Choosing a Graphics Card (GPU)

If you are building a PC to be able to play games, the graphics card or Graphical Processing Unit (GPU) will probably be one of the most expensive components after the CPU. GPUs seem to be improved and updated at a faster pace than almost any other item you will fit into your computer and keeping up with the latest cutting edge tech can be very expensive. For our build we have chosen a card which offers a good mix of features and at a reasonable price.

Adding the Power Supply Unit

When you think about the important components of a PC build, it is fairly easy to overlook the Power Supply unit or PSU. However, if you do not match the PSU correctly with your other components, especially the graphics card, you may see a whole range of problems occur when you finally get the PC up and running. From simply not having the power to turn on, to intermittent crashes when gaming and random hardware faults, a weak or poor quality PSU is trouble.
