Build Description
This was my first ever pc build. I built this pc to play esports titles like Valorant and Fortnite on low setttings and it has served me well. I an planning on getting a used gtx 1060 as I am using integrated graphics right now. I'm still working on the cable management lol. This build costed me around $300. My specs were
- i3 10105 ($90 because it was on sale Micro center)
- MSI H510m pro MOBO ($80 Microcenter)
- UpHere 3x fans ($15 Amazon)
- Ares Game 500w PSU 80+ bronze ($30 Amazon)
- Aerocool cyclone (Amazon $50)
- 2x8gb 3200mhz corsair ram ($60 microcenter)
- Free 240gb ssd that I got from microcenter

Favorite Feature
My favorite part of this build is that fact that I built such a powerful pc for such a low price. For example I was able to get the i3 for $90 instead $110 and was able to save $25 by using the free ssd from microcenter. I could have also saved another $30 by using a coupon that saves you $30 on any cpu, but at the time I didn't know that there was such thing.
