Build Description
I am a college student, and just a mid-level gaming guys, only do some GTAV, World of Warships, FFxiv and Assassin Creed games. I also need to run some programs on Unity. I understood I wont have a lot of money to buy all the greatest parts for the best gaming experience, but I still can enjoy most of them in a lower quality. I am also not a LED lover, so some LEDs will be enough for me. I am looking for some upgrades via Micro Center Atlanta for a better CPU(i5-12600K), which will need to buy a new motherboard(z690). They can be easy to find in Micro Center with good price which lower than anywhere else.
