It was part of a pre-built PC that I bought at the start of my college days. Now, I've graduated, gotten a full-time job, and decided that I wanted to be on the cutting of technology, so here's the new build: PCPartPicker part list / Price breakdown by merchant
The prices and parts were all a culmination of months of research and sales, doing my best to make sure all parts were compatible.
My case seems to have a wiring issue that makes it so that the side LED logo doesn't light up, as well as the back I/O panel lighting, but I'm looking into that! I'm still in the market for a good third monitor, probably a good 1440p one, but I'm waiting for a good deal. Any advice?
