SKing
What started as a simple SSD swap in an old Dell laptop turned into a full-blown PC building obsession. I planned a modest $1200-$1500 1080p gaming rig. That plan didn’t last long.
Soon, I was knee deep in the rabbit hole, comparing GPUs, chasing deals, and flipping parts. I went from an RX 6600 to a 5070… and finally landed on the PNY Epic X OC RTX 5070 TI ARGB. It’s fast, flashy, and solid with a Ryzen 5 9600X (that’ll eventually be upgraded to a 9900X3D).
The build? It’s a custom beauty: Lian Li LANCOOL 216 case (awesome airflow!), Lian Li SL-INF fans, 7TB of storage, 32GB of RAM, 27" OLED monitor, Dual Sense controller for gaming and Logitech Extreme 3D flight stick for MSFS, all tuned and clean. Temps stay cool, performance is nuts (up to 200+ FPS avg in BO6!), and everything just works.
I honestly call it the SKing because it simply runs things and yeah, I’m proud. I built this myself as a complete noob, watched endless tutorial videos, used a ton of chat GPT and learned a lot along the way. This isn’t just a PC build. It’s proof you can do anything you set your mind to!
