Processors give your system the power to perform. Intel and AMD are at the core of most desktop models, and each brand has a processor to match the kind of computer you’re looking for. Be sure to also note the speed of the processor, as well. A faster processor speed might be ideal for a more high-performance system.
RAM, also sometimes referred to as system memory, is an important factor in choosing the right desktop PC. 4GB is usually the lowest you can get, but it’s the perfect amount for everyday computing like surfing the web or watching online videos. But if you’re looking for a desktop PC for media streaming and gaming, you’ll want to choose a PC with at least 8GB or more.
Hard Drive size is about more than just how much digital content you can store on your desktop computer. Naturally, a larger capacity will let you store more photos, songs and videos, but if you’re looking for a high-performance PC, more hard drive space with fast read/write speeds can help ensure demanding applications and games run smoother.
Wi-Fi isn’t available in all desktop computer models, but that doesn’t mean you won’t be able to connect to your home network if you have one. Most models have an Ethernet port for a wired network connection, but you might want to choose a model with Wi-Fi so you can access your network wirelessly without the hassle and clutter of additional cables.
