Assignment Title: Building Your Dream PC: A Comprehensive Project
1
Objective:
The objective of this final project is to plan, source, and build your
own custom PC. Students will apply their knowledge of computer hardware,
research, and budgeting to create a detailed plan for building a high-
performance PC tailored to their specific needs.
Assignment Guidelines:
1. Research and Planning (Weeks 1-2):
a.
Define Purpose and
Requirements:
- Identify the intended use of the PC (e.g., gaming, content
creation, productivity). - List the specific hardware requirements based on the
intended use.
b.
Budgeting:
- Establish a realistic budget for the entire project. - Research
and compare prices for essential components.
2. Component Selection (Weeks 3-6):
a.
CPU, GPU, and Motherboard:
-
Select a CPU and GPU that align with your performance needs. - Choose a
compatible motherboard that meets your requirements.
b.
Memory and Storage:
- Decide on the amount and type of RAM suitable for
your tasks. - Choose storage solutions (SSD, HDD) based on capacity and speed
needs.
c.
Power Supply and Cooling:
- Select an appropriate power supply unit
(PSU) based on your components. - Choose a cooling solution that suits your
system's thermal requirements.
d.
Case and Aesthetics:
- Choose a case that accommodates your selected
components and fits your aesthetic preferences. - Consider additional aesthetic
components (LEDs, cable management) if desired.
3. Component Sourcing (Weeks 7-10):
a.
Online Retailers:
- Identify
reputable online retailers for purchasing PC components. - Provide links to the
selected components from reliable sources.
b.
Shipping and Delivery:
- Consider shipping costs, delivery times, and
return policies. - Plan the order of component purchases for optimal timing.
4. Assembly (Weeks 11-12):
a.
Step-by-Step Assembly Guide:
- Create a
step-by-step guide for assembling your PC. - Include safety precautions and
best practices.
b.
Troubleshooting:
- Develop a troubleshooting plan in case of any issues
during assembly. - Include resources or forums where additional help can be
found.
5. Testing and Benchmarking (Week 13):
2
Perform initial system testing to ensure all components are functioning
correctly.
Conduct benchmark tests to evaluate the performance of your custom
PC.
6. Documentation and Reflection (Weeks 14-15):
a.
Documentation:
-
Document the entire process with detailed notes, images, and diagrams. -
Include a list of tools used and any challenges faced.
b.
Reflection:
- Write a reflective essay discussing what you learned from the
project. - Consider challenges, successes, and how the project aligns with your
overall educational goals.
Submission:
Submit a comprehensive report including the planning,
component selection, sourcing, assembly guide, testing results, documentation,
and reflection. Include links to the selected components and adhere to the
given timeline.
Evaluation Criteria:
The assignment will be assessed based on the following
criteria:
