Custom PCs
are the reason I became an engineer. While many people associate custom PCs with gaming, the reality is much broader. A well-built custom PC can last for years, benefiting both the environment and your wallet.
The Cost of Frequent Upgrades
Imagine buying a new computer every year. That would be expensive, right? Surprisingly, many people are already doing this without realizing it. Your smartphone is a computer, but it’s not designed for intensive tasks like editing videos—it’s only meant for consuming content.
Understanding CPUs: x86 vs. ARM
Let’s revisit some basic computer science. The CPU, or the brain of your computer, in a PC is an x86 CPU, while your phone uses an ARM CPU. ARM CPUs are efficient for specific tasks but can’t match the versatility of x86 CPUs, which can handle complex problems and even land a person on the moon.
Don’t Settle for Smartphones or Consoles for Intensive Tasks
Avoid the trap of using smartphones for demanding tasks, including gaming. Consoles are great for gaming, but that’s all they can do. A custom PC, on the other hand, can handle a wide range of applications—from 3D modeling and video editing to machine learning and big data science.
The False Economy of Cheap Notebooks
Consider this analogy: In a rainy season, Person-A buys cheap slippers and has to replace them frequently, while Person-B buys durable boots and spends less over time. Cheap notebooks are like those slippers — they may save you money initially but will cost more in the long run.
Portability vs. Performance
Sure, laptops offer portability, but they come with limitations. Gaming laptops are marketed as powerful, but they often fall short of true gaming desktops in terms of performance and upgradeability. Plus, they can be fragile and costly to repair.
The Versatility of Custom PCs
Custom PCs are not just about gaming. They offer unparalleled flexibility and performance. Need a high-end GPU for gaming? It’s cheaper than a console. Want 128GB of RAM for multitasking? No problem. Concerned about overheating? Add a liquid cooler.
Performance and Aesthetics
Custom PCs deliver superior performance thanks to better cooling solutions and the ability to upgrade components. And let’s not forget—they look amazing. RGB lighting and custom cases allow you to personalize your setup to match your style.
Building Your Custom PC
Building a custom PC might seem daunting, but it’s incredibly rewarding. Start by researching the best hardware for your needs, using online resources and reviews. Use configurators to play around with your budget and pick your components. You can even email us for advice on optimizing your build.
If the idea of building a PC from scratch feels overwhelming, you’re in the right place. We can guide you through the process or even build it for you. Thank you for reading!
