This build is heavily designed in order to make people jealous of the power in this rig. I plan on saving up money over time, and then splurging on this purchase to treat myself to something nice. Also maybe play some video games, like minecraft.
Please tell me what you think of it, chew me out for having bad taste, and feel free to recommend a different piece than I've chosen, so long as it's compatible with everything else. Don't worry about budget, I'm not going to get something that's over $1k on its own, but i'm just looking for a powerful rig. Besides, if it's unparalleled but ridiculously expensive, I can always upgrade later
Thank you for taking the time to read this thread. Have a good day!
