Build Description

Combo purpose! Remote work, gaming, and general home use. I'm a prepress artist, so I need the real estate of a 34" monitor (3440x1440 resolution). Definitely a bonus when it comes to epic immersive gaming, which consists of mostly FPS and RPGs (Skyrim, Witcher, and the like). Also like simulation now and then, such as Kerbal Space Program, some racing and sci-fi/flight sims.

Definitely MUST upgrade my video card, most likely to a 2000-series NVIDIA RTX card, but not ruling out high end AMD Radeon cards either. Some day.

Favorite Feature

Has to be the case, a Thermaltake Core V21. The sheer versatility and flexibility it offers is second to none, especially when considering how inexpensive it is (bought @ Micro Center). Have to love how it offers either a vertical or horizontal motherboard setup, and I currently have it for horizontal which allows for tons of clearance for those big aftermarket CPU fan/heatsinks as well as monstrous video cards. Bonus? No GPU sag in this configuration!
