It all started in December 2018 - A conversation struck between a co-worker and I about what games we enjoy. He was persistent to encourage me to build a computer for myself and to get away from console gaming. Honestly I was actually considering buying a pre-built rig. January 2019 - I had been discussing the idea of buying a computer with a long-time friend who ensured to me that building a computer of your own is much easier than it seems and that it just takes time. Properly encouraged, I went out to Canada Computers and purchased an ATX DeepCool case for just under $100. That was the start of an experience that I would suggest to anyone who is interested, but thinks it would be difficult, to dive into the hobby and research as much as possible. It can be quite fun actually. That same month another friend of mine was encouraged to build a PC of his own and in the span of about a year we were able to put together each of our own custom rigs with a GTX 1070. January - April 2019 - I temporarily used my friend's components to play games as he was unable to have them at his house. I got used to the world of PC gaming as I did previously own a PC my parents had bought me back in 2003. Halo: CE was the game of choice. April 2019 - I had my friend's motherboard in my ATX case as I was unable to afford to progress at the time. Talk about bad timing for trying to build a PC. A week later he found his own case online for cheap and we transferred the guts over. Near the end of April 2019 - I was hired at a new job that allowed me to buy my remaining components one by one. As soon as everything was in my hands I went to my long-time friend's place and we put everything together! Ill admit, with a few issues. Thanks to the advice of Linus, Bitwit, JayzTwoCents & so many others, the build posted without any concerns. I was extremely excited to finally be able to join the PC Master Race family with my very own build and I have been slowly upgrading here and there ever since. June 2020 - I was able to pick up some white cables to replace the stock black cables. July 2020 - I invested into an MSI GeForce RTX 2070 Super even though I am aware the prices might be fluctuating in anticipation of the 3000 series cards. Thank you for taking the time to review my build's history and where I have come to now.

I mostly play Fortnite, Minecraft, Jurassic World Evolution, Apex Legends and more. I got everything at a very reasonable price. I only have 8gb of ram right now. I plan to upgrade more in the future. I also want a better cpu as I got the Intel Core I5. I have two samsung monitors connected to the pc. The Radeon 570 8gb may not be the best gpu out there. But it is perfect for me. I got a 750 watts power supply which might be overkill but it is a good choice when making upgrades. I will also add more hard drives because I have a 1tb seagate firecuda. I got a gaming motherboard that has a great bios.I don't have good cable managment with the limited space there was with the case. I love the case of course. It has just one horizontal RGB strip but so many choices of colors and modes. Overall, I am having a great experience with my pc. It runs flawlessly with minecraft. A few bumps with Fortnite but it is still so good. Once again I am SO happy with the result. I love my Pc and wish to keep it for many years.
