For this assignment, we had to create a computer from scratch. I used the website newegg.com . Although I still don’t have much knowledge in computer parts, I look at the ratings and reviews in order to decide on which parts would be the best option. My goal, when creating this computer, was for it to be an all-purpose computer that I could use for school and personal use.

After completing this assignment, I learned what to look for when purchasing computer parts. One thing that I did learn was to compare the storage size. This was very important since I knew what use I wanted my computer to have.
