For this project, I virtually built a PC. I used pcpartpicker.com to find all the components I needed to build my PC. My goal was to build a computer for advanced gaming use. I want to further my gaming lifestyle and start to post content on twitch and YouTube. This computer will allow me to take gaming to a new level compared to what I used to have.

I Learned that the CPU stands for central processing unit which is the primary component and processes the instructions. It runs the operating system and is always receiving input from the user or active software programs. It processes the data and produces output. I learned how to create a computer and what parts it needs. This lesson taught me that the motherboard allows communication between all the hardware components. Another lesson learned is when I should and should not use headings on a word document.
