The PC parts prepared for this assembly are Intel "Core i3-4340" CPU, ASUSTeK "STRIX-GTX750TI-OC-2GD5" video card, and ASUSTeK "H97M-E" motherboard3. One.
The plan I introduced last time is close to the configuration for "indie / doujin games", but depending on the settings, MMORPG and light games can also be played sufficiently. When actually building a PC, you will also need a case, power supply, storage, memory, etc. Please refer to the assembly plan presented last time and select them.
CPU: IntelCore i3-4340 Dual-core CPU based on Intel's 4th generation Core microarchitecture. Although it is a dual core, Hyper-Threading Technology enables simultaneous execution of 4 threads. Also, since the operating clock is set high at 3.6 GHz, the motherboard that can be expected for single thread performance: ASUSTeKH97M-E (Intel H97, microATX) A microATX size motherboard that is a little more compact than ATX. In terms of position, it is middle range to entry class among ASUSTeK's motherboards equipped with Intel H97, and has excellent cost performance. Nonetheless, it covers the functions of the Intel H97, is equipped with the latest storage standard "M.2 slot", and supports the high-quality audio function "Crystal Sound 2". The difference from the high-end model is the number of Serial ATA ports and where the video output terminal does not support DisplayPort. Video Card: ASUSTeKSTRIX-GTX750TI-OC-2GD5 (NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti) Mid-range video card with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 750 Ti. With a design that rotates the fan only when the GPU temperature exceeds 50 degrees Celsius and stops rotation below, "zero noise" is achieved in low-load processing even when using 2D or 3D. The "DirectCU II" cooler, which aims to improve the efficiency of heat transfer by directly contacting the heat pipe to the GPU, has a high heat dissipation effect, and the two installed fans are quiet even when rotating. At the same time, high-endurance, high-quality parts are used for the capacitors and choke coils on the board. Placed on a benchmark stand. In actuality, the power supply, storage, and memory are attached to it and operated.When a writer like me benchmarks multiple configurations, it takes time to put them in and out of the case one by one, so we put them on a so-called "benchmark table" and verify them.
However, even if you assemble it normally, it will be easier if you "temporarily assemble" and check the operation before putting it in the case. In that sense, one of the tricks of self-made PCs is to "build in a barrack first."
