Picture this: you are able to travel five years back in time and have one conversation with yourself from five years ago. What piece of advice would you give your 2011 self? What would you tell yourself from five years ago?

Project White Lightning (My ITX Gaming PC): Core i5-4690K | CRYORIG H5 Ultimate | ASUS Maximus VII Impact | HyperX Savage 2x8GB DDR3 | Samsung 850 EVO 250GB | WD Black 1TB | Sapphire RX 480 8GB NITRO+ OC | Phanteks Enthoo EVOLV ITX | Corsair AX760 | LG 29UM67 | CM Storm Quickfire Ultimate | Logitech G502 Proteus Spectrum | HyperX Cloud II | Logitech Z333

Benchmark Results: 3DMark Firestrike: 10,528 | SteamVR VR Ready (avg. quality 7.1) | VRMark 7,004 (VR Ready)

 

Other systems I've built:

Core i3-6100 | CM Hyper 212 EVO | MSI H110M ECO | Corsair Vengeance LPX 1x8GB DDR4  | ADATA SP550 120GB | Seagate 500GB | EVGA ACX 2.0 GTX 1050 Ti | Fractal Design Core 1500 | Corsair CX450M

Core i5-4590 | Intel Stock Cooler | Gigabyte GA-H97N-WIFI | HyperX Savage 2x4GB DDR3 | Seagate 500GB | Intel Integrated HD Graphics | Fractal Design Arc Mini R2 | be quiet! Pure Power L8 350W

 

I am not a professional. I am not an expert. I am just a smartass. Don't try and blame me if you break something when acting upon my advice.

"DA is more of a cult than a organization set out help you. Don't bother showing up at the meeting. Stay home, make some popcorn and watch a movie".

 

Honestly, 5 years ago was when my life was finally going in a good direction, so giving any constructive advice would be hard.

Funnily enough five years back almost to the day i dropped out of school to start a business.

I'd go back and dropkick myself before saying "Don't even think about it jackass!"

It went really well.. Up until the point where it didn't anymore. 

Burned myself out and got screwed. 

 

Another piece of advice i'd give myself would be to not eat at a shady diner i ate at about five years ago.

Was sick for a full week after that.
