First try

Build Description

To improve gaming performance, and as a media server, I decided to try my hand at my first pc build. Mainly built to play Destiny 2 and Assassin's Creed, I'm going to see what else i can get this machine to do. Future upgrades include a SSD for my main drive, a beefier CPU cooler, and a fully modular PSU for better cable management. Lighting isn't really at the top of my list, but maybe I'll change out the fans for some kind of ambient light.

Favorite Feature

Favorite thing about this build was the wealth of knowledge and experience I received from it. Not knowing key details like compatibility issues really made this whole experience quite interesting.
