So this is my second attempt at building a gaming PC. The first build I made was very much the same as this one, but I upgraded all of the hardware (CPU, GPU, PSU, RAM, monitor, etc.) this past month. I'm really happy with it and I've been enjoying my time with it so far. Been mostly using it to play Apex Legends recently (but that's because I'm busy in tax season at work). I'm looking forward to using it for some Sekiro and the new DOOM: Eternal whenever that comes out. Over the course of the next year or so I'll probably add to it little by little; better speakers, better headset, different chair, stuff like that. The stuff that's included in the build that I wasn't able to find in the listed parts are as follows:
- Kazaira Extended Gaming Mouse Pad (36" x 12") - Avantree Universal Headset Stand - VIVO Dual Monitor Stand - Furmax Gaming Chair
The desk is an IKEA Linnmon tabletop (in black) with two Alex drawer units (in white) to support it. I also wired up a basic LED strip that runs the entire length of the desk and had to cut a hole in the middle to route the keyboard and mouse cables underneath for a cleaner look on top. Again, super proud of how it's come out. Love the black and white build combined with the Miami blue and pink colors all over the place. Definitely a theme I'll keep in any future updates / builds.
