Making my own computer system

This week I am going to write about how much my computer system will cost to build if I intend to build the computer system myself. I have worked out how much my computer will cost on a MS Excel spreadsheet, which includes the appropriate software and components needed for my computer to be functional. I have also included cost for each item, because this will give me guidance on the estimated cost of the system and its requirements to become operational, by selecting appropriate software/hardware.

The reason why I have chosen to build my own computer is because I have learnt that it has known to be cheaper than buying standalone computer system, because you can use components/ software that you want, which is optimal for your user need. If you bought a standalone computer system you might not need/want some of the features or its just not what you thought the system is going to be like i.e. user experience and the hardware specification does not fulfil the performance that you desire.
