PROJECT: APEX is essentially one thing; a dream build. But I am not the kind of person to just let their dreams be dreams.

I've conquered a great dozen of personal challenges in my life, whether it's working to grow and improve over my mental disability, graduating from high school with high averages, dealing with family loss and divorce, or something as mundane as getting a starting job to take the next step into adult life. Computers have been apart of my life since I was 5, from my very first Windows 9x PC, to my first custom built budget PC from 2011. I've built many systems over the years, and I've always had the goal of building a high-end enthusiast grade productivity and gaming computer.

This system would primarily be used for gaming, but have the power to crank out Adobe Premiere rendering. I'll be using the high amount of cores and memory for VMWare Workstation as well, as I work with virtual machines often (and especially will be in college with my networking major.) I always wanted to take a dive in custom water cooling, so the system will feature custom cooling for both GPU and CPU.

This list will periodically change as hardware advances, or some new part catches my eye. But it's a system that I will be working towards to build and ultimately be satisfied with for the coming years.
