Clean and small AMD mid range build

by Michael T Posted on: 2/6/2023

Build Description

I last built a PC about 13 years ago, so I was due for an update. I didn't care about having the best graphics card or processor but wanted a smallish build that was all around capable and this PC is perfect so far.
I plan to do some moderate gaming on it. So far, I get about 120 FPS in Destiny 2 with max settings and load times are nearly non existent.

For the case, I really like the cable management, build quality, and air flow. However, good luck trying to fill the 2.5 and 3.5 slots with hard drives AND have clean cabling.

Everything booted great the first time. I did have to manually set the memory speeds to the faster EXPO.

Favorite Feature

I really like how clean and sleek the rig looks. The Lian Li 205M is a great size to put on your desk but not have it feel overpowering.
