What I learned from this is how expensive building your own computer can be. I did not know that graphics cards could be $300, most of the time when people say they can build their own computer for around that much. I also did not take into account the number of parts you must put together to build your own computer, it seems like such a time-consuming task. This assignment was very interesting to do, and made me respect pc builds more.
