So I only discovered the PC community about 3-4 years ago. Meaning up until then I had no clue that pc's other than the 2011 mac mini we had as the family pc (still do as a media server for our movies) existed. I had only ever played console, not even online. So when my friend introduced me to Linus, i was amazed at all of the stuff you could do. I ingested hours upon hours of his videos, learning as much as i could as fast as i could. Unfortunately i didn't have a job yet so i had no money, and my parents wouldn't pay for a computer. That was up until my dad's company gave him a pc to do some vr work with. I started gaming, giving it up whenever he needed it for work. It was a bare minimum vr pc, so i wasn't surprised when it wasn't enough for him and he requested another, which was granted. we are talking an Intel core i5-6402p, 8 gb ddr4 2133mhz ram, msi b150m bazooka mobo, gigabyte rx480, 1tb hdd, like the bare minimum. once i got that pc and a job, i slowly started building my new pc.

Here's my current spec

- Ryzen 7 2700x (ugh right before ryzen 3000 series)

- Asus ROG strix b350f gaming (i know 350, im updating that soon)

- MSI GeForce gtx 1660ti

- Samsung 860 evo 500gb ssd

- seagate barracuda 750gb hdd (my 1tb hdd was doa from ebay, but my dad had this one)

- Corsair cx650m power supply

- all inside a Lian-Li O11 Dynamic razer edition

Also, yes i know i dont have an i/o shield. This was a refurbished board from newegg, so it came with only the board and nothing else. In the listing it said it was the board only. I'll post a screen shot as evidence.
