For this project, I constructed a virtual PC using PCPartPicker.com to source essential components of highly qualified items at reasonable prices. I adhered to my $1700 budget and successfully constructed a functional computer with high-quality items that were aligned with my preferences and overall budget constraints. This was a fun project that I hope to bring to life when I have saved enough money.

I learned many new things when forming this project. I learned that not using a CPU cooler when building a PC can cause your computer to overheat and potentially get damaged. I learned that building a PC can be much more expensive than buying a pre-built one, which was shocking to me. I learned that building a computer requires following directions, finding preferred parts, and considering various options when choosing specific parts.
