PC Upgrade for my Sister
by Manuel L Posted on: 7/30/2020
Build Description
I bought a Macbook Air for my sister years ago and it seemed she was in need of an upgrade.
We went for an under $1000 budget on this build.
The main uses for the computer is to browse, watch videos, listen to music, and maybe light gaming in the future.
I was lucky to grab an open box for the GPU and it works well!
A 240mm AIO upgrade would be awesome for this build so it can help lower the temps compared to the stock cooler.
I added an additional two NZXT case fans as intakes in the front; I wasn't using them in my build and works perfect for here!

Favorite Feature
No RGB build! Worked out since my sister didn't want any lights in her build.
