Work from home plus light gaming

by danieldore Posted on: 3/4/2022

Build Description

This is my primary work from home PC for writing, video editing, and light programming. It's also my gaming PC for the light gaming and emulators I play.

Everything is no-nonsense and the best bang-for-the-buck possible - processor, RAM, and motherboard bought on sale, graphics card was MSRP, etc.

Favorite Feature

The Be Quiet! fans spinning at low speed keeps everything cool and very quiet (hence the name, I guess)
