How To Build My Own PC

Around three years ago I was talked into building my own computer by my brother. It was a bit of an impulse buy caused by having and excessive amount of cash, because I had been working since my sophomore year in high school, and had little to spend it on at the time. I built it with some excellent hardware put into it, putting almost 1000 dollars within it. I built my PC with the intent on using it for gaming, but I have rarely used it for this purpose. One of the main things I like about building my own PC is the fact that it comes with zero bloatware, or unwanted/intrusive software that comes pre-installed on computers from PC manufacturers such as ACER and HP. Some PC manufacturers tend to be a bit more guilty when it comes to bloatware than others. In my experience ACER and HP are the worst offenders, while Dell and ASUS do it the least. I recently bought a ACER Aspire E 15 (E5-575-5493) which had some pretty decent specs for the price, but was terribly slow out of the box due to all the bloat ware. It took me a few of hours of work to get rid of the bloatware, and get it running smoothly.

The most expensive component was my GPU (graphics processing unit) which was a GTX 970. My second most expensive piece of hardware was my CPU (Central Processing Unit) which was an intel core i5-4590 clocked at 3.30GHz. I built it with a 1000 GB (gigabyte) or one terabyte of permanent storage. A few months back I decided to buy a solid-state hybrid drive which is a sort of merger between traditional hard drives (old way of storing data) and solid-state drives (new way of storing data, much faster) at an affordable price point. After I installed it into my computer and messed with the BIOS settings etc. my computer now runs much faster than it was before. I currently have 8.00 GB of DDR3 RAM on my PC, and I plan on eventually
