An interesting topic and always relevant is how to increase the speed of a computer. In the modern world, the race over time is becoming more and more interesting, everyone gets out as best he can. And the computer plays far from the last role here. How can he infuriate with ridiculous brakes at a crucial moment! At this moment, I am visited by such thoughts: “pipets, well, I’m not doing anything like that! where are the brakes from? ”
In this article, I will analyze the 10 most effective ways to increase computer performance.
Replacement Parts
The most obvious way is to replace the computer with something more powerful, we will not consider it 🙂 But it is quite possible to replace any spare part (component). You just need to figure out what can be replaced by spending less money, and getting the maximum increase in computer speed.
A. CPU It is worth replacing if the new one is at least 30% faster than the installed one. Otherwise, there will be no noticeable increase in productivity, but a lot of money will be required.
Extreme sportsmen can try to overclock their processor. The method is not for everyone, but nevertheless it allows you to postpone the upgrade of the processor for another year or two, if the overclocking potential of the motherboard and processor allows. It consists in increasing the nominal frequencies of the central processor, video card and / or RAM. Complicated by the individual features of a particular configuration and the possibility of premature failure of it.
B. RAM. Definitely need to add if during operation all the memory is loaded. We look through the "Task Manager", if at the peak of work (when everything that can be opened is open) up to 80% of RAM is loaded, it is better to increase it by 50-100%. Fortunately, she is worth a penny now.
C. HDD. It's not about the size of the disk, but its speed. If you have a slow hard drive from an economical series with a spindle speed of 5400 rpm, then replacing it with a more expensive one with a speed of 7200 rpm and a higher recording density will add performance. In all cases, replacing the SSD-drive smiles very users 🙂 The performance before and after is completely different.
It is approximately possible to identify a bottleneck in the computer configuration using the standard Windows 7 performance tool. To do this, go to "Control Panel -\u003e System" and click "Measure Performance" or "Update". The overall performance is determined by the lowest rate, so you can determine the weak link. For example, if the hard drive rating is much less than the processor and RAM rating, then you need to think about replacing it with a more productive one.
Computer repair, cleaning
The computer may slow down due to some kind of malfunction, and a simple repair will help increase speed. For example, in case of malfunctions of the processor cooling system, its clock frequency is greatly underestimated, and as a result, performance decreases. It can still be trivial to slow down due to the components of the motherboard due to heavy dust! So first, try to clean the system unit thoroughly.
Defragment and free disk space
If you have never heard what it is or have not done for a long time, then this is the first thing that will need to be done to increase the speed of your computer. Defragmentation collects the information on the hard disk in pieces in one piece, which reduces the number of movements of the read head and increases productivity.
The absence of at least 1 GB of free space on the system disk (where the operating system is installed) can also cause a decrease in overall performance. Watch for free space on your drives. By the way, for the defragmentation process, it is desirable to have at least 30% free space.
Reinstalling the Windows XP / 7/10 operating system
Reinstalling 90% allows you to increase the speed of the computer by 1.5-3 times, depending on its "contamination." This OS is so arranged that over time it needs to be reinstalled 🙁 I know people who “interrupt Windows” several times a week. I am not a supporter of this method, I try to optimize the system, get to the bottom of the true source of brakes, but still, I re-install the system somewhere once a year, and this is due to the fact that some components change.
In principle, if I didn’t have such a lot of programs, then you can live 5-10 years without reinstalling. But this is rare, for example, in some offices where only 1C: Accounting and Microsoft Office are installed, and nothing has changed for years. I know such a company, Windows 2000 has been standing there for more than 10 years and works fine ... But in general, reinstalling is a good way if you do not know how to increase the speed of your computer.
Using software optimizers operating system settings
Sometimes you can significantly increase the comfort of work with the help of special programs. And in most cases, this is almost the only simple, fast and suitable method. About one good program called I wrote earlier.
You can also try the good PCMedic utility. It is paid, but it’s not a problem 🙂 The highlight of the program in a fully automated process. The whole program consists of one window in which you need to choose your operating system, processor manufacturer (Intel, AMD or another) and the type of optimization - Heal (only cleaning) or Heal & Boost (cleaning plus acceleration). Press the “GO” button and that’s it.
And one of the most powerful programs is Auslogics BoostSpeed, although it is also paid, but there is a trial version. This is a real monster, which includes several utilities to increase computer performance on all fronts. There is an optimizer, a defragmenter, and cleaning the computer of unnecessary files, and cleaning the registry, and the Internet accelerator and some other utilities.
Interestingly, the program has an adviser that tells you what needs to be done. But always check what is advised there, do not use everything indiscriminately. For example, the adviser really wants Windows automatic updating to work. Those who did not buy licensed Windows know that this may end badly ...
For optimization, there are also cleaner programs, for example CCleaner, which clean the computer from unnecessary temporary files and clean the registry. Removing debris from disks will help free up space.
But cleaning the registry does not lead to a noticeable increase in performance, however, it can lead to problems if important keys are deleted.
IMPORTANT! Before any changes must be!
MANDATORY Browse all that cleaners want to remove! I scanned my Auslogics Disk Cleaner computer and at first was glad that I had 25GB of garbage in my basket. But remembering that I was recently cleaning the basket, I opened the files prepared for deletion in this program and just went nuts! There were ALL of my most important files, my whole life over the past few months. And they didn’t lie in the basket, but in a separate folder on drive D. This would be deleted if I hadn’t looked.
In Windows 7, you can slightly increase productivity by simplifying the graphical interface. To do this, go to "Control Panel -\u003e System -\u003e Advanced -\u003e Settings" and turn off some of the checkmarks or select "Ensure the best performance."
Motherboard BIOS Parameters
The BIOS stores the most basic computer settings. You can enter it when you turn on the computer using the Delete, F2, F10 or some other key (written on the screen while turning on the computer). A strong decrease in performance can only be due to critical jambs in the settings. Usually he is set up normally and there is no need to interfere there, and even harmful.
The easiest way to fix the optimal settings is to go into the BIOS and select an option such as “Load Optimal Settings” (the spelling may differ depending on the BIOS’s), save the settings and reboot.
Disabling unnecessary services and programs from startup
Today, almost every second installed program climbs its nose into startup. As a result, the loading of the operating system is delayed indefinitely, and the work itself is inhibited. Look at the system tray (it's near the watch), how many unnecessary icons are there? It is worth removing unnecessary programs or disabling their startup from startup.
This is easily done using the System Configuration Utility built into Windows. To start it, click the combination "Win + R" and in the window enter "msconfig". In the program, go to the "Startup" tab and remove the extra checkmarks. If after rebooting something is missing, then the checkmarks can be returned back. You should have an idea what programs you have installed and.
One powerful way to increase performance is ... disabling the antivirus 🙂 Bad of course, but for the duration of resource-intensive tasks, I sometimes disable the antivirus.
No need to do this while surfing the web or installing unknown software!
Install the latest drivers
This can really help, especially if very old or default drivers are installed (by default from Microsoft). The main influence is played by the drivers of the chipset of the motherboard, but others can also slow down. You need to update drivers for each device, and you can find them on the manufacturers' websites.
Updating drivers is best done manually, but there are many programs for updating drivers automatically. For example, a good one will scan devices and look for updated drivers.
Reasonably choose an operating system
If you are still sitting on Windows XP with 2 gigabytes of RAM, then I advise you to quickly switch to Windows 7, productivity will increase. And if you have 4 GB or more, then safely install Windows 10 64-bit version. The speed of work will increase even more, but only in 64-bit programs. Processing video, audio and other demanding tasks can be processed 1.5-2 times faster! Windows Vista is also the time to change to seven.
Do not use various Windows builds for installation, such as Windows Zver and the like. They are already crammed with necessary and unnecessary software, moreover, they are often buggy.
Viruses
Although they are in tenth place, this does not mean at all that they do not need to be paid attention to. Viruses can significantly slow down your computer or even freeze it. If there is a strange decrease in performance, then it is worth scanning the system with one of the scanners, for example. But it is better to have a reliable antivirus installed, for example, DrWeb or Kaspersky Anti-Virus.
In this article, we examined the basic methods of how to increase the speed of a computer. I hope this article helped you save the most important thing in our life - this is the time that should be used productively, every hour and every minute, and not be wasted. In the following articles, I will repeatedly touch upon the topic of increasing computer performance, subscribe to blog updates.
Interesting video for today - incredible ping pong!

- The first option looked like this:
- Processor AMD FX 8150 - 5030 rubles;
- Gigabyte GA-970A-UD3P motherboard - 2260 rubles;
- Cooling device (cooler) ZALMAN NVIDIA - 1470 rubles;
- Video card GIGABYTE GTX 760 OC-2GD - 11,130 rubles;
- 8GB memory module (DDR3 - 4GB 1333 x2) - 2780 rubles;
- Hard drive WD Caviar Black WD5003ABYX - 500GB - 3450 rubles;
- Case ATX ACCORD P-26B, Midi-Tower, black - 1050 rubles;
- Power supply unit Chieftec GPS-450 - 1530 rubles;
- Optical drive DVD-RW LG GH24NSC0 - 770 rubles;
Assembly - 1000 rubles. - The second version of the powerful computer that I eventually selected was also an eight-core one, with 8 GB of RAM:
- When a resource-intensive program or application starts, it takes a long time to wait.
- Also, if several programs are launched at once, the computer responds very slowly to your actions, which means that clicking on a button or shortcut will not immediately receive a system reaction, but only after a while, the download will start.
- Having downloaded a new game, I can’t fully enjoy the graphics and dynamics since the frames on the monitor screen are updated very slowly, and the game itself proceeds as if in jerks. This means that your graphic editor no longer has time to process incoming images.
- - quick turn on the PC;
- - accelerated response programs;
- - Improving the speed of copying, moving;
- - slight acceleration inside the games.
- - Motherboard (if necessary)
- - Power supply (if necessary)
- - Processor (thermal paste will be needed to replace)
- - Cooler (if necessary)
- - Video card
- - RAM (buy a new one or add another bar to the old one)
- - Hard disk (if necessary)
- - processor
- - Video card
- - RAM

Want to learn how to make money on the Internet?
Download a free book by Vladislav Chelpachenko
=>> “10 steps to the first million in the information business”
For several months he was puzzled by the unreliability of his laptop, which was good at purchase, but far from being so powerful for 2015.
I thought about how to make a computer more powerful. Four months ago, I upgraded the laptop for 10,000 rubles, including the SSD hard drive.
I have to in various programs, such as, for example, Kamtasia. When rendering heavy video, the laptop simply went out.
The black screen and that's it, download it again. He brought his palm to the vents and felt the hot air coming from the computer.
I even installed the Everest program, which used to monitor the temperature of the inside of the laptop. It showed more than 80 degrees during video processing.
I must say that I never cleaned a laptop from dust. Therefore, he called a specialist to the house, which for 1800 rubles I cleaned my laptop from dust, replaced the thermal grease.
Be sure to clean your computer from dust, and you will see amazing changes in it. After cleaning the computer from dust, video processing went without excesses, but it was also long, since a powerful computer was required for rendering.
A laptop, frankly, is for simple operations. Sitting with him on the beach in Thailand and sending a letter to the newsletter, as they do, this is possible.
But it also comes from the creation of video, and they need to be processed with a powerful computer. Therefore, you have a laptop, as a rule, a fashionable and pontoon MacBook, and a powerful stationary computer for solving complex problems.
Video rendering requires a powerful graphics card. Of course, I don’t need the most powerful computer, but I decided to build a reliable powerful computer that is so powerful that it was as good as powerful gaming computers.
If anyone is interested in information about what characteristics of components are needed to get a powerful gaming computer, then this article will come in handy just like those who just want to buy a computer for video processing.
I must say right away that powerful computers are not inexpensive, especially after raising the dollar twice. Therefore, you need to prepare for serious expenses.
How to build a powerful computer. I turned to the DNS store with a request to calculate the most powerful computer for me, explained what is required for video processing, therefore, I need a better video card. The DNS manager counted together with the assembly for 60,000 rubles and said pleased that this is, in fact, the most powerful computer for games.
So I advise you to assemble a powerful gaming computer, a computer for video processing. You can turn to consultants in computer stores, and they will select the components for a powerful computer.
Thus, I turned to the Yulmart store, which is widely represented as an online store and they picked up components for 34,000 rubles for me. Already smaller, although there was no monitor, keyboard or mouse, or assembly at this price.
How to assemble a powerful computer (prices of accessories in 2015)
After their price tag for comparison, I turned to two specialists involved in the assembly of computers. I was presented with two options, of which I chose the second.
Total components and assembly: 30,470 rubles.
Set (keyboard + mouse) LOGITECH MK120 - 1090 rubles;
LCD Monitor ACER K192HQ 19 "black - 4850 rubles.
Only 36.5 thousand rubles. Prices are all in mid-2015.
The price of a powerful computer turns out to be quite high, but such a computer will cope with most tasks regarding games and video processing / rendering.
Powerful Computer Option
Total: 39480 rub.
An order of more than 10,000 rubles is presented in Yulmart with a 5% discount. I also introduced the lider promo code, which is currently valid in Yulmart and received an additional discount.
They also gave as a gift an 8 GB MicroSDHC memory card.
I did not buy the case, but used it from my old stationary computer. The power supply was at the computer technician who collected the computer for me and bargained with him for 2500 rubles.
The power supply for a powerful computer must be at least 500 watts.
I also took all the components, including a faulty monitor from an old computer and exchanged it in a repair shop for a used monitor, paying 200 rubles.
And they didn’t even take the old keyboard from me and offered the same for free.
I bought a white classic Genius keyboard in Yulmart. His eyes still get tired of the black keyboard.
I have on my laptop exactly the black buttons with red cyrillic. In my opinion, it puts eyes on.
I also bought an HDMI cable for 800 rubles, since I intend to later buy a large modern monitor.
How much is a powerful computer
Of course, you can buy a ready-made powerful computer, but they are on order, the prices will be higher, and the characteristics are worse than those that you yourself assemble.
In Yulmart, powerful computers for games are presented at prices of 42,290 rubles and 64,850 rubles. The last price will not leave anyone indifferent. But this is not a Mac.
Computer assembly
Assembling a computer with a specialist installing Windows, MS Office, and an antivirus cost me 3000 rubles. This amount also included departure with the selection of components in the store according to my requirements and installing a computer at home.
Computer for video processing. the total cost
Taking into account its housing and barter with a monitor, the costs amounted to 37 thousand rubles. In time, it took two days.
P.S. I attach a screenshot in affiliate programs. And I remind you that everyone can, even a beginner! The main thing is to do it right, which means to learn from those who are already earning, that is, from Internet business professionals.
Do you want to know what mistakes newcomers make?
99% of newcomers make these mistakes and fail in business and making money on the Internet! Take care not to repeat these mistakes - “3 + 1 BEGINNER ERRORS KILLING RESULT”.Do you need money urgently?
Download for free: “ TOP - 5 ways to make money on the Internet". The 5 best ways to make money on the Internet, which are guaranteed to bring you a result of 1,000 rubles per day or more.Here is the turnkey solution for your business!
And for those who are used to taking ready-made solutions, there is “The project of ready-made solutions for the start of earning on the Internet”. Learn how to start your own business on the Internet, even for the greenest newcomer, without technical knowledge, and even without expertise.
Assembling a gaming computer separately (buying components and assembling it), you must first view the prices of goods in various stores. Once the approximate cost is clear, you can begin to assemble the computer for components.
Graphics card and processor
First of all, you need to understand exactly that a good result can be achieved only if you select a good processor and video card. Today, developers are focusing on these components. A good processor can perform many complex processes (including games), and the video card and its memory will withstand the graphics in the game.
To select good components, you need to allocate at least fifty percent of the total amount that you are thinking to spend on a video card with a processor. It is worth noting one significant nuance - you do not need to buy the most sophisticated processor and video card models. Together they should create optimal conditions for working with games, and not be the coolest.
The Intel Core i3 processor with 3.1, 3.30 or 3.4 GHz is best suited for a gaming computer, and if you want to buy an AMD processor, it is better to opt for the PHENOM II X4 965 AM3 series. In addition, you can buy processors of the Intel Core i5 series (with a clock frequency of at least 3 GHz for each core), as they are ideally suited to AMD Radeon series video cards.
As for the video card, SAPPHIRE RADEON HD 7850 2 Gb and other more advanced models, for example, AMD Radeon HD 7870 2Gb, are quite suitable. Of course, do not forget about the company GeForce, which, for the most part, adapts its video cards specifically for games. For example, you can buy a graphics card MSI GeForce GTX 660 N 660 TF 2GD5 / OC, which will show excellent results. An alternative is the Nvidia GeForce 760 2 Gb.
It is worth noting that today you should not buy video cards with a memory capacity of less than 2 GB, as modern games are very demanding on this parameter. In addition, users can overclock video cards and processors, thereby gaining even greater performance.
Other components
Do not forget about the motherboard. You need to choose it based on which processor you bought. This is necessary so that the processor input is paired with the motherboard. In this case, you must immediately find out how many gigabytes of RAM can be installed on the motherboard. An ideal way out of this situation would be to buy a motherboard that supported from 8 GB of RAM (with the possibility of increasing the volume).
RAM plays not the last role in creating a gaming computer. In the event that it will be missed, you will not be able to get comfort from the game and everything will slow down. For the current generation of games, it is necessary to install at least 8 GB of RAM, and if necessary it can be increased (if the motherboard allows this).
After that, you can proceed to choosing a hard drive for the gaming computer. Today, there are two types of hard drive connectors - IDE and SATA. As for the optimal volume for a gaming computer, now 1 TB is quite enough. If desired, of course, the user can buy a larger removable hard drive.
Do not forget about the manipulators. Keyboard and mouse are the key to success in games. Especially popular today are devices manufactured by Razer. It is this company that manufactures data input devices for gamers. If you are burdened with material resources, then the Razer DeathAdder mouse, which has 5 additional buttons, is ideal.
As for the keyboard, you can safely buy the Razer Death Stalker Ultimate. It has very convenient keys and a special LCD panel, with which the user can receive additional game information or, you can use this panel instead of a mouse. These manipulators will not hit the price much and at the same time will show quite decent quality.
Computer technology today is developing at such a pace that the computer is much faster becoming obsolete morally than physically. And in the end, the time comes when productivity is no longer enough to cope with the recently released toy, or to remain able to process video or work in a graphical editor.
The next question is: what to do? Buy a new computer, and sell the old one for pennies or throw it away altogether, or try to raise the performance of the “old man” to a more or less adequate level by replacing part of its nodes. Next, we describe in more detail how to upgrade a computer with your own hands.
So, let's start with the concept itself. Wikipedia gives us this information: computer upgrade (upgrade) is the replacement of individual computer components with more powerful and advanced ones.
To begin with, when your system is working properly, when there is no discomfort while working on the computer, in this case, the PC upgrade can wait for now. However, if the computer starts to freeze periodically, slow down, etc., in which case it will not last long without improvement, or rather, you will eventually get tired of it, and you still decide to upgrade.
Here are a few examples that make you think about how to upgrade your computer:
Thus, if your “machine” can no longer give the desired performance while working on it, then in this case, updating the computer will make it possible to achieve a certain desired level of performance.
The easiest way to improve computer performance is to install an additional component. As an example, you can offer the installation of an additional RAM module or the installation of another hard drive on a computer.
A more serious way is to completely replace one of the system components. For example, replacing a larger RAM module, replacing a video card with a more powerful one, replacing a sound card from 5.1 to 7.1, replacing a hard drive with a faster and more capacious one, replacing a DVD-ROM with Blu-ray, etc.
Perhaps the most difficult way to upgrade a computer is to replace the motherboard. Moreover, changing the motherboard will have to change all the other components: the central processor, RAM, hard drive with a new connection interface.
As a result, your old power supply will not be able to ensure the normal functioning of the new system. That is, it will have to be replaced with a more powerful one. As a result, only the case and DVD-ROM, which already reads disks poorly, will be left from the old computer. This, of course, is an “extreme variant” of the situation, but this often happens. Therefore, before you upgrade your computer, you should definitely plan everything well and calculate the cost of this pleasure.
How to upgrade a PC processor
A fast processor accelerates the work of programs and applications that require intensive computing, thereby giving the system the ability to work without freezes and slowdowns.
However, replacing the processor is quite expensive, in addition, this feature is limited, since the types of chipsets and sockets on the motherboard are often replaced. Moreover, this applies to laptops even more than desktop personal computers.
In the event that your computer is mainly used to work on the Internet or with office applications, then a dual-core processor that will not need to be updated will be quite sufficient. However, if you have installed, for example, a single-core Celeron or Sempron, then replacing it with a dual-core or quad-core, not even from the latest generations, you will get a significant increase in productivity. Thus significantly improve your computer.
How many times have you bought a new game that won you over with its trailer or friends' recommendations, you are waiting for the installation, start the game. But, everything slows down, reduce the quality of the graphics and remove the animation, and the computer still "does not pull".
In this article, I will tell you how to make a computer work several times faster, how to upgrade a PC a bit or completely replace hardware at a minimal cost.
How to increase computer performance?
Hi friends, today I want to tell you how to increase the power of my computer, what features you need to pay attention to and what details you will need to buy to achieve each of the goals.
For those who still do not know how the computer works and what is inside it, I recommend that you carefully study the article: the structure of the PC, this will allow you to literally imagine the whole process of work in half an hour, what depends on what, and besides, all the examples with pictures are even a novice user can quickly figure it out.
But I will try not to offend experienced users either, and in the near future I will write an article for you with detailed technical specifications that are usually needed only by very demanding users.
So, let's start, the whole article is divided into categories, select the option you need and read how to improve it. I recommend reading in full and highlighting the most necessary.
But you should understand from the very beginning that a good computer update is a comprehensive replacement of the main parts, and not a replacement of just one part. By replacing one part, you may simply not achieve the result that you would like to get.
Computer acceleration
In this section, we’ll focus not on how to make a “rocket rocket” out of a computer, but rather improve the speed of operation several times, which you will get:
You can list long enough, so just get down to business.
For this improvement, you need to add RAM - these are small boards inside the system unit. Replacing such boards is inexpensive and takes about 5-10 minutes. You do not need to carry a computer to a service center, you can easily do it yourself.
Such boards store temporary computer memory. The larger the board, the better. How to find out how much RAM you currently have and how to replace it, you can by reading a separate section on RAM.
The increase in PC power, partial.
To increase power, you will need to update your computer's processor.
I have repeatedly said that the processor is the "brain" of the computer. He is responsible for all the computing operations on your PC. Following certain algorithms created by manufacturers, he reproduces specific actions and, so to say, gives out orders to all other details.
The more productive the processor, the more powerful your computer. For a detailed study, read the article: why do we need a processor? In it, I will tell you what features you need to pay attention to and what power will depend on.
Although for most users the development of processors has become noticeable, only with the introduction of the concepts of dual-core, quad-core, etc. And strangely enough, many are fixated on this and are now mistakenly acquiring the wrong type of processors that they really need.
Graphics Enhancement
Then I think everyone guessed it, the name speaks for itself. All pictures, beautiful transitions, films, games - you can collect under one concept - graphics.
A separate part is responsible for the graphics in the computer - the video adapter (video card)
He is responsible for the correct display of everything that happens on the screen of your monitor. The video card converts program code incomprehensible to the average user into those beautiful pictures that you see.
The video card has its own built-in processor, its main goal is to remove the maximum load from the central processor and convert all the commands into the colors, pictures, films familiar to our eyes.
The more productive your video card will be, the more “heavy” games with good graphics you can run on your PC. By the way, the replacement does not take much time, in personal computers it is a discrete card, that is, a separate board that is independent of the others, it can be easily removed, bought a new, modern one and put in place.
Increase computer memory
I meet this problem almost every week. As you usually come to someone to set up, or sort through a computer, how do you immediately get a question, but can I add more memory? Of course you can, if you know which part needs to be replaced.
But for the internal memory of the computer is responsible for the device, which is called - hard disk (hard disk), some call them hard drives and, in principle, everything is right. But now a little about it.
We want to increase memory, for this we would first need to find out how much memory we generally have and estimate how much you would like to add. You can learn how to do this by reading a separate article on increasing computer memory. Also in it you will read what kind of hard disk you need - this will help you avoid overpaying.
In general, I do not advise you to put large volume disks on your computer - this can not only reduce performance, but also lead you to a situation where you lose all the information from your PC at once.
It’s good if it is a system failure and you can copy all personal information. And if the hard drive burns out for a couple of terabytes - this is a large amount of information that will be very disappointing to lose regardless of what your work or business projects can do there.
Use external hard drives to copy information that is expensive to you, or you can periodically write to regular disks in the usual way, in case of breakdown, download it again.
Computer upgrade in all directions at the same time
And here we are, although slowly but surely moving towards the end of the article. By simultaneous upgrade, I meant a set of measures aimed at improving all the parameters of your computer, and if you read the article completely you already guessed that for this you need to replace all the details that are responsible for computing, encoding, graphics, speed, storage, etc. .
Indeed, in fact, all the power lies precisely in it, one way or another changing the component parts one at a time, you will spend a lot of time and the results will delight you gradually. Suppose you changed one part, and so all the others took turns in turn for two years, but while you were updating all this, the first part has already worn out again and needs to be updated or replaced.
Thus, you will be constantly updating computer components, which is not always convenient. Therefore, I recommend that you simultaneously upgrade your computer - this is the maximum possible improvement, an increase in all parameters by several times.
For such an event, you will need to pay a good amount of money. Below I will give a list of details that will need updating, I will make small notes and explanations in brackets. Where it says: “if necessary”, replacement is not mandatory, but recommended.
So, what details to change to improve the PC
Expose the priority of replacement for these details:
Many say why so many things need to be changed, it is better to buy a new system unit and not bother. And such people can be understood, for them in their lives saving time is a priority.
But for most of my friends it is important to understand what is inside and spend a minimum of money. They would rather spend several hours replacing components, but at the same time save several thousand rubles.
I myself think this: "If you want to do something well - do it yourself ..."
I hope that the information has been brought to you, if you need a video to replace any of the details, write in the comments, I will add as necessary.
