How To Build A Computer Under $2500
Explanation Paper
I received $2,500 to build a computer for tech school, but there is a catch: I was expected to return some of the money. Normally this would not have been a problem, but evidently tech schools are now checking for pirated software. My personal computer was not allowed to go with me to tech school. I had to come up with a computer that was under $2,500.
I started with the first thing needed, the case. I purchased a basic case, which was nothing fancy. It was a Mid-Tower case with sliding side panels. The case came with two USB ports on the front and a 300-watt power supply. Normally, I would not have gone below a 400-watt power supply, but on a limited budget this would work if I did not fill the computer up. The case has four external 5.25 bays, 2 3.5 external bays, and 1 3.5 internal bay. The price of this case was $42.99.
After I picked out the case, I needed to start filling it. I picked out a motherboard and CPU bundle because it was cheaper. I would have bought
