1. The power supply for CPU and graphics card 100 is what you want, but you can buy a higher one, but it consumes at least 40% of the power. I bought an extra 600w, thinking about buying more rather than less. If you actually match it, an extra 500w and the actual 400w will be enough. Personally, I feel that it is better to buy more power rather than less.

2. Graphics cards and CPUs do not have any compatibility issues. I used to think that graphics cards and CPUs must be matched, but in fact, they only need to meet the power supply requirements. When buying graphics cards, VGA and HDMI interfaces are interfaces for connecting to monitors. Single-interface graphics cards are cheaper than multi-interface graphics cards, but the actual effects are the same. Displays should all support HDMI.

I recommend buying a graphics card with a single HDMI port. Most displays have an HDMI port, and single HDMI ports are cheaper.

When I asked the customer service what the interface was, they gave me a PCIE interface? This is a socket, actually, you don't need to worry about it. The sockets of graphics cards on the market are all PCIE.

3. When installing the CPU, I plugged in eight power plugs but it didn't work, but it worked after I plugged in four. The CPU and motherboard are usually sold together. Anyway, I bought the set directly, and the CPU was already installed when I got it. To save costs, you can buy the CPU yourself, but it depends on the pins supported by your motherboard. Most of the CPUs on the market are 1150 pins. I didn't spend much time on the CPU and didn't know much about it.

By the way, you can buy a better hard drive. I found that the better the hard drive, the faster the games run.

4. As for hard disks, M2 is much more expensive. I bought a hard disk with a SATA interface, which is much cheaper. SSDs also have a SATA interface. Generally, if you buy a hard disk, there are hard disks with built-in Windows system, but I don’t recommend it. Although it is very simple and it is automatically installed for you when you turn on the computer, the disk is divided extremely irregularly, and it cannot be changed or expanded.

5. When installing the Windows system, don't buy a hard drive with the system already installed, because the C drive is divided extremely irregularly, and the C drive only gives me 50G?

There was nothing difficult during the assembly, and it was successful at the first try, except that it was a bit difficult to install the radiator.

6. As for memory sticks, it is best to buy a brand. I saw on the Internet that it is best to buy a brand.

7. Assembly. I assembled it successfully by watching videos online and asking customer service. Generally, I ask the customer service of the motherboard and they will help you answer. Anyway, I even asked questions about Windows and they would answer them. Moreover, their products usually include after-sales service. I assembled the graphics card accessories and asked customer service while buying the accessories.

8. Because I really had no money, I didn't buy a computer case and just bought a switch online. By the way, remember to buy a network card. The motherboard I bought didn't come with a network card, so I could only get a signal by plugging in a network cable. I also didn't have any Bluetooth accessories, so I bought a network card with Bluetooth.

9. The total cost is more than 900 yuan, no case, own display, e3 1231v3 plus Jingyue motherboard (it is sold as a set, the motherboard is a bit expensive, Gigabyte B85200 can be bought), 324, sata solid state drive 125g 47 yuan, the power supply is Hemelon 600w power supply, only 139 three-year warranty, this brand of power supply is really cheap and cost-effective 139 yuan, two Jinbaida (ddr3 8g) 130, the graphics card is rx580 (recommended online, low-end god-level graphics card), random mining card, 330 yuan, 2021 card, it looks a bit new when I got it, no problem using it, radiator 15

Total: 330 + 324 + 47 + 130 + 139 = 985

The total score is over 47,000, close to half a million.

When playing LOL in a group, the frame rate is more than 130, and when not playing in a group, it is 200

Valorant feels faster than the LOL process, stable at around 150 frames

CSGO2 is a bit stuck, more than 100 frames, but most of the time it will be below 100, I feel it is not as good as Dauntless, Dauntless is really fun to play
