Project Description
I want my PC build to be white and have a variety of accessories for optimal experience. For example, there will be skates and a mousepad so that my Razer Viper Mini mouse can move as quickly as possible. The optical sensor allows for quick reading of my movements. Aside from the accessories, I carefully selected each piece based on real reviews and value to quality ratios. I wanted to find parts that would give me the most ”bang for my buck”. I also wanted the PC to be aesthetically pleasing for the most part which is why nearly every part is white. The parts that aren’t white are because I didn’t want to compromise quality for the colorless aesthetic effect.

Lesson Learned
I learned how intricate selecting computer components can be. I had initially ignored the compatibility aspect between my components, and this made me re-select my motherboard. Overall. I found PC building to be a very fun process. Using PCPartPicker.com and Newegg.com made this process so much easier. Seeing how achievable this can be, I almost want to save for a PC, myself. Not only are the opportunities to customize the PC parts limitless, but customizing your keyboard can be too. Some switches can be swapped out, keycaps changed, lubing switches to produce different sounds, etc. If your keyboard allows it, the RGB lighting can also be customized.
