Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by AKBliv010(m): 9:48am On Aug 04, 2016 |
Hi peeps, I was going to write a guide on building a gaming PC until I started typing out the article and realised the vast amount of information I'll have to cover. Instead, I will break it down into several 'WYNTK' posts. Personally, I don't like reading very long articles, I prefer small chunks of useful information. So please follow so you know when these posts are uploaded. Gaming PC's will always have the following core components 1. Motherboard (Intel or AMD) - https://www.nairaland.com/3267934/motherboards-intel-wyntk, https://www.nairaland.com/3268453/amd-motherboard-wyntk 2. Processor (Intel or AMD) - https://www.nairaland.com/3268965/cpus-wyntk 3. RAM (several manufacturers) - https://www.nairaland.com/3269181/ram-gaming-pc-wyntk 4. Storage (several manufacturers) - https://www.nairaland.com/3271053/storage-gaming-pc-wyntk 5. Graphic/Video card (Nvidia or AMD) - https://www.nairaland.com/3271154/graphic-cards-wyntk 6.

To be frank, the rig setup links are convoluted as they are and I won't be assed into understanding the sh1t, just yet. P.S. How'd this referral topic end up as first on the page. Surely, "Updates and news" needs sticking too. |
Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by cao(f): 4:12pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
Silkmoth33:Can't stick everything - only 4 slots. I tend stick 2 random threads along with the 2 permanent threads (gaming help & rules/feedback/complaints) on the gaming page. I'm surprised you hadn't noticed. I found this informative for those who would like to get more info about setting up their own rig, and since I can't stick everything (like I said earlier), the referral page is the best option. |
Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by Nobody: 4:28pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
cao: Yeah! it should help em. Too bad only two slots are accorded. I'm surprised that you are surprised that I hadn't noticed. For a second there I thought the fora was over-run by PC gamers. Where is hakinze when you need him! It's been almost 24 hrs since the last update. I'm dying out here! |
Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by AKBliv010(m): 4:29pm On Aug 13, 2016 |
cao:I think comments should be closed off on this thread so the first post with links remains on page one where anyone access it. Questions can be asked on the related posts. |

AKBliv010: Eh! That's not how that works! |

Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by AKBliv010(m): 12:47pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
ican2020:No chance bruv! Even if you buy used parts. |
Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by Nobody: 1:09pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
AKBliv010: Lol! Even in the computer, computer market, technology market and phones fora or sections you will see all sorts of funny requests. Can't really blame em tho. |
Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by ican2020: 1:31pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
AKBliv010:Thanks for your response. I am not into gaming as such but I need a desktop pc that i can use online in some games website and a pc that can take some high end software without parking up: For example, PC with dedicated graphics card, Intel HD graphics of 5000+ nvida 4Ghz processor 1 - 2 tb hard disk etc. Look, I am not a tech person but I need a desktop pc that can work well on games website stress free. Thanks in advance Thanks |
Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by AKBliv010(m): 2:09pm On Aug 16, 2016 |
ican2020: Well, if you put it that way. One can build using an Intel Q6600 (quad core CPU) this will be good for multitasking. 4GB RAM and perhaps a GT730. For that money it think it'll have to be a 500GB HDD or one with an AMD A6-6400K processor which is only a dual core and decent integrated graphics (HD 8470D), 8GB RAM, 1TB HDD. These aren't great gaming PC, but should run website based games fine. Major issue is finding the components in Nigeria or if you can afford to have it shipped from the UK or US. |

Re: Gaming PC - What You Need To Know (WYNTK) by Nobody: 11:26pm On Aug 18, 2016 |
asher15: What's the graphic processing unit in it. It's the GPU that is important, you need to give us the GPU of the system, Nvidia Geforce GTX 650 or AMD radeon HD 5770 is the least minimum GPU requirement required to play it. But to be on the safe side get a Hp Envy for Christ's sakes. Last generation laptops(the envy 17 model) are not upto 150k and dey come with Intel core i7 6th generation and AMD Radeon HD 6850M. My advise to you is to get that to play Fifa16 cos tomorrow now Fifa 17 would come out and other games still dey. Get a proper laptop and lots of external harddrives with atleast a terabyte to spare. Dey are not expensive. ”fullstop over to you AKBliv010” |
