Burning Ocean
by Matthew F Posted on: 6/30/2022Build Description
This is my first PC i every build, and only my second PC ever too. This build was originally for gaming, but I don't really game that much if at all. I build this computer for just over $500 at first, but now including my peripherals and upgrades I'm down over $1000(including gifts). Best part is none that has gone to a gpu, i build this computer in the middle of the shortage and still haven't been able to get one/ have the money to get one. My future plans will be to upgrade the case to the Thermaltake core p3 or p1(depending on if i want to mini itx or not). Not only that but with this build i would love to get an AIO or a full custom water loop, since i do plan to have this computer for a while and just upgrade the parts. Thats most of my future planes beside just upgrading a part here and there. Although it's not a very high-end computer I still love it, especially the moment when i first hit the power button.
Favorite Feature
My favorite part of my computer has to be my Sandisk m.2 drive, its a 1 terabyte drive that i got on sale for only like $90 originally like $200.(least favorite part is rgb software)
