Gaming PC 01

Build Description

My kids and I build this PC as a gaming rig. They have been asking for a gaming PC and I thought building it together from the ground up would be a great way to spend a Saturday afternoon together. For now we have no future upgrades in mind other that cable extensions for the it to look cooler and also to allow better cable management. I don't think there's anything I would have done differently other than to caution my kids that once built, the process of installing and bring the OS up to date would take som additional time. They just wanted to download games right after the BIOS screen came up!

Favorite Feature

As a first time builder I really appreciate the clear panel that allows all of the RBG lights to be seen. I remember PC's back in my day were just that beige color and didn't look as cool as these new builds.
