CPU.
Power supply.
Motherboard and buses.
Memory.
Video Cards.
Audio.
Cooling.
Make sure to address the following using clear headers to separate sections:
Specify the OS and reasons that you chose it.
Specify the hardware components and why you chose them.
Explain which computer components are most important for driving the ultimate design of the computer.
Explain how the motherboard form factor governs the choice of dependent hardware.
Discuss the standards that determine CPU and motherboard compatibility.
