then select the motherboard chipset based on the CPU interface--recommend LGA1155 Select the b75,lga1150 selected B85, AMD FM2 select A75 or A85 motherboard.

DIY Installed motherboard selection

Note: Intel's new quad-generation Haswell processor, with its new LGA1150 interface, needs to choose the 8 Series motherboard, the I3/I5 mainstream installed user best choice B85 motherboard.

5, the choice of power

Power in the computer machine, with similar computer machine's heart role, for the various hardware to provide power, many friends think power is not important, in fact, is wrong, the power of the quality of the machine determines the stability and durability of the performance. Nowadays, many brands of power supply, with a lot of Shanzhai brand, for less than hundred inferior power supply to look at, directly eliminated. Select power, optimistic about the brand to pick the rated power. General integration platform with the chassis with the power supply can be, these power supply of the rated power is generally 230W. Single display platform mainstream power 350W, 450W, these two rated power power supply is enough to cope with the following 6,000 yuan of new architecture PC configuration. Note that the power of choice is rated power, the brand can pay attention to Taiwan Tatsu, sea Rhyme, all Han, titanium, aviation Jia, the Great Wall and other well-known power brands, products more reliable and durable.

6, the choice of chassis

Chassis for computer performance also has no direct impact, generally in the choice is also nothing to say, mainly in the choice of chassis, to pay attention to the chassis work and strength not too bad, not easy deformation, as far as possible to choose a thick steel plate, durable chassis. Also need to go back line installed users, need to pay attention to whether the chassis support to go back line.
