Built a while back, and made lots of changes over the months, but I think I have it where I finally like it. I picked the G3258 back when it was still being heralded as the best budget CPU ever, and I honestly like it. It has served me well in most games, I think my GPU is holding me back more than the CPU. I salvaged much of this build from friends, an uncle, and a recycling center. All in all it cost me about $400 USD to build it, excluding peripherals. I use it to play whatever games I feel like, like Verdun, BF4, Titanfall, Gta V, to games like Civ V, Total War games, and Euro Truck simulator 2. I also use Boinc on this.

I painted the Front Grill and the top grill blue, and I also painted "Trash 5000" onto it when my brother said it looked like trash. I also modded the sidepanel, putting a much larger window on, which required me to cut the some of the back to make room for it. I made a DIY psu shroud out of Gaff tape and cardboard, and "sleeved" the cables with Gaff.

That's some very nice cable managing and a clean display you have there. I also like your creativity. Nice build :)
