The 2020 Big Rig
by Andy H Posted on: 1/5/2022
Build Description
I was working in California at the time, and had my gaming PC there. When flying back to Massachusetts, I didn't have a PC to game on, and I just felt with the new generation of parts, it was time to build a new one. So, I took the leap and decided to start compiling a new, upgraded rig for when I would fly home! The main components are an i7-10700k and a MSi Gaming X Trio 3070 at the heart of the project. I was lucky enough to get a 3070 through notification at around 3 in the morning. Thus, my 2020 "away" build was born and has been a delight to game on since!
Favorite Feature
Honestly, I really like how the all black theme came out! It was somewhat unintentional but at the same time I was conscious of the aesthetics of all the parts I was selecting. (Please pardon the wrap still on the PC glass, I'm a big preservation guy and wasn't using it a ton when I built it!)
