I built it because i was sick of playing at 30 fps on an old work laptop, it is a gaming pc and i play multiple games. These range from War Thunder, to No Man's Sky, to even Satisfactory. I play many different games so I can't list them all or this list will go on forever, but it plays the games I want and I have no problems with it.

Even though I stream and play games on it, I also do video rendering for my edits and clips. I mainly just play RPG and FPS games, while being on a budget and it's one of my favorite computers I've built.

I built this PC for gaming because of the parts that I picked and this PC has came a long way with me and I am very happy and grateful for having this with me for future upgrades I might upgrade my CPU to a I9 14900K and the motherboard to get the maximum performance I can get. I'm so happy for taking all my time with this PC and saving up to build this amazing build.

Mini NAS with Proxmox This build was an attempt at a: Minimal Physical Space Power Efficiency Performance Cost I used the onboard NIC with a managed switch and "Tagged" VLAN IDs into a couple of subnets where different VMs reside. I'm running 4 instances of Ubuntu Server for security camera recordings, general file storage, backups (UrBackups) and DNS sink hole (AdGuard Home). None of these require much in regards of compute resources (memory/cpu). For this reason, the 8500G seems like a nice fit to balance performance, price and efficiency. Nothing special was configured with Proxmox and I have not explored any passthrough features yet with exception of passing a few mechanical drives to the security camera VM. At idle with (2) 7200 rpm 3.5" drives the power draw is ~42 watts. Without the mech drives it rest at 35 idle. In operation...it still generally rest in the low 45's with small bumps when the cache write to the mech drives spawns an actual write (all measured with a Kilo-A-Watt meter). If you want a small business/home server, with the option to host larger VMs that isn't terribly expensive or power hungry, this isn't a bad setup. You can certainly host my current 24/7 VMs on a much less capable system with no perceivable performance difference, but everything is a case of what-ifs, present circumstances and just having fun playing with new stuff. Power wise with x86 desktop systems, ATX boards, standard PSU's...this one runs about as light as any of them at idle. There are mini PC's that use a lot less power, but then you are generally using USB mass storage and lack a PCIe slot for expansion, which in my case, this was not acceptable. I am actually replacing a NUC that was currently using an external 8TB USB 3.0 drive and this ended up being a not so great solution for 24/7 camera recordings, it works but barely when dealing with 8+ 4k cameras and also needing to do remote playback. I hope this helps for those looking for information as a mini server. So far, no issues.

Built this AMD 8700G PC for coding and running programs that I need for my mad science lab, but looks like it will be my wife's PC instead. She will use it for general PC activities including some casual 1080p gaming (Secret World Legends, Entropia, and others that I don't know the names of). A few years from now, if her old Nvidia/Intel based gaming PC breaks down then I may overclock this one and/or add a video card, or maybe even drop in a new CPU. Am using the heat sink that came with the 8700G CPU, and during a bit of gaming the temp never got above 32 degrees C so I won't be upgrading to water cooling. It has very low power use and it is whisper quiet.
