I know nothing about computers, however I want to build one. After a little research, it's come to my understanding that I will have to buy the following(from scratch).
Case
Communications*
Hard Drive
Monitor
Mother Board
Optical Drive*
OS
Power Supply**
Processor*
Ram
Sound***
Speakers
Video*
I'm willing to spend around 1.5k-2k on a computer. I use my computer for the following:
GAMING- 5-10 hours a day on League of Legends-big emphasis on this
Youtube Videos
Twitch streaming(watching, but I also want to get into streaming)
Google(just looking up guides and what not, very little if any social media)
Spotify/Music
Skype(while gaming)
Record my games as well.
My question is, which of the above things needed to make a computer should I place more emphasis in(spending more money) for my needs, and which can I skimp on? Also, am I missing anything from the list?
The following is ONLY if you're bored or if you truly don't mind/want to put in the effort to answer, as I am more than capable of googling them when I get more time.
*I have no idea what they are, so if you want to briefly explain it, feel free.
**Logic would dictate this is the cable to plug into the wall/computer, however the site I was on was making it sound like it's completely not what I think it is. So if I'm wrong, feel free to correct me.
***Is this different from speakers?
Also, I think missing from that list would be fans(cooling system). However, being that there is a lot of items on the list I have no idea what they are, maybe one of them is another word for a cooling system. Inputs are welcomed
If you're still here, thanks for your time, be it you're able or unable to help!
