Computer Build

You're given $1000 of virtual money; build a desktop computer for yourself purchasing the parts individually from a retail store such as Newegg, Tiger Direct, or another local or online retailer. You do NOT have to include an operating system in this build. You also don't need to include the sales tax or shipping and handling. This computer will include speakers, monitor, keyboard and a mouse. Provide supporting arguments for each part you purchased. Pictures are welcome, but do NOT copy and paste information into your assignment. This is to be done in your OWN words.
