1. Choice of Computer and features:
The computer that shall be chosen will have the primary objective of performing
efficiently for the purpose of gaming. The computer features as well as the components shall
be chosen considering the fact that the computer will have the potential ability to run high
configuration games with ease and with smooth functionality (Betancourt et al., 2018).
Hence, the following features and components shall be included for building the computer,
i) Processor- the processor shall be of high quality to ensure the fact that games run
