The Death Star

Build Description
I built this computer, first and foremost, because my aging laptop from 2011 was on its last legs. I've always wanted to get into computer gaming, so I used that as an initial focus when generating my parts list. However, since I do code, edit photos/video and some music production, I needed to make sure I found a balance in gaming performance and productivity. I think I did quite nicely, both with the spec list as well as the actual look.
Favorite Feature
I loved the look of the case (NZXT H510 Elite in black) the first time I saw it, so I knew it was a must have and actually was the very first part I bought, ultimately committing myself to doing a build at some point.
