Step 4: Choose processor, RAM

Intel core i5 4th GenThe Motherboard which we have chosen has LGA 1150 socket, so the processor should be accordingly. For a gaming PC the RAM should be minimum 4GB. There are 2 leaders in processors - Intel, AMD. Both have very strong processors, I would recommend Intel 3.1 GHz LGA 1150 i5 4440 4th Generation Processor. Popular brands for RAM are Corsair, Transcend, Kingston. I would recommend you buying this - Corsair Vengeance DDR3 4 GB RAM.

Don't forget to buy a cooling fan for your processor. If you want to do extreme gaming then chose a Liquid Cooler Eg.Cooler Master Seidon 240 CPU Cooler otherwise there are a lot of other cooling fans available.






Step 5: Choose Graphics Card

Now this is the most important part of a gaming PC. There are a lot of graphics card available from the top manufacturers - NVIDIA, AMD, MSI. The NVIDIA GT610 series is a quite good entry level graphics card for gamers. You can still choose any other having similar configuration.
