Technical Support System Build

You are task with picking and choosing parts for a fictitious gaming computer build. Students should use an online site such as Newegg to research gaming motherboard and then research what processor, case, and power supply are compatible with the selected motherboard.

Please follow the requirements below to search on the web and put together advanced gaming system for a customer. Visit intel.com for advanced motherboards and CPUs. You can also visit geforce.com for advanced video card.

The customer doesn’t care about the cost!
