Arctic Punk

A pure white and black build, with tempered glass and nice array of RGB. It has sort of a futuristic/cyberpunk aesthetic going on. I finally got around to getting pics of it after putting the new RAM in over 2 years ago lmao

Here is the PCpartpicker page, in case anyone was interested: https://pcpartpicker.com/user/prosper58/saved/DPJ4qs

Recently upgraded! After a BIOS update, I replaced the Ryzen 5 2600 with a Ryzen 7 3700x. I felt like the old CPU was bottle-necking my GPU, and I failed to buy a PS5 on launch so I used the money to upgrade my PC xD

Also, a while back I ditched the 3TB seagate barracuda HDD because it was dying on me and I was about to lose tons of data, and replaced it with the Crucial P1 1TB M.2 SSD. Now this baby runs on SSD alone :sunglasses

2023 Update: I'm planning a major upgrade this year, and will update this post when the time comes. I plan to move on from my R7 3700X to an R7 5800X3D and to buy an RTX4080 or RX 7800 XTX. Unfortunately losing the simple EVGA RGB but hopefully not compromising the aesthetics too much. To accommodate the additional power draw, I'll be moving on to an RM850 power supply as well. A really expensive upgrade tbh but necessary for me. I do a lot of VR gaming and am moving from an Oculus Rift CV1 to a Valve Index. The additional resolution and refresh rate will need a ton more power. Getting too many frame drops in Beat Saber as it is lol. Aww dang and I also need a new CPU cooler because the one I have sprung a slow leak and isn't performing up to scratch. Nothing is damaged but I did notice a small amount of moisture on the GPU backplate directly underneath the tubing. I haven't decided on whether to go air or AIO this time around, and I don't wanna spend a ton of money on the new cooler. Hoping to keep the same general aesthetic though.
