DESCRIPTION OF THIS PROJECT
For this Project I virtually assembled a gaming PC, while working on this homework assignment I did a lot of research to identify the most cost-effective components. The total cost of the build added up to $4,436.01. Although it may seem expensive, I firmly believe that investing in high-quality PC components is essential for a seamless gaming experience, and it ultimately saves money in the long term. Being a gamer myself, I know the importance of having good quality hardware for gaming.

Lesson Learned:
· This was a very inspiring and eye-opening experience. For a very long time I have always wanted a full set PC but have never really done my research on what it takes to build one or what components are necessary or required for a PC.
· I currently just use my laptop for gaming, buts its sometimes very inconvenient because I currently use my laptop device for almost everything I do and most times my device lacks adequate space.
· Another thing to note was that pairing my notes and what I learned from them with this was very exciting because they were some things that I was looking out for that I remembered reading in my notes and highlighting as very important. One of those things was screen resolution.
