What type of motherboard did you select and why? I chose a GIGABYTE Z590 Vision Thunderbolt motherboard because by what I could tell it was a very good motherboard. 2. What type of CPU did you select? Is it compatible with your motherboard? How do you know?

I chose a Intel CPU Core i3 3.6GHz 6MB LGA1200 4C CPU because it is a LGA1200 CPU which is compatible with my motherboard. 3. What type of RAM did you select? How much RAM? Why? Is it compatible with your motherboard? How do you know? I chose a Lexar Hades 16GB Kit DDR4 3600 MHz DRAM because my motherboard needs a DDR4 Ram for it to be compatible and this is what I went with. 4. What is the capacity of the magnetic hard drive you selected? It is a 20 TB hard drive. Go big or go home. 5. What is the capacity of the solid-state drive? How does the cost and capacity compare to the magnetic hard drive? The capacity of the solid state drive is only 1 TB. For 100$ it’s not as good compared to the magnetic hard drive I chose because the magnetic hard drive is 20 TB for 400$ which is 20 times the capacity for only 4 times the price. 6. What type of expansion slots does your motherboard have? Do they match your graphics card and sound card? The motherboard I chose has PCI Express slots which both my graphics card and sound card are compatible with. 7. Is there anything special about the mouse and keyboard you selected? What interfaces (ports) do they attach to? Nothing really special about them except they are RGB LED, they both connect to USB. 8. What is the wattage of the power supply you have chosen? Is it high enough to run your system? Any other special features? It is a 1250W power supply which is definitely enough to run everything, no other special features besides it has a silent cooling fan.

9. What is the total cost of your system? what could you change to reduce the price? Total price = $1,426.23. To reduce the price I probably could’ve looked at cheaper items for each component, like the magnetic hard five is 400$ on its own and much of the other items I looks at the best quality for how much it is. 10. If price wasn't a factor, what could you do to increase the performance of your system? I would look to get the absolute best items I possibly can to make my PC run the absolute best it can. Probably do a bit more research.
