[Build Log] New Build!

[S3R0]

Hey guys,

So, I managed to build my first computer this weekend. The experience was interesting, although it did have some frustrating moments.

 

Previously, I was and probably still occasionally will use my old Asus G55VW laptop (as it still has most of my important files on it). Going from that to the new build has made a huge difference, I'll tell you that much. With this current build, I am planning on using it for Multimedia work, as well as some gaming.

 

One major thing that's a little upsetting about this new build is that when I am gaming, I do get various error messages, hangs and freezes (within 5-10 minutes of launching) with games like Overwatch, Dying Light, and Battlefield 4. One game that I have not had any troubles with is Rocket League. Although when I am able to play these games, it's a very nice experience!

 

I've fixed most of the issues of gaming and just about everything runs smoothly

P.S. Sorry for the potato quality picture. Used the front camera on my phone because the back camera is broken.
