Blog Post #5 – Tech 7 – PC’s

For this post, I thought I would maybe step away from the project I have been working on as there has been no real progress and I need to pick up my materials. For this post, I wanted to write about my new interest in PC’s and how I am going to be building a gaming PC. I am somewhat of a techie and I love learning about tech and how the devices we use in our everyday lives actually work, and such is the same as PCs. The first and most important part of the PC is the CPU, which is the brain of the computer itself. There are many variants, some faster, some slower. How fast one is based off of its clock speed, measured in hertz, and its cores and threads. There are more components that make up the CPU itself, but I don’t really want to dive into it. Next is the motherboard, which is a big circuit-board that houses the CPU, GPU, all your ports like fan headers and SATA ports, RAM, M.2 SSD’s, and much more. There are many more components, but the real thing I wanted to explain in this post is how cool PC’s really are and how interesting they can be.
