Goals

Learn how to build the most effective Gaming PC based on 3 main factors, Performance, Cost, and Cooling. I will research the most optimizable parts for my pc and which are most effective.

Initial Research Question

My research question is: How to build the most optimized PC based on its performance, cost, and cooling? To answer this question, I would need to go through a process that would identify these 3 main points. The performance regards to how powerful and how efficiently the PC works. The cost is how much my budget will be. The cooling is how much air is being taken in and taken out of the PC, which in turn cools down the parts too limit damage and increase performance

Global Context

My Global Context is Scientific and Technical Innovation. his context is the best fit for my project as it focuses on the main technology in this day and age, that being computers. Even today, PC’s are still being revolutionized, made better, more efficient at a lower cost. The focus on science lies on how the parts in a PC will be connected and what allows them to be connected, such as thermal conduction, electromagnetism, etc.

Proposal

For building a pc I will analyze and focus on the parts I choose, mainly look at the cooling. These types of cooling consist mainly of air cooling and liquid cooling. This cooling helps to keep the pc at a temperature that does not burn or break any of the other components as they are very delicate. I will consist of around 14 sources of resources in total. These consist of interviews with professionals in the field of engineering and physics, websites, guides (videos), books regarding the science and structure, etc. I will also go to the main websites for the parts for my criteria as they will provide the information about the parts. I want to learn how to build an effective pc, with focusing on the temperatures and the rates at which the cpu (3.5-4.0GHz) work. This information will be provided from the monitor connected to the pc.

By using different coolings (as it is a main part in having good performance) will help me understand how each part works individually. By having the right temperature and good performance will limit any damage to the pc and overall help me learn the physics as well the function of the parts and how they work together.
