12 Year Dry Spell Ends.... STConquest Build

BaronVonUber

So here's the build I did about 2+ years ago now. :D  Well better late than never. I hadn't owned a PC in about 12 years at the time and the last build was few years before that. It was a pentium of some sort with a 16 meg Hercules vid card. I ended up putting this one together based on STConquest's suggestion. The only thing missing off here is the 150 gig SSD drive, which I'm going to upgrade to 1TB soon. 

 

 

Intel Core i5-6500 3.2 GHz Quad-Core Processor

ASRock H170A-X1/3.1 ATX LGA1151 Motherboard

Kingston HyperX Fury Black 8 GB (2 x 4 GB) DDR4-2133 Memory

Western Digital Caviar Blue 1 TB 3.5" 7200RPM Internal Hard Drive

XFX Radeon RX 480 8 GB Black Edition Video Card

Deepcool KENDOMEN ATX Mid Tower Case

 

EVGA 750 W 80+ Bronze Certified Semi-modular ATX Power Supply

BenQ CL2460 Monitor

Not my taste but got to be better than that old dog you were running back then. ?

 

I'm guessing you were on a console (PS or XB) that whole time?

 

I'm hoping to get my new desktop system up and running sometime this year myself.

 

My last one was old too, Pentium D two core, 2GB ram with an Nvidia gt 610 1GB card.

It still runs though but I can't use it for much except playing ancient games off the original disks. ?

 

The snappy performance increase compared to your old one must feel real good.

I switched over to Mac in 2002 when the Mbox for ProTools LE came out. Later on I switched to Logic and have been using that since. I'm looking at maybe getting away from Logic but it's not easy to leave the DAW you know. 

 

The difference in performance is ridiculous :D
