Full specs:

 

Motherboard: Gigabyte H170MSTX-DATTO-O3

Case: Unbranded Mini-STX case

Power: Proprietary FSP power adapter

 

The motherboard, case, and power adapter can be found bundled together for a sweet deal on eBay (it’s brand new too) : https://www.ebay.com/itm/165853441850?mkcid=16&mkevt=1&mkrid=711-127632-2357-0&ssspo=LODEi59JS-e&sssrc=2349624&ssuid=izJRMaLeT--&var=&widget_ver=artemis&media=COPY

 

CPU: Intel i7 6700T

Storage: 800GB Intel SSD DC S3610 (MLC NAND)

RAM: 16GB DDR4-2133 SODIMM

Cooling: Intel stock fan

OS/Operating System: Windows 11 Pro

 

 

My build works amazing for productivity and temps are kept pretty low even with the stock cooler. I spent about $200 on eBay in total and I’m very happy about the outcome of this build.
