I made a computer that is good quality for gaming and that is going to last a long time without major complications. My goal was to stay under 1,500 and i did that. This project to me was for learning about the different parts of a computer and how they work.

I learned from this assignment that there is a lot that goes into the makeup of a computer, and that it's not just a monitor. When building a computer, it's good to look at the reviews so you know how well the parts you buy are. You want to check the reviews especially when certain things can be very costly. I learned how many options there are and a little more information on how each part works and helps contribute to the computer as a whole.
