This here is my main PC. I use it for gaming and basic video Editing.

I mostly care about performance. Extra bling won't help me run my games at high refresh rates so I believe that I should spend as much as I can on parts that contribute to performance with aesthetics coming in at a distant second.

Here's the story behind this build if anybody is interested

The build started to take its current form back in 2012 when I bought the Armor Revo and used it to build my Ivy Bridge system which contained an unlocked HD6950 from my previous build. Almost a year later I upgraded to the R9 290X because the other card was bottlenecking my performance. In 2015 I bought my FreeSync monitor and I reveled in the stutter and tearing-free gaming experience it gave me. In 2016, I acquired a used 290X and for the first time ever, I had two discrete GPUs in my system. There were many little inconveniences with running those two hotheads in the scorching Egyptian summer. Brealy a month had passed when I upgraded to the Skylake platform. The 6700K was not a significant upgrade over my 3770K but my the motehrboard one of my older PCs went up in smoke so I had to make the switch. In 2018, my first R9 290X died all of a sudden so I replaced both cards with a Single 1080 Ti. I bought the second card at the end of 2018 just before the release of the RTX series because it was being sold at almost half the price of a new card while retaining the manufacturer's warranty.
