Lessons Learned
Throughout this project I learned how expensive building a PC really is and that there are so many options and choices if you want to customize it to your own. I also learned that not all Pc's are going to need the same pieces and that it all really depends on what you are going to be using it for the most. For example a gaming PC is going to have a lot of different aspects when you compare it to one that may just be being used for school or business.
