Birthday Build

Build Description
I built this gaming machine for myself a couple of years ago as a gift for myself for my birthday. I had a prebuilt up until this point and I upgraded some choice parts for it (memory, storage, power supply) but I really wanted to see if I was able to build a computer from scratch. My build proved very successful, and I still use it to this day.
Favorite Feature
I really enjoy the black and white color scheme that most of my parts have, as well. Also, despite it being an air cooled system, it’s very quiet under normal use.
