Custom PC Guide : Your guide to build the best PC for your budget

Welcome to Custom PC Guide. This site is designed to help people who want to build their own customized PCs but are not familiar with the latest hardware on the market and so are not sure about which parts to get. Sometimes it becomes confusing to decide between competing products (or different products from the same manufacturer) because so many factors are there to consider when buying PC components such as price, performance, features, power consumption, heat dissipation, noise level, upgradability, and warranty.

Custom PC Guide provides you with system recommendations for different budgets. The systems are updated regularly according to the latest hardware on the market, and the components are chosen with 2 priorities in mind :

Price/performance :
This is the first criterion that should be considered when purchasing computer parts. The level of performance you get for your money is what determines how successful your purchase is. Sometimes paying those extra $50 for a certain component buys you a considerable performance boost, other times it is better to direct this amount of money to another component where it will have a better effect on the overall performance of the system.
Quality :
Only quality components that enjoy good user experiences are chosen.

There are Ultra Budget, Budget, Mid-Range, and High-End PC system recommendations and Ultra Budget HTPC, Budget HTPC, Mid-Range HTPC, and High-End HTPC system recommendations. Both the Ultra Budget PC and Ultra Budget HTPC systems use onboard graphics and therefore are not meant for playing modern games, the rest of the systems are chosen to be fast gaming machines able to play any modern game; even the Budget PC and Budget HTPC systems are able to satisfy avid gamers on a limited budget.

If you have never built a computer before and need a good guide to computer assembly, you can find links to good and detailed computer assembly guides in the Building Guides section. Computer assembly is a very easy and ,in fact, a rather fun process.

After you have built your computer, you might want to benchmark your system's performance. The Benchmarks section provides you with links to the major benchmarking tools necessary to benchmark both overall performance and specific performance areas of your system.
