This was the dream build i always wanted and it is my first ever pc build. I will be a junior in high school, started working in November of 2017 to pay for this setup myself. I completed the build in August 2018. My previous "setup" was a $200 refurbished HP Pavilion i got on ebay, it was a 6th gen core i5 with 128gb of storage, 4gb of ram, and was set up on my family's dinning table. Hope you guys like it!

(I know the desk and cables on the desk are bad XD unfortunately my state doesn't have a IKEA so I'm waiting for my local furniture store to have a desk that matches my set up)
*970 evo is 256gb, there wasnt a 256gb option in the build menu
*gpu is strix OC version
