Conclusion
So, if we were to make this computer, we will have
Graphics Card: Nvidia RTX 2080 TiCPU: Intel Core i7 any gen (preferably 8th gen)
RAM: Corsair’s Vengeance 8GBx2 (16GB)
Sound Card: Creative Sound Blaster Z
HDD: WD VelociRaptorMonitor: Asus MG248Q
Keyboard: Topre Realforce 104UBS Silent variable
Camera: Logitech C922 Pro Stream
Speaker: Logitech Z623 (Optional)
Microphone: Blue Yeti (Optional)
Mouse: Logitech MX Master 2S
Projector: Philips Pico PPX4010 (Required but only 1 since its use is for the whole class)
With this, our multimedia will be future proof for maybe 7-10 years.

Since in the internet, it says that newer i7 gen should be able to stay longer in a much more acceptable price than the i9. But the RTX 2080 Ti is future proof since it’s a newly released graphics card. Sadly, when I went to NetCom KB, I haven’t found any Nvidia RTX series yet. But we can order it from online.
