Choosing a Family Computer System - Tips for buying Family Computer System

A home computer

Choose a family computer these days should not be a complex task that many software packages out there are designed for people who use computers to it a range of activities such as games, business or simple home.
Another service very large number of computer stores offer allows you to customize the type of computer you want to buy buy selecting all the components / parts of the computer, including CPU, motherboard, case etc, to you can get what you really want and do not end up with some of these packages that look good in some areas and are really lacking in other (usually the hard disk space and RAM / Memory)
Important Considerations
 
Budget
Of course, the most important is your budget when purchasing your home computer and it will eventually choose the type of computer and how powerful it is, how much memory you have and your hard disk space. For a decent computer, which does not need upgrading for a while you might look around 600 to 900 U.S. dollars but there are many other cheaper options out there especially when you know what you want and the computer will be used.  When on a budget, knowing what elements you want in your computer is the most important thing because it allows you to spend more in the region that require more attention. (Example: A computer used primarily for work purposes and the Internet does not require a high level of graphics card and a mid-range processor will be sufficient)
 
Computers are becoming increasingly advanced and when your purchases of parts or package does not seem for the better because it will not after 3 months time to find something you can afford and think about upgrade selected components within the package in the future for a extra kick without too much extra money needed
Things to look for when buying Computer Packages
 
Operating System
A very common problem, you'll see in the packets are companies offering home basic Windows Vista operating system that came with your computer. I would advice people to stay away from the home edition as it runs slow for me and I found a little buggy. At the time Vista has not been very well received with open arms and lots of people stick to Windows XP Professional or a version of Vista that is not home edition. Also of note is that Windows Vista will hog a lot of valuable hard disk space.
 
Graphics Card
If you see your package in an integrated graphics card, it means that the card is built into your motherboard and indicates that this is not a powerful graphics card and you'll be a little disappointed if one day you or your children try playing a game and find yourself unable to play because of the run to better poorly.Its get a decent graphics card to your computer for the family to keep everyone happy.
 
DVD Player / Recorder
These days DVD burners are very cheap if you see anything less than a DVD set I would ask whether you could get one or try another package. You can buy DVD burners now for about 10 U.S. and they are capable of reading CD's and DVD's and burning them too.I must for a family computer to view and burn your favorite DVD.
 
Warranty
Remember to check the warranty details of your package for exactly what it covers and what kind of things will void your warranty. Most computer security varies from 6 months to 3 years depending on the part

Most major pieces of Family ComputerSelect your components
This part will go through the main parts of the computer, you should look when customizing your computer from parts or purchase a package and I hope I can help you find the pieces that stand out and others do not.
 
CPU (Central Processing Unit)
The processor is the main component that runs on your computer and this component will determine most of your computers speed and processing power. As I write this CPU hub with a dropping in price dramatically, and a CPU very affordable and quality go for the Intel Core 2 Duo processors that the introduction of Quad core CPU has dropped the Intel Core 2 Duo is a little bit. I would recommend staying away from Celeron CPUs as they are old enough and you can find packages offering these old slow CPU.
AMD / INTEL - There are two main manufacturers of computers and CPUs are Intel and AMD and its really a personal preference that you go, but generally players will go for AMD and Intel for most other applications, said It doesn 't say AMD can not do things Intel can make its way to your budget and especially the choice. Another thing to note that I intend to use AMD to power just over Intels is another consideration.
 
Motherboard
Choosing a motherboard can be quite a pain and it is really determined by the type of processor you can buy the processor is mounted on the motherboard to be sure that the motherboard can take load and is compatible with your chosen processor. The easiest way is to go to your local computer store and ask them to recommend a compatible motherboard and affordable not need to go in search of that area, unless you're a computer guru and real you want to get all the speed you can even from your motherboard.
 
Memory / Ram
The type of ram / memory you get will depend on the motherboard and the types it can handle. So ask your computer store and the RAM on your motherboard is the easiest way. It is recommended for 1 to 2 GB of memory to run your computer easily as Windows Vista requires at least 1 GB if I remember correctly, all these fancy graphics and icons at a price.
 
HDD
There are also many brands of hard disk such as Seagate, Western Digital, Samsung and the choice depends on your personal preferences as they do not differ that much. HDD prices have dropped a lot in recent years and the size you choose will depend on what type of files you will need to store on your computer. A safe is to go with around120GB if you do not download many games / movies or install many programs and applications.
 
Graphics / video
When choosing a video card is the best way to choose a video card midrange cheap but high-end, somewhere in the middle. This should allow you to play the latest games and also play high definition video on your computer without lag.
