Reader's reviews

As a first-time builder, I was overwhelmed with choices. This blog broke everything down in a way that made sense and helped me choose parts that worked well together.
Michael Grant
As a 3D designer, I needed a workstation that wouldn't lag under load. Their article on balancing CPU and GPU helped me find a configuration that delivers real results.
Luis Herrera
I almost bought incompatible RAM and a weak PSU. Thanks to their upgrade guide, I fixed my plans and now have a future-proof setup.

Frequently asked questions

It depends on your use, but for mixed workloads (light editing, casual gaming), $800–$1,000 is a good starting point.

Yes. Start with identifying the current bottlenecks: storage, RAM, or CPU. Then check what your motherboard supports.

Not necessarily. Many modern CPUs come with integrated graphics good enough for spreadsheets, browsing, and light media use.

Use PC part compatibility tools, check socket/chipset info, and review motherboard manuals. Our guides cover this in detail.

A good air cooler or a 240mm AIO liquid cooler is recommended for high-performance CPUs. Always factor in case airflow.
