The "I Got Myself A Job And Can Finally Afford A Good PC" Build
by DANIEL C Posted on: 12/23/2022
Build Description
I built this rig to replace a dying gaming laptop that I had for my entire college run to celebrate getting a job. I edit some videos and plan to start streaming eventually so I wanted something that will game and stream for the next few years.
Favorite Feature
The fact that I walked into the Flushing Micro Center and found an open box RTX 3080 that wasn't even listed on the website for just a little more than the RX 6800 XT open box I was planning to get initially, and the fact that it's an EVGA card, so I pretty much have the end of an era in my system.
