Work from home: How to choose the right desktop PC (or build your own)

This is time to create your own Assembled PC , Check here how to choose the right assembled PC or build your own PC for working from home.

As there's still lockdown because of covid-19, work from home has returned for a number of people across industries. While not all people have laptops at workplace so they have to work in pc.

Whether you’re building your own computer or getting an assembled CPU, getting a desktop may be a harder task than buying a new laptop. However The PC you will build yourself at any price is usually more powerful than a laptop. The only difference is portability, but with the lockdown going on, we reckon that will not be an issue for most people.

Getting an assembled CPU is easier than building your own.You just need to select components or parts you want in that cpu. The parts and components selected are compatible and the building process is not to worry about. All you need to do is basically start and use. But before building cpu you need to setup monitor , keyboard and mouse also sometimes printer if necessary.

Monitor

Any type of LCD , LED monitor should work fine. Since you will largely be using this monitor for work and not gaming or media consumption, go for an ideal 24-inch to 32-inch monitor size and do not focus on elements like refresh rate and smoothness more.  Also if you just need that for only work from home use you can go for second hand monitor that can be cheaper than new. Also, look out for monitors which has functions like a night more , reading mode , eye protection mode and multitasking.

Keyboard 

A good keyboard will be key to your work as it is the most used input devices. Invest in a good wired or wireless keyboard. For the keyboard, you can get a basic keyboard if all you’re going to be doing is basic typing and executing keyboard shortcuts. If there's more typing in your work than you should go for mechanical keyboard. Choose keyboard which makes some noise while pressing keys because the sound of key pressing can give best feeling and reduce stress of writing. Just make sure the size of keyboard like distance between keys so you can easily reach keys without moving your hand more. Also you can go for second hand keyboard but make sure that keyboard is not used for jobs like data entry because that work make life of keyboard short. 

Mouse

Before going to buy mouse make sure that can fit in your hands. Any mouse can be used for work. But at the peak of inventions male sure to buy mouse and keyboard which has usb pin to plug-in with cpu.If you are going to use that mouse for gaming in future buy mouse which has dpi button with that.

CPU (Main Part)

Processor

The CPU carries out and controls the instruction for your computer. You want one that is powerful enough to run the programs you need for your job without breaking your budget. A CAD designer, for example, needs a top-of-the-line CPU. For most professionals, an Intel Core™ i5-9500 processor is a great starting option.

Memory

RAM is where the computer stores short term instructions. You need enough to run several programs like email and Word without overloading your memory. Make sure your computer has at least 4GB of RAM. Most workstations offer upgrades, so if you can get 8GB for just a few dollars more, it may be worth the up front investment.

Storage

For faster load times, go for a 250GB solid-state drive (SSD). And if you need more local storage, opt for a 1TB HDD. Read about difference between SSD and HDD Before making pc.

Security

This is a must for any industry and should include multi-factor authentication to keep out other users, a webcam with privacy settings for video conference calls, antivirus software, and an all-encompassing security solution such as HP Pro Security.

Work from home: How to build your own CPU

Building your own PC will be largely covering the same information we covered above, but will require more technical knowledge and expertise. While this process can give you good variety it also consumes considerable amount of time to configure components and make them work good.

To begin with, we will be needing the right components.

1. CPUs, APUs and motherboards

You will need to choose between either an Intel i3/i5 or an AMD Ryzen 3/ Ryzen 5. A good bet is going for an APU over a CPU. Difference between CPU and APU is APU comes with graphics card so you don't need to buy that seperately. APUs are usually processors that end with a ‘G’ in the name, like the Ryzen 3 3200G and come with integrated graphics. Most newer Intel processors are APUs and will come with built-in Intel graphics card. For Ryzen processors, you should look specifically for APUs and not CPUs.

Once you select the right processor, you will need a motherboard with a socket that’s compatible with your chosen processor. For instance, an Intel i5 processor will not be compatible with an AM4 motherboard that is made for Ryzen processors.

2. CPU Case and other components

Next, you will need a CPU case to fit your motherboard into. The motherboard you have chosen will most likely be a Micro-ATX sized board and you will hence need a CPU case that is compatible with this motherboard size. Again, if your work demands working with specific media like CDs, make sure your case has accommodation for the respective drives. (A gaming CPU case may not let you install a CD-Drive in it.)

Moving forward, you will be needing other components that will complete the motherboard and CPU. These include RAM, SATA cables, a PSU (power supply unit) and an HDD or SSD data drive.

3. The building process

You will begin by setting up the motherboard on a clean, dry flat desk and fixing your processor and the cooling fan that came with it on top. Then plug in other components like RAM chips and any other PCIe components that do not require wires.

Once all non-wired bits are in their allotted spots, proceed by fixing the motherboard inside the CPU case. The motherboard should latch onto the inside of the case. Once set, begin adding your wired components like the power connections, SATA cables and the cables that lead to your external USB ports on the front and back of the CPU. Plug in all remaining external cables like the power cables, the VGA cable and the ethernet cable.

Note that there are plenty of PC-building guides on YouTube that will help you get all the connections right without accidentally damaging the components.

Installing an operating system (OS)

You’ve got all your parts in place, but your computer still doesn’t have an operating system. For this, you will need to purchase a Windows 10 or any other latest bootable CD drive or download the Windows 10 setup and get it up on a bootable USB drive using a tool like Rufus.Making bootable USB drive is good option.

You will also need to enter the motherboard’s BIOS settings to make sure your computer prioritises the boot drive over its main hard drive for the first boot, which will allow you to install the operating system. Once your operating system is installed, you can remove the bootable CD/USB drive and make your first boot.
