Abstract
In this work, a methodology for selecting computer components for use in a home desktop computing is developed. The theoretical part in the work gives a brief overview of the structure of the system in the component level, where more detailed approach is given and what is evaluated, and what are benchmarking tests. The practical part of the work is studying various benchmarking tests: what is each and every benchmarking test selected in this work about, how is one better than the other. Benchmarking tests are validated by set of test machines used in this work and how are these valuable for user. Validated results are used for various purposes such as: is it more valuable to buy prebuilt computer or customizing it by purchasing individual components, whether is it better to acquire it from general electronics retail chains or from specialized computer stores, whether to buy components from abroad or from Estonia. Benchmarking tests and component prices are used to determine the best components to use in a fast and powerful budget desktop computer for general purpose use.
