We were assigned to make a computer for an imaginary client. (bulid a computer as in collect parts online) These were the client's requirements.
-Under $1000 -2 hours gaming daily -school work At that point, we had to figure out what kinds of questions we were to ask the client. -Preferred OS -Any preferences as to how much money is contributed into certain parts -etc. We were to then select our parts. I personally used a website called pc part picker, as it made picking parts to put a computer together very easily. Not only did it list the parts you may have been missing, but it also showed you total price, and gave you a stats list afterwards. Below is that stat list of all the parts I chose and why. Client: -Under $1000 -Homework -2 Hours Gaming Parts: PCPartPicker part list: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/kkzJNN Price breakdown by merchant: https://ca.pcpartpicker.com/list/kkzJNN/by_merchant/ CPU: Intel Core i5-4460 3.2GHz Quad-Core Processor ($236.98 @ DirectCanada) Because it is the best CPU you can get for the price point. Motherboard: ASRock Z97 Anniversary ATX LGA1150 ($69.97 @ NCIX) Because it is very reliable and good for its price point. Memory: G.Skill Ripjaws X Series 8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3-2133 Memory ($74.99 @ Newegg Canada) Because 8 gb is a fair amount of memory, and two sticks looks cooler than one. Storage: Western Digital Caviar Blue 1TB 3.5" 7200RPM Hard Drive ($62.95 @ Vuugo) Because it has a lot of storage and is at a reasonable price point. Video Card: PNY GeForce GTX 960 2GB XLR8 Video Card ($271.84 @ Amazon Canada) Because it is good video card that will make the gaming experience better. Case: NZXT S340 (White) ATX Mid Tower Case ($84.98 @ NCIX) Because it is a good looking case that has all the basic features. Power Supply: EVGA SuperNOVA NEX 650W 80+ Gold Certified Fully-Modular ATX Power Supply ($50.17 @ Amazon Canada) Because it is a reliable power supply. Case Fan (x2): NZXT FZ-120mm LED 59.1 CFM 120mm Fan ($4.99 @ Memory Express) Because they are very price savvy and come with two. Monitor: Acer G226HQLBbd 21.5" 1920x1080 60Hz Monitor ($109.99 @ NCIX) Because a 1080p/60Hz monitor for the price is good. Keyboard: Cooler Master CM Storm Devastator Gaming Bundle Wired Gaming Keyboard w/Optical Mouse ($32.54 @ DirectCanada) Because it is a very good keyboard for the price, and also comes with a mouse. OS: LINUX (Free) Because it is a good alternative to Windows 10 that will save you $150. Total: $1004.39 Prices include shipping, taxes, and discounts when available It is slightly above budget, but I don’t think that $4 is really much of a deal breaker. That is my computer parts list, I believe it is pretty good. I hope that I did a good job.
