About this blog

Every month, usually in the first week, I make a PC build that I would build for myself if I needed a new PC with a $1,000 budget. This means that the build has a tempered glass side panel, is color neutral/RGB, and is generally something I would want to display on my desk. It's not necessarily trying to cram as much performance as possible into a system.

 

I decided I would share these, so we can see when the biggest improvements in price/performance happen, and can track the evolution of mid-high end PC gaming.

- If you have any constructive criticism to give me for these builds, please share.
