    After looking at a couple of builds around here, mine is by any means anything fancy or out of the ordinary, but it's mine, I built it with my own money and sweat and I couldn't be more proud of it (although there are things I would change).
     
    Coming from a country that's relatively poor (look under my profile picture and you'll get it :D) and salaries being relatively low, I could never afford to just toss out money on the parts I would've dreamed off, so I settled for something decent, I waited until the times were right and about two years ago I have started working on a new rig because my old one couldn't keep up by any means. I started off with the CPU and Motherboard, then waiting ensued and after a couple of months, I purchased the PSU, RAM and a generic cheap case. Saving the GPU, HDD + SSD and CPU cooler from my old build, I was ready to go but I always felt I could improve in some areas. Given these things, I managed to get my hands on a new SSD + HDD + CPU cooler around last November and a better GPU around last December (my Christmas gift to myself :P). Around January I also managed to go for a better case and this is when I started putting what would be my current rig to my building abilities. And so, without further introduction, this is the build I have managed to... well, build: 
    CPU: Intel i5-9600K OC'ed to 4.6 GHz CPU Cooler: Be quiet! Dark Rock 4 Motherboard: Gigabyte Z390 UD RAM: 2 x 8GB HyperX Fury Black @3200 MHz GPU: Palit Windforce GeForce GTX 1080 Ti Storage: Samsung 860 EVO SSD 500 GB + WD Blue 7200 RPM HDD 1 TB PSU: nJoy Woden 650W 80+ Gold Case: Armis AR5X TG RGB Coolers: Sigma HP Corona 6 x 120mm(5 intake + 1 exhaust) + Sigma HP Corona 2 x 140mm (2 exhaust) All things considered, what I would change is the controller to put all of my fans into (the current one only supports 6 so I can't light up the fans at the bottom of the case), the PSU (the ketchup and mustard cables truly make for an unpleasant sight at a closer look) and that's about it if I'm being honest. Overall, I'm pretty satisfied with what I have.
     
    Editor's note: Please do overlook the camera quality, boxes in the background, poor cable management in the back (in my defense, I did try to make it look good but the stickers of the tunnels I would put my cables through didn't hold) and whatever else that has nothing to do with the case and its contents.

    Odyss got a reaction from Dedayog in 32Gb 2400MHz ddr4 VS. 16Gb 2666MHz ddr4   
    The performance will be too minimal to notice, so I would go for the 32 gigs, especially if you plan on using them to the full capacity. If you use your machine just for gaming/browsing, then it's probably not worth it since it's unlikely any game would need that much RAM. Just my two cents here...

    I'll keep it empty for the time being and if I struggle finding jobs, I'll add it and see if it makes a difference. Thanks for the tip!
