Each team will have a preset budget of $1,000 and you must find the prices and description for all the computer components listed below. You will use Microsoft Excel (template included) to create a table that includes the individual price and description of each component.

You will create a presentation of PowerPoint describing and illustrating all of the components of your PC.
