Lessons Learned

I honestly used to think that building a computer was going to be easy. At least it looks easy. But there is so much stuff to choose from that it is so overwhelming. You really have to think about everything and how you want everything to run. So, one lesson I learned is that you have to really think about how you want everything to run, and look, for it to be functional. Also, the prices for the parts vary so much in price that it leads me to think that the most expensive option for that part is the better option. I do not think this is true but when it comes to a computer, it might be true in this case.
