funnily enough, i've never built one of my own computers myself unfortunately - i've built computers for friends, family, and otherwise, but when it comes to my own personal computers, in the past my dad has always helped me pay for the parts and refused to let me build it myself - we'd have it built either by a local computer shop or a friend - that's finally gonna change this time around. my first custom built computer though, albeit i didn't build it myself, was quite the beast. it used a Core i5-2500k which i had overclocked to a nice stable 4.6GHz while being cooled by a Corsair h100i, had 8GB of DDR3@1866MHz (hah, i remember how that felt like so much at the time and now its practically nothing - my current laptop has 12GB of DDR4, and it was a pretty budget one, lol) a Radeon HD 6970, and a couple mechanical hard drives which i still use to this day. i don't really recall what the motherboard was, unfortunately, but i'm pretty sure it was decidedly budget. i do recall that i was using the first edition white NZXT Phantom. unfortunately even after combing through the pictures on my old facebook (yeesh that didn't feel good lmao) i couldn't find a picture of it. wasn't really anything to be proud of though, anyways. but, yeah - i'm planning to do my next computer build, which like i said will be the first computer of my own i've built myself, as soon as possible, by january at the latest, because not only do i really need an upgrade at this point but also the motherboard and cpu seem to be dying unfortunately. so i'll be taking the GPU, storage, and PSU out of my current rig (two 950 evos, several mechanical hard drives of varying sizes, a 970 evo M.2, a PNY GTX 1080 Ti, and a EVGA 1200w P2 PSU) and putting it together with the following: Apevia-Aura-F-PK Case (i really just want a pink case and i don't really have the skills to paint another case on my own) Asus Prime X570-P Motherboard AMD Ryzen R9 3950X Noctua NH-D15 Chromax Black edition G.Skill Trident Z Neo DDR4-3600 additionally i'm planning on getting some pink LED case fans to put in there, a Quartz Pink edition Razer Seiren X, Basilisk, Extended Goliathus, and BlackWidow TE Chroma V2 to round out the whole aesthetic i'm going for.
