This PC started as an Asus prebuilt from Staples to get my feet wet in gaming and also replace an old laptop for school work. That PC had an i5-3350P & a GT-640. I upgraded parts here and there as I could and now 5 years later the PC has morphed into its current form, with exactly 0 parts remaining from that original Staples PC.
Originally I had not planned to replace the i5 CPU as I hadn't had any issues with it, however the motherboard started dying & wouldn't let the PC boot all the time. So now that I have some fresh parts, the goal is to have this PC custom watercooled by the end of the year & maintain it for several years.
I'm a rookie at PC building and have never touched watercooling, not even an AIO so this should be an interesting journey.
