What are the best components on buying a PC?

My brother wants to buy a new PC and we are from the Philippines.I think he wants to assemble it as gaming PC or can be a little bit of home PC. :pThus,what i mean by the best or top %26lt;component%26gt; is that it is not really a good one to make up a gaming PC, but also a good one for home PC.if you don't understand, we want to make our PC a "multi-purpose",we will install some good games in it and also use it just like being a home PC.:D

Pls specify the following components:

Best processor or top processors

Best motherboard or top motherboards

Best video card or top video cards (or graphics card?)

Which is a better monitor? flat-screen or a....like a TV one? (i am not a PC master)

Best operating system(I HEARD that WIndows XP Professional is the best, and better than WIndows Vista because Windows Vista has many bugs?)

If you want to suggest me without following my guide to what components I'm asking, you can.

Hi Cloud,

Your PC specs still depends on what type of "good games" you'd like to install in your future PC. I recommend that you check first the minimum requirements of your desired PC game/s. I'll be providing a generic specifications for a gaming and home PC. These info should satisfy your needs:

Processor: Any Intel Dual Core or Athlon 64 processor will do

Motherboard: Any motherboard should do. But the type of RAM, HD (hard disk), and Video Card depends on the motherboard. Just be sure that when you buy these 3 devices, they're compatible to your motherboard. I recommend that you buy a motherboard that supports SATA HDs and PCI-E video cards. These are "new" technologies that are more efficient than the older technologies (i.e., SATA is better than PATA, same goes with PCI-E over AGP).

RAM: 512Mb should be good enough

HD: choose the SATA 80Gb

Video Card: 128Mb - 256Mb should be good enough

And by the way, go for the LCD if your budget still allows you

Just don't hesitate to ask for help from the computer shop's sales staff. Additionally, let them assemble the PC for you to check if it's really working before you bring it to your house.

Sana po nakatulong :D

Best processor or top processors: Intel Core2 Duo(Up to you to decide what you want)

Best motherboard or top motherboards: Intel(depends what you want)

Best video card or top video cards: Nvida GeForce(depends)

Which is a better monitor: A LCD one if you have the money, however this one Looks Pretty good http://www.necdisplay.com/Products/Store...

Best operating system- Wait For Vista Service Pack 1
It all depends on what OS you put on it. If you put XP or Vista on it you will need a lot of power because the code is so bloated and full of junk like programs that spy on you. PCLinuxOS runs clean and fast. You don't need any more than this to run it http://nixedblog.thenixedreport.com/?p=9...
I would make sure a hard drive with at least 150gb+, seeing as how games take a lot of memory (most in the 2-7 gb range).

As for the video card, good games will obviously require more video memory. I'd recommend a 512mb card with pixel4 shader capabilities and s-video optionally, if he wants to play his games on a tv! :)

I'd also get 1-1.5 gb RAM (possibly 2 if needed). As somebody already noted, a duo-core processor would be great for gaming.

Here's a great site for customizing your own gaming computers, they actually have an online program where you can custom build it, and it updates the price every time you change a component!

They also have computers with up to 4 gb of RAM! But you need a 64-bit operating system to have 4 gb of RAM I hear, so let's not get into that.

Hope you find this information helpful.
