7 Things to Look for in a New Desktop PC

Need a new computer? There are so many models on the market with different specs, it can be overwhelming to figure out which one suits your needs. In this blog post, we'll teach you the basics of what to look for in your next desktop PC. Armed with this knowledge, you'll be able to make an informed purchase decision and set up your new PC without any hassles!

-Processor: The processor dictates how quickly the machine operates, so it’s important to find one that is powerful enough for your uses. The speed of the processor, measured in gigahertz (GHz), determines its maximum capacity. For example, if you are a gamer or use programs like Photoshop and Dreamweaver for your work, you will want a processor of at least 3 GHz. If you just surf the web and check email, a 2 GHz processor should be fine.

- RAM: RAM determines how quickly your PC can process information and how many programs it can run at once. Larger programs such as databases need more RAM to run smoothly. So if you do a lot of web design or graphic editing with your PC, you will want as much as 4 GB of RAM or higher. If you're just a casual user, 2 GB should be sufficient.

- Storage: Hard drives store your programs, operating system, email and other files. You will need a minimum of 1 TB of storage space, although the more your computer can hold the better (up to 2 TB). Big files such as music files and video games may need more room.

- Display: There are different types of displays available. The first one is a CRT (Cathode Ray Tube) display, which includes older models that tend to be larger and are less energy efficient than flat panel displays such as LCDs (Liquid Crystal Displays).
