There were many things I learned while doing this virtual computer build. I did not realize how expensive the various parts were to build a computer. I was trying to make it an affordable computer, but it was not easy and not exactly possible. My computer build is around the same as a good laptop would cost.
I am building this computer for a college student who wants an efficient and fast computer with plenty of storage since she will need this for 4 years. I used the website PCPartpicker.com to build my computer virtually and they give the detailed price and description.
