No formalities, no bullshit. Here's my upgraded PC. The only component that comes from my previous PC is the GPU, the mighty VTX3D R9 280X.

I nicknamed my previous PC "insaneTX" but I never used the name, and can't come up with a name for this one, so, I'll name it "V2", because reasons.

 

Upgrades made:

Athlon x4 760k -> Ryzen 5 1600

8GB DDR3 -> 8GB DDR4 (might get 8 more down the road)

MSI A88XI AC -> ASUS B350-F

WD 1TB Blue -> Seagate Barracuda 2TB (needs an SSD, I know)

XFX Core Edition 450W -> Seasonic M12II Evo 520W (fully modular)

CoolerMaster Elite 130 -> Phanteks P400s TG

Yeah, it sure is xD

GPU upgrade is also on the plans for the future, but it will take me quite a while to get there...

The first tihng I'll buy will probably be an AntLion ModMic... Then RAM, SDD and GPU (not in this order). We'll see.

Thank you :D

Yeah I feel you on that, money doesn't grow on trees. :D RAM doesn't hurt but SSD I was little skeptical at first but damn does it make the OS more responsive. :)

Sure thing!

didn't your old athlon hold back your 280x quite a bit?

 

Shiny upgrade and solid build !

 

Yes it did.

Thanks :D

I wanted to make it as neutral as I could (the GPU shroud still has a bit of red, but I may or may not end up making it black, somehow), and I think I might have succeeded xD

Oh, and the green of the wireless card... You can't see it that much unless light is pointing directly at it like in the 5th picture, but oh well xD

If you're not in a mood for masking and spray paint, there's always quick and dirty = black electrical tape. :D Or little fancier black self adhesive vinyl.

 

Green wireless card = plexi backplate ;)
