New Workhorse

Build/Battlestation

Second build I have done since 2015

Upgraded from an Intel Core i7-6700K & GTX 970 setup, so this is a long-overdue refresh.

Built primarily for video/photo editing and gaming. Here's to (hopefully) another 10+ years before this needs to be replaced!

Installing that very expensive brick of a graphics card is on the top 10 of most nerve-wracking moments of my life.
