Pre-College Build
by Daniel C Posted on: 7/18/2022Build Description
I build this mainly for gaming but I will also use it for school as well. I began with the stock Intel 12th gen cooler but decided I needed something better looking so I upgraded to the ID-Cooling AIO because it matched my aesthetic. Runs all of the games I have at 1080p high settings. I play Seige, Ark, Rocket League and some smaller games like Phasmophobia and War Thunder as of right now. I also used the Tecware Phantom 87 keyboard chassis to make a completely custom keyboard. I tape modded, bought Akko Radiant Red switches, lubed them with Gliging 205 GO, and bought YMDK PBT Keycaps to match the grey theme I had going. Mic is an old Turtle Beach Stealth 400 I got when the PS4 first came out and has worked like a dream since then. Also using a Logitech g502 as my mouse.
