Build Your Own Computer
Comp 129-PC Hardware and Software | Build Your Own Computer | | | Andrew J Stears | 4/6/2013 |
Here is an itemized list of all Hardware, Software and components used to build my dream machine. I don’t feel you can compare this PC to any major brand such as HP, Dell, or Gateway. Except maybe the Blu-ray Combo Drive and Monitor. Most PC’s they manufacture are standard Home and office PC’s. The Reasoning behind my purchases was for building an Extreme PC for a Hard Core Gamer that may compete on a professional level.
