Introduction Page:

Auntie Beyonce, I have chosen to build my PC instead of buying a prebuilt computer. The cause
for this is because of the way I intend on using my PC, as I plan on using it for playing video
games. The PC alone is quite pricey, it is approximately $1450.92 including taxes and shipping.
Though this may seem like a lot, I think you should also take into account how expensive PC
parts, especially CPUs, Graphics cards and Motherboards have gotten since Covid has started.
There has been an extreme amount of decline since many workers were either laid off or not
working at all. The application I plan on using is Google Chrome as it is what I am the most
familiar with and have the most experience with. Another reason I plan on using google chrome
is that I can use Steam and download my games off that. Another application I plan on using is
Twitch to start my gaming channel. I will use twitch on my PC so I can start streaming gameplay
of me playing video games. Another reason I intend on getting this PC is because of school
work. As the years pass by technology and the internet takes over more and more each day, and
because of quarantine people are forced to work online. Covid has made it so 99% of our work is
now online, and since I don't have any devices besides my iPhone I need another device so I can
stay more organized, and on top of school work. Without a PC it would be extremely hard to
manage my work and I would most likely start failing my classes since most teachers make you
turn in assignments, as well as do tests online.
