The Checkmate

This is my first PC build, and I think it came out alright! It is mostly for gaming (VR mostly) and game development.

It cost around 800, can't exactly remember. I bought most on sales and such. (One or two of the parts on this list may be off, and it was NOT 972.) The site says 972 but that incorrect.

Took me around 8 hours to build...
