Gaming and HTPC

by Fayette L Posted on: 10/13/2023

Build Description

This is a machine that runs great despite being a bit older. After adding a RX 580, 8GB of RAM to total 16GB, and a Samsung EVO 870 500GB SSD, this PC is able to run some older games in addition to serving as a general use computer. I am also able to use this for media streaming but plan on adding a larger HDD for offline media consumption. I have also managed to install macOS Ventura using OpenCore.

Favorite Feature

I love that I am able to dual boot both Windows 10 and macOS Ventura, providing me flexibility between both OSes.
