The Master Cooler Q300L is an awesome, super underrated budget case.

This Phantom RGB mechanical keyboard from Tecware is unbeatable for $45.

These "Up Here" brand 120mm RGB case fans are actually better than I expected for only $29 on Amazon. They provide great flow and the RGB customization is easy to use with wireless remote.

Even though the 2200G came with a Wraith Stealth cooler I got a Cooler Master MA410P cpu cooler just cus it made more sense air flow wise, seeing how the case fans are set up. Plus, it has RGB which is a bonus, and compliments the T-Force Delta RGB ram sticks very well.

This Samsung 970 EVO M.2 was not originally in the plan for my PC but due to my Kingston sata SSD dying I had no choice. I am enjoying the faster boot up, read/ write speeds though! O, and Kingston is sending me a replacement under warranty. I will install the new one they give me, but will be used only for game storage. As, long as my OS is on my EVO M.2, I shouldn't have anything to worry about.

All of that crammed into that small case.

My first PC Build: "Bandit"

So, I've been a console gamer for most of my life, and I've been wanting to build a gaming PC for the past few years. Well, now I've done just that and built my first "budget" gaming PC named "Bandit". Started off running this PC without a GPU, using only the integrated Vega8 graphics of the Ryzen 3 2200G for about 2 months before throwing in a RX570 4GB. It performed very well without a GPU. Before the GPU and M.2 SSD upgrade, this budget build's initial cost was $418 up and running.
