Build Description
I built my first computer in late 2017, and six years later I figured it was time for an upgrade. Being a fresh college graduate, I needed to be on a budget if I wanted an upgrade. So I decided to upgrade my CPU, GPU, Motherboard, and PSU. This is the finished product... for now.

Currently, I'm using [ADATA XPG Spectrix D60G 16GB (2 x 8GB) DDR4-3000 CL16] but this will probably be my next upgrade.

Actually the 850 version from 2017. Again just have it so why not use it. Obviously, I will upgrade this eventually to something not so ancient and small.
