Executive Summary

Computer System Recommendation

Introduction
This PC is designed to deliver high performance on all of today's most popular games without being
complicated to build or costing too much. It will run well at high settings on 1080p or higher when
playing Valorant, Fortnite, Minecraft, Call of Duty, Rainbow Six Siege, Apex Legends, and more. In this
project, I will be recommending option 2 [Designing a high-end gaming PC] for $2000.

Problem Summary
STEP 1: Install CPU

Parts/tools: Motherboard, CPU

Take the motherboard out of its antistatic packaging and put it on your work surface. Find the CPU
socket, which will be covered with a protective plastic cap. In one corner of the plastic cap, or more
commonly, on the socket itself, you'll see a small arrow—take note of where this arrow is.

Next to the CPU socket, you'll see a small metal lever. Press down on the lever and pull it gently to the
side (away from the socket) to open the socket tray.

STEP 2: Install Motherboard

Parts/tools: Case, motherboard, I/O shield (if not attached to the motherboard), Phillips #2 screwdriver,
screws, motherboard user manual

If your motherboard came with an unattached I/O shield—a rectangular sheet of metal with cutouts for
the motherboard's ports—you should first snap it into place in the back of your case (make sure it's
oriented correctly). I/O shields usually have sharp edges, so watch your fingers.

Once the I/O shield is in place, you can install the motherboard. Double-check to make sure your cables
are all threaded through to the correct place, and then place the motherboard (align it with the I/O
shield, first). Using a Phillips #2 screwdriver, mount the first screw—the center screw—to hold the
motherboard in place. Make sure you do not drag your motherboard across the standoffs attached to
the chassis.
STEP 3: Install CPU Cooling

Parts/tools: Motherboard with installed CPU, CPU cooler, thermal paste, CPU cooler manual

There are different types of CPU coolers. For exact installation instructions, we recommend you consult
the manual that came with your CPU cooler. Some coolers require a mounting bracket. The motherboard
may have a bracket pre-installed; you may need to remove this bracket if your cooler doesn't need a
bracket, or replace this bracket if your cooler uses a different bracket. Do this before putting the
motherboard inside the case.

STEP 4: (Optional) Do a Test Run Outside the Case

Parts/tools: Motherboard with CPU and CPU cooler installed, RAM, GPU, PSU, screwdriver, motherboard
user manual, PC monitor (attached to GPU)

Now that you've installed the CPU and the CPU cooler, you may want to perform a quick test run of your
components just to make sure they all work. This test is much more difficult to perform (and
troubleshoot) once everything is installed in the chassis. To do this, install GPU and connect everything to
the power supply (if you don't know how to install the GPU, see section below). Make sure the power
supply is connected to the motherboard (both CPU 8pin and 24pin) and GPU, then plug it in and turn it
on.

Analysis Findings
My research gotten from PCPartPicker.com indicates that, a high-end PC is a computer with top-shelf
hardware. It combines a powerful graphics card with a fast 8-core [or more] CPU with high-capacity
RAM to deliver the best gaming experience available on the market. High-end PCs are assembled for
high refresh rates and high-resolution gaming.

Cooling: There are many ways to keep a CPU cool, from mineral oil to passive cooling, but by
far the most popular solutions are air or liquid CPU coolers. These coolers offer a host of features and
options for just about any use case, from desktops to portable systems. Correctly applied thermal paste
is also a key part of any cooling solution, as it acts as a bridge between the CPU and the cooling plate of
the CPU cooler.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AIR FLOOR.

A good PC Case should account for airflow, either by optimizing fan placement or by providing airflow
options to the builder.
