After watching a ton of build videos, and realizing I didn't have to spend a fortune on parts to have a half decent little "console killer" rig, I finally decided to dip my toes into PC building. Yes, I realize my management skills are atrocious, but I'm trying to ignore it and just be proud of the fact that this is a rig *I* personally built, and everything works, and it plays games beautifully. Before tax & shipping, everything totaled around $557.93, so I think I did pretty okay. As for the external drives? This is doubling as a Plex media server as well, so that's why I have so many. Yes, yes, I know I'm running everything on a Magnavox Roku TV. Feel free to roast that, but I'm gonna get a proper monitor in September and update this post, I swear.
