Type of computer
For this project, I've decided that I want to make a gaming pc, as I wish to make my own games when I get more experience, so this would act as a starting point to that moment. The price range for this project was $1500, and I managed to make it to $1014.84.

Some explanation
The idea was to try and make the computer as compatable as possible. For example, making sure that the raijintek case is compatible with the motherboard and cooling fan, along with components made for 750 watts of power.
