SwiftyDC 04/22/18 5:46:04 PM #1:	So, after using a MacBook Pro for the early part of my adult life. And before that using my families pre-built ancient dinosaur computer that they bought in a store like Office Depot. I finally had saved up a good enough chunk of change to throw down on a legit gaming rig that I've always wanted. https://pcpartpicker.com/list/Kxhn7W This took me 12+ hours to build, with no help at all except youtube videos by BitWit and PaulsHardware. Many times I wanted to put it off to the next day to finish, but I fought through the frustration and the end product is super satisfying. I did have some hiccups installing Windows and it was because my m.2 wasn't installed all the way in, but other that that, setting everything else up was pretty smooth. But holy shit, what have I been missing all my life? https://imgur.com/a/UBLbOpm --- Dilated Chemist Tears from BKSheikah's eyes cure cancer, too bad he never cries. <cite>SwiftyDC posted [p:900116887] in I finally ...

Jesus, you really went all out yeah no kidding Yeah, I kinda went overboard with my memory and storage. I didn't want any HDDs in my rig.
