The Story Behind My $655 Core i-5 PC Build-up: Final Part (CPU)

Hello everyone, This is the second part of the story behind every PC build-up post. In the first post, I particularly describe about my monitor and how I ended up buying it. Today I will discuss about the rest of the parts of my $655-cost Core i-5 PC build-up that I bought.

After purchasing the monitor, I felt relieved that I wouldn't have to worry about my laptop for the next six months. But in the irony of fate, another problem comes to light. My laptop's sound system is not working. To listen to anything, I need to use my earphones.

I went to the service center. It's better to tell you before that in my town there is no laptop servicing facility available. As a result, I needed to travel 43.3 km away from my home to the other town, Rangpur, to repair my laptop. The technician informed me there that my laptop's speaker sound system was totally damaged and needed replacement. He also told me that this speaker replacement would cost me $18. So, I see some facts that my laptop's display is totally gone and I was using an external monitor. So the laptop has become one kind of desktop for me. Moreover, external speakers would come at a cost of $30.

I bought the Microlab M108BT Speaker

I went to the Rayan Computer Showroom in Ranpur Branch to buy my desired speaker. They are a very well-known computer and notebook importing company in Bangladesh. They have almost 16 branches in different towns in our country. Moreover, the reason why I chose this shop is that they have a variety of products in their collection and they have good brand value as an importer.

She showed me some speakers. Among them, I chose the Microlab M108BT. The speaker had both Bluetooth and wired connectivity features. The speaker offers great sound quality. It come in good-looking shape and are handy in size. The speaker cost me around $29.11.

The speaker have 2.1 quality speaker system with an integrated amplifier , bluetooth music streaming, that utilizes the whole audio spectrum, a bass reflex tunnel for deep bass, and satellites that have been specially oriented to provide the best listening effects, volume control, and remote control support, support USB and AUX inputs With 3.5mm output.

I also bought a portable hard drive. because I realized that my laptop would not last long. So I have to move my data somewhere.I had a budget issue, so I chose a 1TB Western Digital brand hard drive, which comes at the lowest price of $48.32 or

MY CPU Build

After buying a hard drive and a sound box, I thought my laptop might last another six months. In the meantime, I also started saving some money to build a new CPU. So, after consistently maintaining my #Club75 status, I took out the remaining 25% STEEM.

Then, all of a sudden, my laptop stopped working from last week without any signal. After taking it to the service center, I found out that the motherboard of the laptop was damaged. As it is an Intel Core i5 4th generation laptop, it is difficult to get its motherboard in the market at this time.

Anyway, before it's too late, I had to think about buying a new computer. because my academic and financial life totally depends on this. But I did not have enough money then. So I had to borrow $90 from a friend of mine.
As I mentioned in the previous post, I usually like to buy this type of electronic product from the Seegate Technology shop. Because there I get original products at a comparatively lower price than the other stores. I went to the store and shared my desirable configuration for my PC build. Here, I share the configuration of my PC.

1.Core i5
2.128 GB SSD
3.8 GB Ram 3200 bus
4.A quality Power Supply unit
5.A mother board which will be suitable for the future processor upgrade
6.An UPS for power Back-up
7.A good looking Cashing

I also tell the manager that I have a tight budget to build this configuration. I told him I had a budget of a total of $400 to build this CPU. This store manager suggested these components and also insisted that I increase the budget a little more.
