back in 2007/2008 I built my first gaming pc which consisted of
MSI K9N4 SLI (MS-7325) motherboard
AMD Athlon X2 6000+ Processor
4GB of DDR2 800 Memory
EVGA 6800GT Graphics card
256 SSD Hard drive that I upgraded to 5 years ago

Thermaltake Tsunami Case

 

needless to say I have not done any PC gaming in years and have mainly done console gaming but for my bday this year my wife surprised me by telling me she had saved up the money for a new gaming pc
so my new system is going to consist of
ASUS TUF X570 Wifi Motherboard
AMD Ryzen 3600

G.SKILL Trident Z Neo (For AMD Ryzen) Series 16GB DDR4 3600 CAS Latency 16
Gigabyte Geforce RTX 2070 Super Gaming OC Graphics Card
Cooler Master Hyper 212 Black Edition CPU Cooler
Samsung Evo 970 500GB NVMe Hard drive

Phantek P400A Case

EVGA 650 Watt Gold+ Rated Power Supply

 

Everything came in this week, building it this weekend pictures coming soon
