How to buy the cheapest and fastest computer.

How to save money on your computer. 10 ways to save on your computer. How to best buy on your computer.

1. Use AMD. Not Intel Pentium. Intel Pentium is more expensive. If you buy AMD, you can save up to 70% of the processor money on your computer. That is a lot of money. Let say Intel Pentium is 300 dollars, AMD can be 90 dollars. Some people prefer Intel. So it is up to you.
2. Buy a good power supply. A good power supply is actually more expensive. But a lot of money is also saved because the parts are saved from the burden of bad electricity. There is less spoilage and breakdown. A good power supply is actually more expensive.
3. Buy a smaller ram at the beginning. Say you want to buy 4G ram. Buy 2G ram first. After one year, buy another 2G ram. Usually it is cheaper.
4. Choose your own motherboard. Some brands are not so good like Microstar International (MSI). I don't know what other brands not so good. A lot of cheaper motherboards are cheap but spoil easily. Buy a little expensive but not easily spoil. I recommend a bit higher than cheap motherboard.

5. Use your old casing. Use your old keyboard and mouse. Old CD-rom. Old hard disk. This is a sure save method.
6. Buy 3 years warranty. Ask the shop if you don't know. A lot of people don't know this. Or some people ignore this. Some parts are usually 1 year default. This is quite important. Save back on doing claims for warranty. If your hard disk is spoil in 2 years time, then you will have to buy a new hard disk. But with 3 years warranty, you can claim a new new hard disk. Some parts that is easy to break down is hard disk, motherboard etc.
7. Buy second hand processor. This is very hard to do. I don't have many friends. If you have a lot of friends with computers, then it will be easier to look for secondhand processors.
8. Avoid buying graphic card. But I also would like a graphic card. If you have to do so, buy on second or third year. Also share with your friend.
9. Buy second hand sound system. Buy a cheap sound system.
10. Buy from the cheapest store. For example, if you are from Malaysia. you can double check on Lowyat.net or original Lowyat store in Kuala Lumpur. Even if you are not buying from Lowyat itself, you will get a clearer picture. This will be bad for computer shop owners. Sorry about that.

Extra points.
11. Buy secondhand monitor.

Some ways are cheaper but the computer spoils easily. So think on your own. Do as you like it. Some can be bought secondhand.
