First Gaming Rig
by JESSICA G Posted on: 9/14/2023
Build Description
I recently built my first gaming PC, sourcing parts online and getting some help from a MicroCenter employee to put it all together. It's been an eye-opening experience, especially since I've primarily been a console gamer before this.
The difference in gaming is like night and day. Even older titles look completely different on this rig. I couldn't resist going back and playing the Dead Space trilogy, and it's like I'm playing these games for the first time. The high FPS and refresh rate make me realize how much I was missing out on with my previous gaming setup.
