GPU Guide

The GPU (graphics card) renders everything on screen and is the single biggest factor in gaming performance. VRAM is its dedicated memory — 8GB is the practical minimum for 1080p, and 12–16GB is better for 1440p and 4K. TDP is its power draw in watts, which your PSU and case airflow must support. Higher tiers trade more performance for higher price, power, and heat.

  • VRAM — the card's dedicated memory; relevant for higher resolutions and texture-heavy games (8GB for 1080p, 12–16GB for 1440p/4K).
  • TDP — power draw in watts; relevant for sizing your PSU and case cooling.
  • DLSS / FSR upscaling — relevant for boosting frame rates in modern titles with little visual loss.
  • Tier / model — relevant for matching the card to your target resolution and budget.
  • Display outputs (HDMI 2.1, DisplayPort) — relevant for high-refresh and 4K monitor support.

CPU Guide

The CPU (processor) handles general computation and strongly affects productivity work and CPU-bound 1080p gaming. Cores and threads set multitasking and rendering throughput, while clock speed (GHz) drives single-task responsiveness. TDP is its power draw in watts. The socket (e.g. AM5, LGA1700) must match your motherboard. Creation favors more cores and cache; gaming favors strong per-core speed.

  • Cores & threads — relevant for multitasking, video editing, rendering, and streaming.
  • Clock speed (GHz) — relevant for single-task responsiveness and gaming.
  • Cache (L3) — relevant for gaming performance (e.g. AMD's X3D chips).
  • TDP — power draw in watts; relevant for cooler choice and PSU sizing.
  • Socket — relevant for motherboard compatibility (AM5, LGA1700/1851).
  • Integrated graphics — relevant only if you won't run a dedicated GPU.

Motherboard Guide

The motherboard ties every part together. Its socket must match your CPU (AM5 for Ryzen 7000/9000, LGA1700/1851 for Intel) and its chipset determines features like overclocking and the number of PCIe and M.2 lanes. Form factor (ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX) must fit your case. Check RAM type (DDR4 vs DDR5), M.2 slot count, and rear I/O before buying.

  • Socket — must match your CPU (AM5, LGA1700/1851).
  • Chipset — relevant for overclocking support and PCIe/M.2 lane count (e.g. B650 vs X670).
  • Form factor — relevant for case fit and slot count (ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX).
  • RAM type & slots — relevant for DDR4 vs DDR5 and max capacity.
  • M.2 & SATA slots — relevant for how many drives you can install.
  • VRM quality — relevant for stable power to high-core-count or overclocked CPUs.

GB per Dollar vs Price

RAM Guide

RAM is the short-term memory your PC uses for active programs. Capacity matters most — 16GB is the baseline and 32GB is ideal for gaming and creation. Speed (e.g. DDR5-6000) and timings (CL, lower is better) give modest gains. DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable; your CPU and motherboard decide which you need. Enable XMP/EXPO in BIOS to run the rated speed.

  • Capacity — relevant for multitasking and headroom (16GB baseline, 32GB ideal).
  • Speed (MT/s) — relevant for performance, especially on AMD (e.g. DDR5-6000).
  • Timings (CL) — relevant for latency; lower is better.
  • DDR generation — relevant for CPU/motherboard compatibility; DDR4 and DDR5 are not interchangeable.
  • Dual channel — relevant for bandwidth; use two sticks rather than one.
  • XMP / EXPO — relevant for actually running the rated speed (enable in BIOS).

Wattage vs Price

PSU Guide

The power supply delivers clean, stable power to every component. Size the wattage to your parts with headroom — most builds want 650–850W. The 80 Plus rating (Bronze to Titanium) measures efficiency, not overall quality. Modular cables ease cable management. Don't cut corners here: buy a reputable unit with real protections (OVP, OCP, SCP), since a failing PSU can damage other parts.

  • Wattage — relevant for supporting your parts with headroom (most builds want 650–850W).
  • 80 Plus rating — relevant for efficiency and heat (Bronze to Titanium).
  • Modularity — relevant for cable management and airflow.
  • Protections (OVP/OCP/SCP) — relevant for safeguarding your components.
  • Connectors (PCIe 8-pin, 12VHPWR) — relevant for powering modern GPUs.

CPU Cooler Guide

The CPU cooler removes heat so your processor can reach and hold its clocks. Match its socket to your CPU and its TDP rating to — or above — your CPU's heat output. Air coolers are reliable and quiet; AIO liquid coolers (240/280/360mm) handle hotter chips. Check the cooler's height against your case clearance, and confirm radiator support, before buying.

  • TDP rating — must meet or exceed your CPU's heat output.
  • Socket compatibility — relevant for mounting on your CPU.
  • Air vs AIO liquid — relevant for cooling capacity, noise, and clearance.
  • Height / radiator size — relevant for case fit (air-cooler height, 240/280/360mm radiators).
  • Noise (dBA) — relevant for how quiet the build runs.

Case Guide

The case is the chassis everything mounts into. Match its form factor to your motherboard (ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX) and check the key clearances: GPU length, CPU cooler height, and radiator support. Good airflow — a mesh front and room for intake and exhaust fans — keeps temperatures and noise down. Confirm it takes a standard ATX PSU and fits your drives.

  • Form factor — must match your motherboard (ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX).
  • GPU clearance — relevant for fitting long graphics cards.
  • Cooler clearance — relevant for tall air coolers and radiators.
  • Airflow — relevant for temperatures and noise (mesh front, fan mounts).
  • Drive bays & PSU support — relevant for storage and fitting a standard ATX PSU.

Price vs Capacity

Storage Guide

Storage holds your OS, games, and files. NVMe SSDs (M.2, PCIe Gen3/4/5) are far faster than SATA SSDs, which in turn beat mechanical hard drives (HDDs). Use an NVMe SSD for Windows and applications — 1TB is a comfortable starting point. HDDs remain the cheapest way to store large media libraries. For heavy write workloads, check the drive's rated endurance (TBW).

  • NVMe SSD (M.2) — fastest; relevant for OS, apps, and game load times.
  • SATA SSD — fast and inexpensive; relevant for secondary storage.
  • HDD — slowest but cheapest per TB; relevant for bulk media storage.
  • Capacity — relevant for how much you can hold (1TB is a comfortable start).
  • PCIe generation (Gen3/4/5) — relevant for peak speed; Gen4 is plenty for most.
  • TBW (endurance) — relevant for heavy, sustained write workloads.

Add-on Guide

Add-ons are the optional extras that round out a build: case fans for airflow, Wi-Fi or Bluetooth adapters for connectivity, capture cards for streaming, and RGB or fan controllers. None are required to boot, but they improve cooling, connectivity, or looks. Buy these last, once your core parts and budget are settled.

  • Case fans — relevant for improving airflow and temperatures.
  • Wi-Fi / Bluetooth adapters — relevant if your motherboard lacks them.
  • Capture cards — relevant for streaming or recording from a console.
  • Fan / RGB controllers — relevant for managing many fans or lighting.
  • Thermal paste — relevant when reseating or upgrading a cooler.
