*I built my first system in late 2021 after researching extensively for what felt like months. I was into Star Citizen at the time and this was what motivated me to build my first PC. This PC was a huge upgrade from my Dell Inspiron 5680 I was using at the time. I went for a no-RGB blackout build, only adding in the Phanteks Neon strips later in 2026.*

bought a prebuilt off of fb marketplace. it was a good deal, 600 bucks for what costed someone 1200 back in 2024. its my first pc, that of which ive been wanting for years now. im honestly not too sure how much its valued at, in fact, some of the selected products arent accurate but the closest i could find. my only major issue is that it doesnt have enough ram which makes it harder to play Beamng. but overall, its killer, runs amazing temps, never goes insane, no ticking or anything like that, thankfully.. and its just the start. i honestly wanna someday get my dream pc, but unfortunately it may take me up to 3-5 years to even afford it since im in a terrible financial position, not of my own doing. since this is basically a dream of mines to even own a pc of my own, im grateful and still very satisfied and happy. for anyone whos new to this or known to this, dont ever give up your dreams, i wont give up mines, and be strong.

I built this because my old one died, couple of the capacitors were swelling. I'm extremely excited about this build I haven't really tested it yet. I want to break it in before I do.

This PC is fast, reliable and can handle anything I throw at it.
I mostly game and make degenerate Ai videos for Instagram.
Can handle UE5 without a hassle.
MS Paint is in 5900892 FPS lol
I will upgrade GPU when i see that its actually worth it.
