How to Build a Gaming PC [PDF Guide]

Gaming can be an expensive hobby, especially the hardware. If you want to keep up, you’ll have to make sure you’ve got a sufficiently strong PC.

By building your own system, you will be able to suppress these costs, saving up to a couple hundred bucks.

But what you’re planning to do isn’t easy, and we’re not talking about the actual building. First you’ll need to gather all of your components.

MakeUseOf presents its latest PDF release - How to Build a Gaming PC, written by our very own PDF Manual Editor, Simon Slangen. In this guide, we’ll familiarize you with all the different computer components, from a gamer’s point of view. Instead of telling you what to buy, we’ll teach you how to weigh and judge these individual components.

In 27 illustrated pages, get to know your RAM from your CPU, and learn how to pick a decent graphics card. Go from zero to hero in no-time, and you’ll be able to buy the right components for your soon self-built PC. In the final chapter, we’ll be seeing additional hardware, and how to take extra advantage out of it as a gamer.

Don’t wait, download the the How to Build a Gaming PC guide now as a free PDF, or read it online on Scribd.
