Lesson Learned 

For this lesson I learned that there are a lot more factors and decision making involved when building a computer than I initially thought. I also learned that making a PC can be very expensive depending on what parts you decide to buy. My goal was to build my computer with a budget of two thousand dollars, I came close to it but didn't go over my amount so I'm happy about that. Overall, I enjoyed this project and I'm glad to say that I now have a general understanding of the process of building a PC!
