This PC was completed on February 6, 2016. I came from being a console peasant.
This PC can destroy any game at 1080p and 1440p.
I have given this PC 2 different names. "Arctic Hell" because my theme is red, but my temps are always below 60c. "Agile Grandpa" because the parts in it are multiple years old, but like said earlier, it can tackle any game.
My building experience building this rig was hell. This case is practically a Micro ATX-sized ATX case. The cable management experience almost made me want to kill myself. I suggest if you're going to buy this case, go SSD only because the HDD bays in the PSU Shroud are literally less than two inches away from the power supply, so it was almost impossible to get the cables to makes such a sharp turn.
With the negativity out of the way, this was still a blast to build, no matter how many meltdowns I had while building it. With this being my first build, the experience was great. When it is all complete, the only thing you can do is look at your new PC and think "Wow... I built this."
I plan on upgrading in the Winter of 2017/18 or Spring of 2018. Because although this rig is a beast, it is slowly drowning in the sea of demanding games. Plus, I want to get a good taste of dat Ryzen and Vega.
