2021 Build

This was my first ever PC build, and I have to say, I couldn't be more proud of it. This build was what got me into the PC hobby, and for that, it will always have a special place in my heart. I built this during the COVID pandemic, around the time when all of my friends began switching from console to PC. From then on, I have used this PC to mostly game, on top of day-to-day general tasks such as browsing, media consumption, and school work. As for the games I play, I mostly play whatever my friends play; we always have different phases so we move from game to game. The games that I had the most memorable experiences from, whether from the game itself or just quality moments spent with friends, include Destiny 2, Rainbow Six Siege, Minecraft, Overwatch 2, and Halo MCC. Some singleplayer games that I have enjoyed are Subnautica and Alien: Isolation. After reflecting on this build, there really isn't anything that I'd change. Again, the PC parts markets was definitely tough during the pandemic when I built this, so with that in mind, I'd say the parts I got at their price were well justified; I compromised in areas that weren't important in order to push more budget to more important parts like my GPU. In the near future, I plan to build a new PC; this time, an all-white build. I am happy to say that this current PC, which again has great sentimental value to me, will not be going anywhere. I plan to give it to my dad who will use it as a home media center.
