First PC build
by Danielle K Posted on: 8/31/2020Build Description
This computer is my first pc build, and it turned out really well! This is a gaming pc, which I built to replace and upgrade from my old prebuilt pc. Games I’ve been playing include tomb raider, fallout 4, jedi: fallen order, skyrim, red dead II, witcher III, and dishonored (1 and 2).
I got a great deal on a motherboard/cpu/m.2 ssd bundle, and I’m really happy with all three. My old computer had a mechanical hard drive, and the difference in speed between that old laggy drive and an m.2 drive is unreal. I am planning to get a second ssd in the future, but for the moment my 1tb m.2 is working well and I’m not running out of space anytime soon. I can’t state enough how great the graphics card is, going from a gtx 660 to an rtx 2060 is like night and day, and I am absolutely in love with it! Overall this build has been fantastic - I didn’t have too much trouble figuring out how to put everything together, and I can’t find a single thing to complain about with how it’s been working. The wattage on my power supply is probably overkill, but that’s not exactly a bad thing. After building my own gaming pc, I don’t think I’m ever going back to prebuilts!
