This assignment taught me about the various components needed to build a computer. I have noticed that the most important parts, especially the ones with high quality (or a specific brand) are more expensive. I realized that certain RAM sticks need different graphics cards. Since I wanted a good gaming computer, I have also learned that graphic cards are important for gaming especially because they help it run smoothly as well as offer high-quality graphics. I learned how to change text color/font for headings without going back and having to do it one by one as well! I enjoyed this project a lot and might look into actually building a gaming computer to play with my family.
