🎯 Learning Intention

Today, I will apply my knowledge of hardware components and specifications to design a compatible computer build for a specific user scenario.

✅ Success Criteria

I can create a component list that is fully compatible, explain my choices, and organize them into a clear, professional proposal.

🌍 Why Are We Learning This?

IT professionals don’t just fix computers — they design them to meet specific needs. This project mirrors real-world client work where you balance compatibility, performance, and budget.
