a) Based on your hobby/project to briefly describe the ways in which the computer would be used (you are not to use more than 600 words for this). You should for example discuss the types of programs/packages that will be used.
The computer will be used for study reasons and also to watch films, due to having a budget to maintain I felt it would have been expensive to put together a computer for multimedia and gaming purposes. Therefore I will be working closely with the budget and inspecting every component price.
A computer system consists of hardware and software. Hardware is the equipment, which makes up the computer system. The Hardware will consists of Input devices such as keyboard and mouse, also output devices such as a monitor and backing storage devices such as CD drive, DVD drive. The hardware that I will use is: Mouse, Keyboard and Monitor. The internal component will consist of a motherboard, RAM, CPU, Hard disk, Power supply and graphics/video card.
Not a single component of the computer system or a separate device will be pre-prepared for. The entire computer will be built from scratch upon the recommendation of those hardware devices that are necessary to the task. I will specify the components for the computer system which I will acquire a base unit and all internal components, a mouse and keyboard also any external CD or DVD drive needed for the system. I will also need to buy a monitor and a legal operating system. However I will not have to include external devices such as scanners, printers, USB memory sticks etc. Also I won’t have to include any software e.g. Microsoft Words, Photoshop other than an operating system.
Besides the components that are required the computer will be used for project reasons, an indication of the types of programs/ packaging used to complete the task will include an operating system like Microsoft windows or Mac. In computing, an operating system is the system software
