PC Building is not an easy thing. From gamers, enthusiasts, students to government officials, businesses, industry organizations or YouTubers, video editors/photographers, people of different professions need computers based on different types of work. Many people have been buying custom PCs for the last decade without buying pre built pc. However, in this case for custom pc builds, due to lack of ideas on various issues, due to misconceptions, he/she may not be able to make the best PC according to his/her needs and budget; Again many are not able to get the best build even after long planning for a few small mistakes. Building your own pc that will be discussed today.

PC Building Tips: Think Before Buy
Core i3 or core i5 which will be faster?
This is a common idea of most people in our country that the core "i" to determine how good, how powerful the processor is. Core i5 means roughly and Core i7 means the most powerful PC. Many unscrupulous shopkeepers also take advantage of this, they only sell processors called Core i5 / 7 or 3, they don't talk about any generation, how many clock speeds its core threads, they just say Core i5 / 7 and lack of knowledge. , Buyers are deceived for unawareness, carelessness. The same thing happens with ready quotations.
Assuming very old processors like 2/3 / 4gen's core i5 / i7 / i3 whose core thread count, architecture everything else is much less and even Core i7 will work very slow now. That's why your heavy work will not be enough at all, you will not be able to do gaming at all, there may be heating problems. Note that the processors of the older generation core i5 / i7 are slower than the latest core i3 processors.
The number next to the Core I indicates only 3 levels of processors in a generation. 3,5,6 but never the number of cores and threads. Among the 3 processors of the same generation, entry-level (low price), medium (medium price), and high budget/flagship are named as follows. Of course in the case of the same generation, the matter of numbers is always true, i3 <i5 <i7 undoubtedly.
Not only in stores but also in sales, on websites like this where you see advertisements, there is only this Intel Core ix written to tell information about the processor. The tendency of many older processors to advertise in different ways and run through misinformation is much more common on those sites.
Ryzen / AMD's processor gets hot / breaks down quickly / doesn't last long
Another common misconception of pc building that AMD's Ryzen processors are hot is not entirely correct, as a large number of Ryzen processors have been sold and used all over the world in the last 3 years and are constantly growing. There is no evidence that the Raizen processor overheats or drops or loses performance after a while.
If there is a manufacturing fault, the heating issue/hut of that processor may be damaged. Remember a safe temperature, only above normal temperature will be considered heating. Many times your cooling system may be responsible for this, how is the airflow of the casing, how many fans are installed, etc. If the thermal paste is not applied properly, if low quality thermal paste is not applied or not applied at all or if the thermal paste dries out, the temperature can easily rise very quickly and go above the danger level.
What to do:
You must know the full details while buying a pc or building PC. Take a look at the processor box, the processor of which generation, how many core threads, you must know these. And our biggest problem is that we don't have a preconceived notion and a preconceived notion of the product before we go to buy it. In many cases, we are in complete darkness and because of this we have to be deceived or bad product comes.
PC Building with Old product / Discontinued product and a bunch of embarrassment
And in the case of the old products mentioned above, not only the performance but also the after-sales service can be a big problem for you. There are many products that have stopped manufacturing and servicing the brand long ago. These are just a few months after you buy them from the store. Or if it is damaged or there is a problem after years, you will not get the warranty even if you give it in the warranty. It is also seen that the shop related to the replacement/warranty/distribution of this product has stopped long ago.
Unique spare parts are often required for repairs but they are not available in the market due to their age. And in most cases, the small shops in the town or urban area depend entirely on the replacement or servicing, in both cases the big official importer in the central.
In that case, if it is found that the importer concerned does not have a replacement or spare parts and has stopped branding and marketing itself because it is old then there will be no solution for you. Older products like 2nd gen / 3rd gen processor, motherboard though or The shopkeeper can offer you a replacement and it will be seen whether it is old or second hand.
PC Building with Low budget Products: Inconsistency of products with budget
There are models of some products such as processors, graphics cards which are for extremely low budgets, these products are for those who build for 25-40 thousand rupees, whose budget is very tight and for simple work. Such as Ryzen 5,3 3400g, 2400g, 3200g, 2200g have internal graphics units and they will be taken by those who want to do entry level gaming, editing with a very low budget. In this case, there is no need to take an extra graphics card or the buyer does not have such a budget and if he wants to take it, there is no reason to take these processors at all.
In the case of Intel, such products are Core i3 10100 / f, 9100 / f, 8100 / f. Those who want to take PC in Extreme Low Budget i.e. 25-30 will take it.
Building PC with low budget: There are also some low-budget graphics cards for processors like 9100f, 10100f, or Raizen's 8/9 thousand rupees worth of graphics, such as GT 1030, 1050ti RX 560, etc. which are perfect with budget and processors.
But it is often seen that with these products, the buyer, due to lack of knowledge, pc building according to the shopkeeper. Which is not reasonable at all. Many people take a graphics card of 15-16 thousand rupees with 3400G and 2400G. Keep in mind that all of the above processors and graphics cards only apply to builds around 25-40 max 42,000 and go perfectly with your purpose and budget.
But whenever the budget is 50+, 55,60,75 / 60 thousand, you can easily take both the powerful processors of both Intel and AMD for 12/13 thousand rupees, you can take them and AMD with a budget of 15/20 thousand rupees and NVIDIA also has graphics cards that will work nicely with those processors without a bottleneck, the build will also be Value for Money and much balanced and you will be able to get the maximum performance. Due to the suggestion, the buyer is taking a lot of cheap but with a high price motherboard, which is a completely unreasonable and wrong decision.
PC Building Inconsistency:
The graphics card is much weaker than the processor or the processor is much weaker than the graphics card, so you don't get good performance in your build.
Graphics card: the better the GB ????
This is one of the most common misconceptions about graphics cards. Graphics memory is important, of course, but how good and powerful a graphics card is not just determined by "GB". Like processors, it has many components, it has speed, it has a core, it has all the internal factors on which performance depends. Which of the two cards is better, in which case the memory capacity comes much later. Processor architecture, its core clock, boost clock memory clock, number of Cuda Cores/stream processors, a memory bus, etc. are very important.
Advertisements are given in the quotations of muffs all shops or on various shopping sites: graphics 2GB gaming HD or something like that. Even the brand name is not there. Seeing that, many people fall in love and think that the product is good and take it without any discrimination. Moffsball stores also have graphics that are calculated in GB and highlighted in terms of GB.
More RAM Faster PC
Yes no, not a single drop of RAM makes your PC fast. RAM is basically a place where real-time data processing of any running process or application is done. This means that the more space you have, the more space you can have (depending on the capacity of the processor and other components). This means that more RAM does not make the PC faster but allows it to run many applications simultaneously.
In other words, if x> y, 10 applications can be run on a GB RAM PC (in the same software environment), more than 10 applications can be run on a PC with x GB RAM. You need to try to figure out how many GB of RAM may be needed for the purpose you are building or doing. Taking too much of it is in many cases nothing but a waste.
We have an article detailing how many GB of RAM, graphics cards will be needed, you can see.
How many GB of RAM and graphics card is enough for gaming
The trap of the word "building a gaming pc": Know the truth
Adding the word Gaming to the name of any product with RGB / LED Backlight and highlighting it especially during the promotion of the product in any media. First of all, the word gaming does not provide information about the quality of the product in 90% of the cases, the word gaming only means that it is not a product specially prepared for playing games, quality and performance have nothing to do with having RGB / LED. Lights do not prove that the product's build quality, internal materials are much better and performance is much better. There is no reason to think that it will last long.
Yes, it is true that the designs are done in such a way that the lights and decorations are done in such a way that most people like to look at the beginning. But it has nothing to do with performance and the idea that a product with a gaming name is only good and multiplies from a product without a gaming name means that it is good.
There are thousands of examples where the build quality of the product without Non-RGB / Light is very solid, the materials are very high quality, the design is beautiful and the quality of the inner components is very good and at the same time, it lasts for a long time without any problem and at the same time very low build quality. There are examples of so-called "gaming" components with light produced by low-quality raw materials, which quickly deteriorate, become unusable, burn out, and become unusable / broken within a few days.
There are many nongaming products whose build quality, raw material quality, design, performance, durability are all better than the so-called RGB / Gaming products. Their build quality, durability are very low, after a while various problems arise.
There are a lot of components these days that have nothing to do with gaming performance at all, but with the name gaming, and lighting. Such as power supply and SSD. Remember an extra light will not give you an extra FPS or clock speed.
Gaming / RGB Power Supply using in PC Building?
The importance of the power supply among the computer components and how sensitive it is is a part of the computer, the details are written below. But nowadays it is seen that the quality, whatever the inner condition is associated with its name, is RGB / Gaming. As a result, buyers are attracted, buying without knowing the quality of these, putting your expensive PCT at risk. However, if this power supply is from a well-known brand, then there is no risk. You just have to be more discriminating with the help you render toward other people.
Gaming / RGB SSD using in PC Building?
Secondly, in the case of SSD, SSD does not affect gaming performance at all, it reduces PC software loading time, Windows Boot Time and game loading time (in some cases), PC works overall fast, copy, cut, paste data movement. Can be done quickly. (Depending on the elements including Nand Chip, Memory Controller, DRAM, Cache, Channel, etc., the better these elements are, the better the quality, the better the technology, the better the performance, durability. Depending on the speed). You can read our videos and articles to know all the information from basic to advanced level of SSD:
But there is no direct match with the gaming performance of the SSD but the name of the gaming is highlighted and promoted with RGB, the buyer is attracted and buys something without searching. In most cases, the quality of these SSDs is not up to standard, life expectancy is gone, speed goes down fast, various problems are seen. Although there are exceptions, continuing to call everything gaming is not a good practice.
Gaming / RGB Casing?
Thirdly, I will end the part of the example by discussing another component, which is the casing. With the name of the gaming and the presence of RGB / Backlight, the epidemic has taken shape in the case of this particular component. 90% of people like the look and look of the exterior and do not see the build quality, airflow, how many fans there are, what kind of space is inside, how many fans are there, etc.
There are a lot of cheap Chinese brands who take advantage of this and put RGB on the lighted fan or casing under the name Gaming and it is seen that their condition inside is not very good, there is not enough airflow system, space is not available, no building materials facility, fan installation system. No, what is there is inferior. In the case of internal thermal performance which has a strong negative effect. And needless to say, the casing has no role in gaming performance at all, there is thermal health of the components of your PC. And in the midst of all these RGB / Gaming tags, there are still doubts about how sure it is.
Manufacturers themselves are making RGB / Gaming products, highlighting, promoting in the media. But if they are from a well-known brand, then in most cases it is not a problem. But the problem is that besides popular and reliable brands, there is no shortage of unnamed Chinese brands who have such power supply, SSD, or casing in the name of Gaming / RGB. All these products are handed over to the city through the promise of misleading the buyers of moose balls, much better, will last longer, more beautiful to look at, the best product, getting everything for less money, etc.
What to do in PC Building:
First of all, the word gaming always means that gaming with the product will be good/only gaming will be done / nothing else can be done or it will not be good.
Secondly, in this long discussion, it is hoped that you will understand a lot. Finding out more about the product, seeing the reviews, doing the research are all things that can and should be done. Correct the misconceptions from here and keep an eye on the important aspects of the related product while taking the next product. Not towards the flashing of light or the sound of gaming.
*** The images used above are not used as examples of bad RGB or so-called gaming products. They are each one of the best products in their respective categories ***
Power supply: The more power, the more power consumption?
There is another idea prevalent in society that if a power supply of higher power capacity is installed in the PC, it consumes much more electricity. In fact, this is not the case. Power Supply does not push power, Components draw or take power as required. This means that as much power as your component needs will be used. The full capacity of the power supply is never supplied.
At the same time, many people think that a power supply of high capacity can damage the computer component, but as mentioned above, there is no possibility of damage to the component due to excess power because the PSU does not push the power or send it to the component automatically. Rather the components take or draw power as per the demand. So as much power as needed will be supplied or drawn from the power supply. Instead, if you buy a more wattage power supply, then you may need to upgrade to a PC, that is, if you want to install a more powerful graphics card/processor, you may not have to buy a new power supply. That means costs can be reduced.
Use of such power supply
Many people use the Chinese power supply provided with any power supply or casing as there is still a lack of knowledge on this subject in PC building. Many people do not know that it is the most sensitive part of the computer. Adequate inflow/outflow of voltage/current / irregularity is much more important for the health of your components.
The parts inside the power supplies that come with the casing are very low quality, their boards, capacitors, regulators, circuits, resistance, and even the cable or wires are very low quality. The readings on the power supply, that is, the values of a volt, current, the maximum power values, these, and whatever is written are not accurate, in fact, the power supply can not give the output of that many watts.
Therefore, running a PC on all these power supplies can damage components such as the motherboard, hard drive, processor, or graphics card, in many cases shutting down repeatedly, restarting, not wanting to start, turning off or restarting while playing games or doing heavy work, etc. The problem is always using this type of power supply.
What to do in that case, within 3/4 thousand you will get the power supply of various well-known brands whose internal components are very good, cable quality, efficiency and these are also very good. And depending on the capacity. Your components will be protected. Must come with 3 to 5-year warranty.
What to do: Some preparations and precautions -
First, you need to confirm the purpose and total budget of your PC building don't go for a cheap custom pc build.
Since the present age is the age of technology and the internet, you can easily get the basic idea about all the components of the build, price, variant by sitting at home using its correct and maximum.
There are lots of groups, tech channels through social media. These will help you. Be sure to try to find information from multiple places, not just a specific channel group or individual.
Many times, despite having a plan, they go to the market and do not get the components and fall into the shop's suggestion or fall into the trap. Many build the PC with those bad components. / 5 Select some more models as a backup or second choice so that you can take one without getting another.
Another mistake many people make is rushing to build. If you don't get the component, take some time, visit a few more shops and then make a decision. If you don't get the component, you can go back and wait a few more days.
Know and remember the number of brands available for each component, brand name, origin as much as possible. It may be that in many cases the shopkeeper is showing you only one or two brands of products and encouraging you to buy them, reluctant to show the rest of the brand's products. There are a number of reasons why a shopkeeper may not want to sell or show you another brand of product. Secondly, the product has been unsold for a long time so he will try his best to sell it. This is why it is seen that working salesmen are reluctant to show many quality products and despite being of relatively poor quality, they are tempted to take specially branded products. You have to be careful to avoid these and you have to be aware. There is no substitute for more research.
You may be tricked into getting help, many groups or pages may call you in the inbox or in a private message in the comment box, it can be a terrible fad, he may message you to sell his personal second-hand product, his acquaintance or his own shop To force you to buy the product. Doing so could hurt you.
Conclusion
Hopefully, I have been able to correct many of your misconceptions in the above discussion and at the same time I have been able to give the right guidelines. Hard money can build the best. Then our hard work is selfish.
