Today, the editor will share with you the six essential skills for purchasing and assembling computers, hoping to provide some help for you to actually purchase and assemble computers!
What problems should be paid attention to when buying a computer
1. CPU
CPU selection is not based on the number of cores . A considerable number of computer novices believe that the more cores the CPU has, the better the performance of the computer will be. This is a big misunderstanding, and it is also a way for merchants to fool computer Xiaobai. For example, the quad-core Core i3-10100 has much better performance than the eight-core E5-2670 and other Xeon CPU models.
It is recommended that you must look at the model when buying a computer and choosing a CPU. The mainstream installed model within the last 3 years shall prevail, and you can't go wrong basically.
2. Graphics card
The choice of graphics card is not based on the memory capacity. Many computer merchants are recommending graphics cards, all of which use 1G and 2G graphics cards to induce consumers, making many computer beginners think that the larger the video memory capacity, the better the performance of the graphics card. Remember that the focus of a graphics card depends on its core code, such as GT1030, GTX1080, RTX3060, etc., as well as the type of video memory of the graphics card, such as the difference between D3 and D5 versions, and so on.

3. Computer motherboard
Computer motherboards can't just look at the model as a criterion. There are many unscrupulous merchants who only have one model of the motherboard when writing computer configurations, but do not indicate the specific brand, specification and suffix.
You should know that even the same model of motherboard has different brands, specifications and suffix versions, and there are great differences in price and quality. If you don’t want to be cheated, it is best to check the specific motherboard model parameters and specifications on the Internet according to the matching CPU model, as well as the performance, and then make a choice.
4. Memory and hard disk
Computer memory sticks and hard drives generally don’t have much room for cheating people, as long as you don’t choose low-capacity memory sticks and hard drives. At present, mainstream installations are all targeting 16G memory sticks and 500G solid-state drives. As for the brand, you can choose according to your own preferences.
Do not choose low-capacity memory sticks
5. Computer case and power supply
Please don't overlook the chassis and power supply role. There may be many friends who don’t care about the great effects of these two things. If you choose a low-quality chassis and power supply, it will also bring various problems to the daily use of computers. Especially in terms of power supply, many businesses use low-quality power supply, and the power supply power is not up to standard, causing various crashes and blue screens of the computer, which are also common occurrences.
6. Participate in the whole installation process
If you assemble the computer, you need to participate in the whole process. For this problem, most people may not take it seriously, but the problem often occurs in this link. Therefore, after selecting the hardware configuration, it is best to accompany the computer installer in person and watch him watch the whole process from unpacking the accessories to installing the computer, so as to prevent the accessories from being traded in for new ones. As a result, more failures may occur during the use of the computer in the future.
