i5-2500k

Build Description
Primarily gaming. Held up surprisingly well over the years, only started to show its age just before COVID hit, then prices went berserk so I've managed to coax a couple more years out of it to let all the dust settle. Will probably replace it next year with something like the 7800x3D or maybe Meteor Lake.
Favorite Feature
Really like the Antec P180 case, nice clean look and super quiet. Was all the rage back when closed, sound-dampened cases were the way to go for silence. It seems like airflow cases are a necessity now with these high power graphics cards, so I guess my next case will be very different.

Ran at 4.4GHz for most of its life, backed it off a little a couple years ago while troubleshooting some instability.
