So after really getting into the PC building scene a little over a year and a half ago I finally bit the bullet and decided to build my own. So after months and months of further learning, researching, picking parts out for both an intel AND an amd build and getting advise from forums and friends alike I finally settled on a decent spec list for an amd build. I built this literally a week ago and I loved every single moment of the build and using it.
I didn't actually believe the amount of satisfaction you get from peeling the plastic off parts was real (particularly off the tempered glass). Seriously thought is was exaggeration till i did it.

Oh my sweet PC master race was it satisfying.

Also, another thing not exaggerated was the stress and sweaty few seconds after you hit the power button for the first time. Holy flying anxiety batman! I haven't felt that stressed or alive like that in a long, long time! Seriously though this was so much fun and really satisfying doing this myself. I love getting hands on and this project has got me hooked. I already want to upgrade haha. Change to water cooled and do custom cables with custom sleeves - the whole nine yards. Maybe even build another computer even smaller. The sky is the limit! Well the bank account is the actual limit but i'm willing to wait till it fill back up again.

Update: Got back inside her yesterday, pulled her apart and cleaned out some dust. Also did some tidying in the back. Looks sooooooo much better. Still no custom cables yet but birthday is coming up so im hopeful haha
