"Do you have a computer that is already obsolete

? Does it take forever even to download a single file? You have a really tight financial situation but you can't compromise quality. Ever thought about building your own computer with the use of materials and parts that are very affordable? Try looking for computer parts online that are cheap and try to put it together. You now have your own computer.

If you're serious about this project, first begin by making one of three choices: buy a model which came out six months earlier, assemble a computer from individual computer parts, or get a limited-warranty refurbished computer.

What is this computer for? Are you going to use it for word processing and Internet browsing or if are you going to use it for advanced functions like graphics editing and other multimedia programs. These are very important so that you can get your money's worth.

If you have already decided what the computer is for, then it's time to configure it. What accessories do you need? CPU, RAM and motherboard, casing and power supply, mouse, keyboard and of course the monitor are the basic parts. Add in a sound card and a video card. These can allow you to view online videos. You can also add a CD player which can read compact discs only, or a CD/DVD player which can read a compact disc and a digital video disc, or a CD/DVD writer which not only reads both formats but can also burn CDs and DVDs. These however are optional if you chose to put in a USB instead.

If you will use the computer for multimedia purposes, then your choice of the motherboard and the video card would matter. You will need higher specifications for the motherboard and the video card if you will use it for graphic editing. If you will be using it for gaming, then you will also need higher specifications. Your motherboard should have extra slots. These can allow you to upgrade your RAM by simply adding memory cards.

A lower power supply is ideal for the casing if you will only use it for word processing and Internet surfing. But you will need a higher power supply if you use it for multimedia purposes. A casing that has a lot of vents for fans is also idea since a multimedia PC will need a lot of air and ventilation since it takes up a lot of heat.
