The Final Words
The process of building applications and games is resource-intensive, especially CPU. If your CPU is too old then your computer will be very hot and possibly overloaded. Therefore, we recommend using an Intel Core i5-8400 or a better CPU. In addition, the use of SSD also makes your work process much quicker and more comfortable than using an HDD.
