Can you explain on what parameters to choose PC components?

Question

Iron

Hello. So I decided to build a PC for myself. Due to the small amount of information, it was useful to create topics on the forums asking for help in the assembly. The result was disappointing: someone wrote that it could be easily assembled and even left for ice cream, someone wrote - I quote: "50k + available vidyuha is a budget one? Yes, you are a comedian!" , someone even tried to help by posting their builds, but without arguing them in any way. "they won't help me" - with this thought, I realized that it was time to independently learn how to understand computer components and assemble them properly.
Actually, I singled out two main points for myself.
1) This is to understand what parameters to choose one or another component of a personal computer.
2) Watch the tests of video cards, processors, and make your choice based on their testing.
What do I need from you? This is to help clarify the first point. In addition to this topic, I also read other resources on this subject, but I hope you can explain it more concisely, and without a thousand lines of unnecessary water.
That's all I wanted to say. Thank you all for participating!

Answer 1

The format of the motherboard is selected for the case: ATX, mATX and so on. They must match.
A processor is selected for the motherboard (it depends on the socket, for example, a processor with an AM3 socket (from AMD) will not fit a mother with an LGA775 socket (for Intel).
You should also look at the number of slots for RAM in the motherboard, under the maximum amount of the bar in one slot.
Be sure to look at USB 3.0 support, this is very important (motherboard).
Again, the mother is responsible for the connectors for the video card. The most modern interface is PCIExpress 3.0. But, if your processor does not support this (or vice versa, the processor does, and the mother does not), then the video card will work on PCIExpress 2.0.
The video card is selected for the motherboard, but in principle, there are no restrictions. Be sure to look at the outputs in the video card. Also on the volume (1, 2, 4, 12 GB), on the type (DDR3, GDDR3 and the newest - GDDR5). Do not get lost when it is written that the mother supports up to DDR3. This does not apply to the video card. This applies to the op.

Answer 2

My sequence is something like this. As a rule, when choosing a PC, we already approximately know some numbers as a first approximation. For example, today, when assembling a car, the average user will probably rely on memory in the range of 8-16 GB, let's say 16. It would be nice to leave room for a future upgrade.
With the help of such estimates, we need to decide on the motherboard chipset. Take it with a margin, do not make empty investments. If we want 16GB of memory, then it would be good if the mother had twice the maximum memory capacity and there were free slots. Next, try to decide on the family of CPU sockets. If the budget allows Intel, if not, then AMD can. We determine the frequency of memory. We look at prices, take the maximum frequency with the most reasonable price.
Next is the periphery - a video card, ssd, hdd - everything is clear there anyway.

Answer 3

1 for what purposes do you need a PC
2 how much are you willing to spend
3 The more top-end parts, the longer you can use them at maximum capabilities

Answer 4

I agree with Artem :
Decide what you want to get from the computer and how much money you have.
Then determine which (or which) of the computer components is the most critical for you to choose.
In a gaming computer, for example, this may be primarily a video card.
Read the reviews, choose this most critical component for yourself.
I repeat, there may be several components that are critical for you. SSD, RAM, video card - for example.
After that, you can use some online configurator in stores.
I often buy in citylink (personal preferences, not advertising) and use them mainly www.citilink.ru/configurator(requires registration on their website).
Such configurators allow you to smooth out mistakes / inexperience in finding compatible components, and often, the typed configuration of the system unit can be ordered for assembly from the same company.
The disadvantages are that the search for components is based on the company's product database, which may not contain the one you need.
After the complete assembly of the config, you will receive its approximate price =)
The market price will not differ much, but if you want (for example, you have slightly exceeded your finance limit) - you can look for components in other stores where it is cheaper.
If you still exceed - see where you can reduce your requirements to reduce the price.
PS Advisers on the Internet when writing recommendations on what to buy, as a rule, are guided by personal experience, addiction to brands, the moon in Capricorn and OBS radio.
Generally, none of these sources of advice will be adequate. Even personal experience. Once upon a time, AMD strongly overtook Intel in the gigahertz race. Once upon a time, AMD got very hot. Once Nvidia was bad, ATI was good, and then vice versa. The situation is constantly changing.
If you want to assemble a computer with the help of Internet advisers - set strict conditions for them, read the answers, filter out the flame and holivars, the rest will probably be useful =)
True, if you learn how to set the correct requirements, you will not need advisers from the Internet, you yourself requirements you can collect =)
Oh yes, before setting the config on your own - check local stores for computers already assembled for sale that meet your
requirements assembly.
Overclockers need to assemble on their own, for a specific task within a strict framework, as well as out of sports interest.
