Project Description

       For this project, I decided to design my dream gaming computer. I used the site Pc Part Picker when putting this list together. I really wanted a computer with a large amount of storage space, a fast processor, and a video card capable of displaying high-definition graphics. My dream is to have my computer be able to run Skyrim with a collection of 1000+ mods in order to completely revamp the game graphics and storyline. I also wanted it to match a pink anime aesthetic.

Lessons Learned

       The main takeaway I got from this is that my dream computer does not currently exist within my budget. I could likely save money but not having so many parts be pink but honestly I rather not compromise. If I get to point where I can afford this, I would really enjoy putting it all together and seeing the finished project.

Total Cost: $3,555.25
