Why not DIY?

Here, we will revisit all the points of the previous section. But, this time, DIY options will make it more flexible and offer you a greater freedom of choice. Flexibility and freedom come from choosing each and every component that you are going to assemble yourself. It is recommended that you dedicate at least a month to researching different PC components on the market to build the best system possible on your estimated budget.

So, to build your system from scratch, let's start our DIY walkthrough with the most important component.

GPU

Without a doubt, this is our most important component, and is directly related to our subject of study in this book. If you are looking toward GPU computing applications...
