Class Experience

This class has been taught to over 3000 students and counting!!!.  In over two years of teaching this course now we are back to a time where you can find graphics cards relatively cheap and hence powerful cheap computer builds are returning.  In this course, I will show you how to gather a list of parts to build a computer capable of playing the video games you want to play. We will also discuss how to choose the right parts for those specific games. Students will learn how to design and build this computer.  I will then demonstrate how most parts fit together to familiarize students with the process.  In addition, the class will cover how to install the OS (Windows 10) at little cost for the newly created PC.   This class is presented so that students can build their skills to become proficient pc techs.  My students come from all over the world and all are welcome.  I find that most computer prices are the same around the world and PC technology is the same in the States as in every other countries.  Several past students have messaged me and shared they have utilized the strategies taught in class to save between 25% to 50% off the total cost of building their computers.  There are no parts lists or parts needed prior to attending the class.  We will have fun, learn a lot, and free follow-up help and advice via email is always available.   I have been building computers for over 20 years in addition to teaching this exact topic to high schoolers.   I have a unique knowledge of gaming/ buying/ selling/ and building tech that I bring to the table. I hope to share my knowledge, save you potential hassles with incompatible hardware and maximize the speed of your computer for the lowest cost.    See you in class!!  I don't use a simulator!!  I use real parts and demonstrate building a real computer!!!
