It’s like when you want to watch the latest block-buster at home,Building Your Own Game System: 5 Important Things You Must Have Articles you need a great sound system and a notable LCD screen. They are called the fundamental things. The same is true with playing games and other entertainment activities.

When it comes to playing games, there are 5 essential tools that can be deal breaker. What are they?

They are a good computer screen, a high responsive mouse, a gaming keyboard, a decent graphic card, and a sound system. We will go into details now.

Essential thing #1: The computer screen

This is perhaps the very first impression for gamers when it comes to enjoying the games.

Of course you don’t need to purchase a big wide screen like when watching movies. In fact, it will go against you if you do so. What you need is a good screen that will help your eyes feel relaxed.

Because we all know that players will spend countless hours before the screen. If it annoys you more than help you, it’s tough to enjoy the time!

Essential thing #2: The gaming mouse

Without a doubt your mouse is like your primary weapon in virtual battlefields.

This can’t be truer when your favorite games are FPS like Counter Strike or Call of Duty. I still remember how hard and crazy it was when I decided to conquer the Veteran level in CoD with a normal mouse. I couldn’t beat those snipers until I replace the mouse with my Razer Death Adder.

No pushing here, you can select your own favorite brand. But remember that mouses are not created equally. Some are for FPS games, others might be suitable for strategy games. So make the decision wisely.

Essential thing #3: The keyboard

There are some small discussions among my friends (my game partners). They want to know if the keyboard is that important when it comes to playing games.

To me, it’s not that important. At least when we compare it with the gaming mouse. But if you are aiming for something like a combo of gears you can make extra moves. Not only you can save some money when you buy combo but it will also provide extra effectiveness for your response.

Who knows, just a mistype or misclick can be a win or lose matter!

Essential thing #4: The graphic card

But don’t pay sole attention to only the graphical part. What you need is good computer hardware like a decent processor, a monster hard disk driver, a reliable cooling system, and the graphic card. They form the core of the gaming system. Without it, you couldn’t play today’s games. Because their requirements are ridiculously high!

So if you really want to enjoy computer games, it’s time to take a look at the hardware.

Essential thing #5: The sound system

Have you ever watched a movie with the sound muted? So boring and looks stupid right? It’s the same truth when it comes to gaming.

I know that you can play some games without hearing the sound but a lot of them have sound as part of their gameplay. The clear example are shooting games. How boring it could be when playing CoD without hearing the guns roaring?
