1. Before I built my PC, I gamed on a HP DV6 craptop. I pretty much destroyed it. It barley functions now, slower than erosion, and the battery gets hot to the touch while windows is telling me to "replace my battery" Turns out it has 25% of its original battery capacity. Also, it was a overheating bastard, 65C idle temps after 2 minutes of running, Yay!

 

2. Ive never played Half Life, or Gmod for that matter.

 

3. I bought a pair of Beats....................................................................................................

1. I don't want an SSD

2. I'm using an iPod dock as speakers.

3. When I started gaming, I got a pre-built PC... The HP Pavilion P6 2003nl. I still use the i3, RAM, and HDD from that thing.

    My mom bought a new i3, 4GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD to make it work again. She uses it for the office now :)

4. I never owned a console. <-- I don't regret that lol

I use a 1360*768 HDMI powered monitor with my GTX 780. How glorious

Someone told Luke and Linus at CES 2017 to "Unban the legend known as Jerakl" and that's about all I've got going for me. (It didn't work)

Despite the fact that I use a mechanical keyboard for typing, and got my friends to switch to mechanical, I use a membrane keyboard for gaming. I like the key layout of my Ideazon Merc Stealth more than I like mechanical keyswitches. I'll start gaming with mechanical switches once I figure out how to retrofit them to my Merc Stealth.

I don't care if my case fans are louder than the big bang, as long as they keep my stuff at acceptible temperatures.

I love console gaming as much as PC gaming and think that 30 FPS is perfectly acceptable to play at. HOWEVER, if a publisher is LOCKING it at 30 FPS that's wrong. I may think 30 FPS is perfectly fine to game at but if you're keeping me 30 FPS when I KNOW I can get more out of it that just makes me mad.

Let's see: 

 

I didn't build my desktop (Though to be fair, my mom and dad would not want any of the components damaged. It was a graduation gift. Yes. PCs have now replaced cars.)

 

I don't think Razer has bad products. 

 

I don't think that 30fps is bad. 

 

Now for some crazy things:

 

I have the desire to make an aviation headset work with my PC and/or phone. 

 

I want to turn a server rack into a gaming PC (Utilizing that external GPU dock of MSI).

I use a $5 Logitech Classic keyboard (membrane) from my local Goodwill (or something like goodwill, people drop off stuff and you can buy it for super cheap), and a cheapo Dell mouse from 2009-ish.  Forgive me my sins, /r/pcmasterrace.

My life is consumed by CS:GO, even though I'm not exceptionally good at it.

I have 5-yr old Bose Companions from my now-deceased grandfather, and I love them.

- I have no idea how to backup my PC since I've never ever done it. And because I've been using A mac for 80% of my life

- I'm still a bit anxious when touching my motherboard

I chose the Corsair H60 for my build because it looks better than the cheaper 212 EVO (which will probably perform on par/better)

 

And my CPU isn't even unlocked.
