Craig the PC - my first build (not named after Miniladd!)

I originally built this PC for two purposes- Video editing (adobe premiere) and gaming with the best performance for my budget. I spent a year acquiring both new and used parts in the initial build. It has undergone a case swap, GPU, RAM and Wifi adapter upgrades since I first built in in August of 2016. I plan to build a fresh sleeper once Windows 7 support ends, but til then I'll keep ol Craig running strong.
By the way, the name "Craig" came from Craisgslist.com, where I purchased the first part of the original build (a Zotac AMP! Edition Geforce GTX 980 4GB GPU).
Nowadays I use it mostly for gaming, browsing and editing stuff in Blender and Unity.
