Akira

My first build. Nothing professional.

Story:
I used to have an Asus G20CB with a GTX 1070. Half a year after I bought it, I was playing CSGO and my screen went blank. I was furious, restarted and then my computer started again, got into another game, blank screen, this time it wouldn't fix. I sent it for RMA, had to pay for shipping. Got it back after the warranty ran out, and it was still broken, I was furious. But I was able to use it for regular use on the i7-6700's iGPU.

After a year, me and my friend, opened up the computer, even though my dad would've been mad if he found out, and we found the GPU still in there, that removes the possibility that maybe Asus forgot to put it back in. I tested the GPU in my friend's PC and it worked, I let him use it for a little bit, as I couldn't really use it.

Then I finally knew what I was going to do, I was going to build a new PC using the parts of the ASUS computer. The motherboard wasn't able to be put into the new computer as it was soldered, I sold the RAM as it was laptop RAM and used it to get a G. Skill Trident Z. It used an external power supply so that wouldn't work. The CPU and GPU were the only things able to be salvageable.

The GPU is an OEM ASUS blower cooler thing, but it's blackish-grey so it fits the theme.

Regrets:
I should've gotten an ASUS motherboard. MSI boasts Mystic Light for the Gaming Pro Carbon but that isn't true, all that's possible is the Control Panel, which interferes with G. Skill's Trident Software, it also doesn't have onboard Wi-Fi so that kinda sucks. DON'T GET AN MSI MOTHERBOARD.
