If you are wondering how to build a laptop, the answer is very simple. The true challenge is how to build a gaming laptop and this is our topic of the day. Before building a gaming laptop, you have to be aware that RAM, processor and especially the graphics card are the most important components of a gaming laptop.

First, it is advisable to be well informed about the games that will be played on the laptop you wish to build, because there are several categories of games that have different minimum requirements.  It is important to decide on the resolution of the display screen, as if the screen is limited to low resolution, it is pointless to choose a high-performance video card.

Depending on the resolution we can help you choose the right video card. Games like Sims 3, Starcraft 2, Warcraft 3, World of Warcraft and many others which are similar to these go quite so well on a display  with 1366 x 768 pixels resolution and on-board video card such as the Intel GMA 3100/4500/HD, Radeon 2100/3200/4200, GeForce 7050 / 8200 / 9200.



For the less demanding games it is important to choose a laptop with only dual-core processor (Intel Atom does not qualify) for the game to have a core only (no interruptions), and with enough memory (3-4 GB) to avoid loading data on the hard disk during the game. Like I said, if you wish to know how to build a laptop, you must know details about the games in order to choose the proper components. In general, FPS games (first person shooter) require a more efficient video card (dedicated memory) as to precisely target the monsters and enemies. Some of the best video cards for such games are the Geforce or Radeon Mobility 320M 8600GT-M/9600M/GT 220M/GT 4670/5650/5830.

If you are not willing to take any chances and you want to make sure that every game will work, then we simply must go with a laptop with FullHD resolution 1920 × 1080 and with two powerful video cards (or a video card with two processors). In this particular case, your options for the video card should be one of the following: 8600M GT SLI 8700M GT SLI GTX SLI or ATI Mobility Radeon 3850 260M/280M/285M X2/3870 X2/4870 X2.

When buying a new or second hand laptop it is recommended that you test the limits and keep them running benchmarks for 4 to6 hours so you can see precisely if they can keep up with the pressure, thereby reducing the risk of failure in the next 1-2 years. The truth is that instead of building a laptop for yourself, you should buy one. This is because laptop components are quite expensive when they are sold separately.



The benefit is that you get to choose exactly what combination of components you wish to have inside your laptop. If you wish to build an amazing and powerful gaming laptop, you must be willing to spend more than $2000.
