online computer hardware store

This project is designed to create an online platform where users can browse and select various computer parts, which can be assembled into a custom PC. The selected parts or pre-assembled PC are then delivered to the user's address.

The website allows users to choose from a wide range of computer components from different brands and models. Here's how the system works:

Project Workflow:

1. User Login: Users can log in to the website.

   • If the user is not registered, they will need to create a new account.

2. Product Categories: After logging in, the user will see different product categories such as:

   • Hard disk, motherboard, mouse, speakers, etc.

3. Product Selection: For example, when the user clicks on the "Motherboard" link, the motherboard selection page opens.

   • The user can browse through a list of motherboards from various brands, models, and makes.

4. Shopping Cart: The user is allowed to select the desired product and add it to their shopping cart.

   • The user can visit other pages (e.g., mouse selection, RAM selection, etc.) and add additional products to the cart.

5. Checkout: Once the user has finished shopping, a bill is generated displaying the products in the cart.

   • The user can then make a secure online payment to complete the transaction.

Thus, this Computer Hardware Store Website project provides an efficient and seamless process for shopping for computer parts and assembling a custom PC, all from the comfort of the user's home.
