Virtual Computer Build

Project Description

I had to digitally build a PC for this assignment. To identify every component required for a standard PC, I made the decision to use the website PCPartPicker.com. The use of PCPartPicker.com allowed me to easily identify and select the necessary components for building a standard PC. My goal was to create an efficient structure with most of the components in it.
