Big Rig

Build Description
Gaming rig. I usually play some VR titles, Rocket League, Destiny 2, Risk of Rain 2, No Man's Sky.
The process was pretty simple. Installed CPU and heatsink into the Mother Board, as well as the ram, then set it down into the case. Bolted everything down then installed all of the other parts.
The strip of lights in the case was from a bulk roll of 5050 LEDs that I cut and soldered the connections on to it. One RGB header goes to the LED strip, and the second one goes to the fan controller included with the case so that ASUS Aura sync can control everything.
I also run an Oculus Rift S off of this rig, and it's handled everything quite well. This build could benefit from a newer GPU. I'm looking to probably upgrade the CPU to a Ryzen 7 3700x when the 4000 series hits stores and pushes the price down on the 3000s.
I chose the AverMedia capture card over the usual ElGato. The AverMedia was on sale, so I got it for a steal, and it's extremely easy to use.

Favorite Feature
I really love my capture card, AverMedia Live Gamer HD 2. It's great for streaming what I'm playing on my PS4, and it works great with OBS.
