Custom PC Build

Overview

This project demonstrates hands-on hardware knowledge, careful component selection, and attention to detail in cable management and system optimization. The purpose of the build was to have a PC that could handle most games and any programs that would be used for engineering or programming. Several months of research were put into component selection. One of the main goals was future-proofing, which is why an AM5 motherboard was selected. Before purchasing the parts, compatibility was ensured by the use of pcpartpicker.com.
