In fall 2014 I built my own gaming PC. I followed some online guides and did a ton of research beforehand. I still stay up to date on the latest PC components and hardware news.
I did an update in early 2020 with an updated CPU and GPU.
If you have any questions about my setup, please email me at andrew@aosacoustics.com and I will be happy to assist!
