The Best Review... 5 Stars...

[@evileyeball]

My last build I made for myself was in 2008. Since I got married in 2012 I have built one other machine which was for my wife which got handed down to me once she decided to go to a laptop. My 2008 machine ran until 2019 so 11 years, This machine here is from 2014 so 8 years old now and its about time for an upgrade so I started doing research on parts because even if I cannot afford to buy every part I want all at once Its good to know what I would like in my build to be able to start saving for it. There is a part of me that misses that old 2008 build hahaha 4870x2 8 gigs of ddr2 which people called me crazy for 2tb of HDD which was massive at the time Things like this were not really so much of an option back then nor was RGB like it is today hence why I thought I ought to "Bling" up this next build unlike the last one which was Pure blue all the time and only lights on the case fans in his Antech 1200 which after 11 years half of them had died and been replaced at least once with cheap no led models.
