For this project, I will be building a computer for general use, to do my schoolwork and binge watch tv shows and movies in my free time. My goal is to have a semi powerful all-purpose computer that has great storage and will last me the next 5 years.
The computer I chose to build will be used as a normal general use computer. I will be using this computer to do school assignments and maybe binge watch some tv shows and movies. For my CPU I chose the AMD Ryzen 5 7600 e core. This is a powerful CPU based off the things I would use it for. For the memory and storage, I chose to go with the Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 32GB and the Samsung 970 EVO Plus SSD 1TB. This would be good memory and storage for me just because I want my computer to move fast and have enough storage to download and store my school assignments. The operating system i chose to use for my computer is the Microsoft OEM System Builder Windows 11 Pro. The operating system would be great for my computer; it's a new version and it supports the applications I use for school.
This project taught me a lot. I learned that there are many components that go into building a computer. Even with the computer being simply for homework and maybe to watch a few videos or movies on YouTube. While sitting and looking through all the different products, seeing the prices almost made me jump out of my chair. This project showed me that technology is changing every day and there are always new things to learn and review.
