Build Description
I finally upgraded my CPU and motherboard (with new cooling) over Christmas! I previously used internals from my ancient XPS 8700 for over six years. I am a design student still running on four cores and looking to go to 10. I'm loving water cooling and RGB for the first time, as well as this being my first color-themed build. I bit the bullet and got a beautiful white case!
Favorite Feature
I love my 4000d. It's the best case that I've worked with. A lot of my friends have H510's, and they suffer from pretty stagnant airflow... meanwhile my build sits on top of my corner desk (above my monitor) and barely reaches 60 C!

A gift from my boyfriend! His old CPU. Overclocked to 4.6 GHz. Already looking to upgrade but I've got Adobe and CAD products running all the time!

Not sure which version I have because of the Christmas gift nature. Not quite this expensive but still need to get myself an M.2 :)

I bought this from Microcenter Marietta 4 years ago!!! I thought $300 was a lot for a GPU then and almost sprung for the 1080 Ti... what a time.
