The Old Beast

Build Description
I enjoy gaming. In it's day, this thing was good. Named Beast after it's Apevia BEAST Power Supply. Now, it needs taken out back behind the barn and shot. With the old AM3 chipset non-UEFI motherboard, I've upgraded everything I can to get the most out of it. Now it's just aging poorly and vomiting cords. Time for a new rig. HELP!
