After reviewing processors, ram, and video cards, I think it would be appropriate to point out the different types of power supplies that you can choose, and how you should choose the right one. First off, the power supplies job is to supply enough power to certain parts of the computer, so it can run correctly. Having too little of power can cause your computer to run at slower speeds. Also, having a lower quality type of power supply can be a bad decision for your customized desktop computer. The part of your computer that take up the most power are your processor. The more present and up to date processors take up about 60W to 90W of power. Before processor’s got so power hungry, they would only take up about 45W. After the processor, comes the video card, usually. It depends on if your computer is a gaming computer or not. If you have a gaming computer, then your video card will be the next one that is the most power hungry. After the video card comes the RAM. The RAM would be the next power hungry, taking in anywhere from 40W to 60W of power, depending on today’s RAM. The motherboard trails after the RAM with 30W of power required, and then the hard drive and DVD drives follow with power requirements of only 10W to 20W. A good power supply for a regular computer would be about 300W to 400W. I personally have a 600W power supply in my gaming computer.
