Hi peeps, I was going to write a guide on building a gaming PC until I started typing out the article and realised the vast amount of information I'll have to cover. Instead, I will break it down into several 'WYNTK' posts. Personally, I don't like reading very long articles, I prefer small chunks of useful information. So please follow so you know when these posts are ed.
Gaming PC's will always have the following core components
1. Motherboard (Intel or AMD) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3268453/amd-motherboard-wyntk
2. Processor (Intel or AMD) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3268965/us-wyntk
3. RAM (several manufacturers) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3269181/ram-gaming-pc-wyntk
4. Storage (several manufacturers) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3271053/storage-gaming-pc-wyntk
5. Graphic/Video card (Nvidia or AMD) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3271154/graphic-cards-wyntk
6. Power Suplly (several manufacturers) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3271917/power-supply-gaming-pc-wyntk
7. Case fans (several manufacturers) - https://nairaland.macsoftware.info/3286375/case-fans-gaming-pc-wyntk
8. All of these housed in a Case.

All !

To be frank, the rig setup links are convoluted as they are and I won't be assed into understanding the sh1t, just yet.




P.S. How'd this referral topic end up as first on the page.

Surely, "Updates and news" needs sticking too.

Can't stick everything - only 4 slots. I tend stick 2 random threads along with the 2 permanent threads (gaming help & rules//complaints) on the gaming page. I'm surprised you hadn't noticed. I found this informative for those who would like to get more info about setting up their own rig, and since I can't stick everything (like I said earlier), the referral page is the best option.

Yeah! it should help em. Too bad only two slots are accorded.

I'm surprised that you are surprised that I hadn't noticed.

For a second there I thought the fora was over-run by PC gamers.

Where is hakinze when you need him!
It's been almost 24 hrs since the last update.
I'm dying out here!

I think comments should be closed off on this thread so the first post with links remains on page one where anyone access it. Questions can be asked on the related posts.

Thanks for your response.

I am not into gaming as such but I need a desktop pc that i can use online in some games website and a pc that can take some high end software without parking up:
For example, PC with dedicated graphics card, Intel HD graphics of 5000+ nvida
4Ghz processor
1 - 2 tb hard disk etc.

Look, I am not a tech person but I need a desktop pc that can work well on games website stress free.

Thanks in advance

Thanks

Well, if you put it that way. One can build using an Intel Q6600 (quad core U) this will be good for multitasking. 4GB RAM and perhaps a GT730. For that money it think it'll have to be a 500GB HDD or one with an AMD A6-6400K processor which is only a dual core and decent integrated graphics (HD 8470D), 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD. These aren't great gaming PC, but should run website based games fine.

Major issue is finding the components in Nigeria or if you can afford to have it shipped from the UK or US.

Guys can a laptop intel n3700 4gb ram ,512 v ram play FIFA 16,FIFA 15

What do you need me to do? Should I yab his life or yab his life?

asher15:

What's the graphic processing unit in it.
It's the GPU that is important, you need to give us the GPU of the system, Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 or AMD radeon HD 5770 is the least minimum GPU requirement required to play it.

But to be on the safe side get a Hp Envy for Christ's sakes. Last generation laptops(the envy 17 model) are not upto 150k and dey come with Intel core i7 6th generation and AMD Radeon HD 6850M.

My advise to you is to get that to play Fifa16 cos tomorrow now Fifa 17 would come out and other games still dey.

Get a proper laptop and lots of external harddrives with atleast a terabyte to spare. Dey are not expensive. ”fullstop over to you AKBliv010”

See as I just dey observe . . . computer wizard plenty for here o Make I just no comment for here before this guy silkmoth start to dey tab or tab me too
