Project Description
This Project required us to use a computer part website to build a virtual computer made to function in a specific way or for a specific use. I used PC Part Picker to design a computer that would be optimal for video editing as well as a good computer for everyday use that would be similar to something I would like to own in the future.

Lessons Learned
Throughout this lesson I learned not only the different components of a computer and what their purpose was, but I also learned how to format word documents in an organized and visually appealing way. When Building my virtual computer, I found that its really easy to rack up the cost when you aren't planning on actually buying all the parts after building the computer. Overall I really enjoyed this project and look forward to hopefully building a similar computer in real life one day.
