Hi team,
Long-time LTT watcher and forum shadow, first time poster. I built my first rig back in 2012 and decided it was finally time to upgrade. I currently run an old Intel i7 2.5ghz with a Radeon 5770 and 8gb of DDR3, no SSD. She's treated me well, but now I am looking to treat myself to something a little more modern.
I put together this build after a stupid amount of hours researching and pulled the trigger last night on it all. Out the door, I got everything for $1,100 and was looking for last minute tweaks on potential items I should return, or maybe just reassurance I did ok.
The price shows $1144.49, but I had found coupons and a friend lives near a micro center, so I got everything for about $1100.
The PSU looks weird on this list, not sure it is a name brand we all know, but I bought this PSU last year and it is in my current build, so I can save money by re-using and it's running very well, no issues. I also have 3 TB HDD that I use in my main that I will flash and use as storage.
One of the purposes of the build is to have room to expand and grow with the coming years. That is why I spent a little more on this MOBO.
I already have IPS Monitors, Keyboard and Mouse.
