The All-purpose Beast

Build Description
This was built primarily with the intention of gaming, as well as to get the full desktop PC experience I've been sorely missing. Of late, it's been far too much scrunching over the laptop that a high- performing 'entertainment' PC was in order. In addition to solo campaign RPGs, mmoRPGs, first-person shooters and battle royales both new and old (GW2, LoL, I'm looking at you), I've been particularly into exploration and survival games like the Flame in the Flood, Don't Starve, It Takes Two and the like.
In addition to the gaming function, this PC was also meant to serve as a sort of versatile, multi-talented HTPC power workstation.

Favorite Feature
While of course I love the crap out of this thing's guts, the rave girly part of me can't help but revel in the beauty of the case on this thing. With the glow from the ram, I really really love the look of this thing.
