CPU Cooling Solution: Stock Cooler
The standard cooler is certainly the cheapest solution to CPU cooling, but it's far from the best cooling solution, or in some instances it's not even adequate without causing the CPU to thermal throttle! In many cases a 120mm tower air cooler would be a suitable choice, but if your case is large enough & you're going for an i7/U7/R7 or i9/U9/R9 CPU then we would encourage the use of a 240mm liquid cooler or above for best results.
An adequate CPU cooler ensures that your CPU can perform at or near its limit rather than leaving performance (that you've paid for) on the table.

Memory/RAM
Unless you're only using your PC for the most simple/basic of tasks, 16GB is our minimum recommendation for RAM, otherwise 8GB can scrape through for those on a tight budget. With 32GB+ of RAM widely accepted as being more than enough for typical gaming purposes, higher capacities can prove useful for those who run other apps/tasks while gaming, or for those who need their system to run content creation applications.
A general guide for editing videos the following is recommended: 1080p footage needs 64GB RAM, 4K needs 96GB, & 6K/8K/12K needs 128GB/192GB/256GB respectively.
Nvidia GeForce GTX Graphics Card
Nvidia's GTX series of GPUs offer fantastic bang-for-buck performance, supporting some of the latest graphical features without a hefty price tag. Packing hundreds of CUDA cores & running DirectX 12 & a host of Nvidia technologies at its back: GTX is your partner in gaming.
Primary Storage Drive: SATA SSD
This is where your operating system gets installed, so it's our minimum recommendation for a primary drive! Bringing fast speeds to your new system, a SATA SSD is upto over 260% faster than a traditional spinning disk HDDs & of course has no moving parts. For even faster storage, upgrade to an NVMe M.2 SSD!
Power Supply Efficiency Rating
The power supply is the heart of your computer & its quality should never be compromised. 80 PLUS & Cybenetics are certification programs promoting high-quality & efficiency for computer power supply units.
When you buy an 80 PLUS certified power supply, you can be confident that it's built to last, using high quality components.
Minimum 50% Load Efficiency (230v): 80 Plus: 85% - Bronze: 88% - Silver: 90% - Gold: 92% - Platinum: 94% - Titanium: 96%
Cybenetics has a similar tier system for PSU ratings which also rate the noise levels of the power supply.
Overall Efficiency (230v): Bronze: ≥84% to 87% - Silver: ≥87% to 89% - Gold: ≥89% to 91% - Platinum: ≥91% to 93% - Titanium: ≥93% to 95% - Diamond: ≥95%
