Building a Computer

The summer of 2017 was quite interesting for me, I started with a lot of free time and then it gradually started diminishing. During the time that I was free, I decided to put my free time to work by investing in a computer. I had never built a computer before and I figured it would be a beneficial summer project. I used PC Part Picker to pick out all the computer parts and check the compatibilities for it.

Once I had all the parts picked out and the money to purchase the parts I ordered all of it at once. Unfortunately, living it Hawaii, you have to pay the price of shipping, the shipping was a ridiculous amount and the estimated time of wait was an extensive amount. Although this was disappointing I was still excited to build my computer.

Eventually parts would come in one by one, but I did not want to start building until I got all the parts in. After all the parts came in I built, the process was somewhat confusing but mainly tedious. The cables were by far the worst part of the process, I wanted to organize the cables in a manner so that I would know what goes where. Once the computer was built I needed an Operating System and decided to put Windows 10.

Prior to building a PC, I knew little about the hardware that was involved in a computer. Also throughout the process of building I would do my own research on what hardware did what and how the computer actually operated. This project definitely taught me the inside and outside of PC’s.
