First Budget PC Build
by John L Posted on: 12/23/2022
Build Description
This PC was built so that I could separate gaming and productivity/work onto separate devices. This device is meant for gaming, while my gaming laptop is now meant for school and professional work.
Favorite Feature
Case is a great size for college dorms (fits in a smaller form factor while maintaining the "normal" PC appearance that most people can still recognize)
