Winter 2018 Build

So, my gaming PC turned 10 years old this December (yes, it was really that old), and as a Christmas Present to myself, I decided to renew my PCMR Membership. I did the "smart" thing, and bought parts over the course of about 2 months, as things went on sale, until only the CPU and GPU remained. Well, until I broke down and headed down to my local MicroCenter, and grabbed my last 2 pieces, and threw her together!


Hilariously, I told myself I wasn't going to go RGB on this build. My new-ish desk is full oak, and outside the little meshed window I cut out in the PC Door for airflow, you really can't see the build at all. However, when I went to buy parts, I was finding that RGB was about price-comparable with non-RGB components, so I ended up with a good bit in the build. Any other pics you want to see, please let me know!
