An Introduction: This build takes the convenience of modern day hardware, coupled with clean clear additional modifications to create a much more aesthetically pleasing build than is stock possible using shortcuts along the way to do so. It is a rather symbolic build as it signifies the return of competition in the CPU market since the stalemate that has been the last 5 years. While, I'm not an AMD die hard I really appreciate that in a market where they were heavily pushed out of they are attempting to make a return. Since the system fits my needs so well It is hard to argue against this system for my personal use and you can't build a clean PC without a build log am i right? thus, This Build log was born. Doing a build log helps to keep cable management well, pushes me to do more modding during the building process and regret less later overall. Not only that I am building a tron version of this build with a few higher end parts for my roommate and can see that the compromises that have made in this build to get it to my budget are the right ones for me. I apologize, no it's not a hardcore bad ass 1800 dollar gaming rig, but it is a PC that is more than capable of pushing a nice frame-rate in the games i play such as Overwatch, League, and Blade and Soul while providing me with all the horsepower in the CPU field that will allow me to step up my hobby of editing, my side business dealing with vectors, and the occasional odd job that i get thrown for engineering, all while coming in at around the 700 USD price range.
