      You're making me realize the last one I built was back in 2014, probably time for some updates.

      And I haven't built one since like 2005, just before EQ2 and WoW were released. Just sad.

        @travisdh1 Nice big rig, my main rig is pretty chunky but I never built a PC for looks before.
        Here is my computer room (pc has been replaced though)

            Wow that looks really great.
            Did you paint those components or are there actual white pc part innards now? What case is that?

            Its a https://www.bitfenix.com/global/en/products/chassis/prodigy-m
            All components are as bought, I was planning on spraying the black grille on the top of the case.
            The white components do hold a price premium though...

            I wanted the Asus SABERTOOTH Z170 S ATX because its sexy as hell (below) but it was too large for the case.
            I also wanted the 1080 HOF because its much nicer but my budget didn't stretch that far and I wasn't sure it would fit int he case. (pic below too)

                    Very nice 🙂
                    I see that it's a reverse mounted/mirrored case.
                    Was that a deliberate choice or a happy accident?

                      Very deliberate
                      But I am very impressed you noticed

                        @AshleyJR I have that case in orange! Love how roomy it is for a mini-tower. It's just sitting in a closet right now but was at one point a home built NAS.

                          I like how you heard white with red bits and then built a classy seutp to suit. Very nicely done.

                              Modest? That's closer to a barn burner than a modest system I think. The only component you may be lacking in is the i5 rather than an i7, and that's mostly cosmetic.

                                Yep, this will run most modern games and applications at a really high setting. Even that i5 is crazy for gaming and everyday usage.

                                  Not really its an entry level current generation CPU, GPU with a bit of ram for video editing
