What's special about this build? It's been a long journey for this one. In-fact, it's my first Desktop.

  • The original desktop was an old mid-tier system from ibuypower back in about 2012
  • I had multiple motherboards and power supplies been broken throughout the years due to blowing out the vrm, to some pretty boneheaded ideas involving hair-dryers and dust.
  • The Motherboard, GPU, PSU, Cooler, and Case have all been replaced with new hardware. The only thing from the original build that still remains is the terabyte hard-drive, and CPU.

Future Plans:

  • Switch to intel or zen.
  • M.2 or Regular SSD Upgrade
  • Possible AIO Cooler for CPU
  • Crossfire?

Green windforce logo, blue fan LED, red mobo led and a black case

I can turn the red mobo led off. Windforce is the same blue as the fan, but my phone doesn't have the best quality in low-light which was my fault. Case has slight accents of blue, mainly in the front with 2 vents running down the side of the panel.
