Functional Midrange PC

Build Description
This was an affordable gaming PC made with a college students budget. I have slowly upgraded various parts throughout the years and am planning on giving my motherboard a last hurrah with the 5800x3d. Also planning on changing the case for something a little cuter.
Favorite Feature
It was really affordable to create this build (originally), and was it was able to play every game I wanted. I also like that when upgrading I can keep the older parts and eventually would like to use this parts to make a PC for someone.
