In the bustling town where I grew up, there weren't many options for computer enthusiasts like me. Sure, there were a handful of small computer shops scattered around, each offering a mishmash of components, but none could compare to the tech haven that is Microcenter. My journey into the world of building PCs began amidst these humble surroundings. Armed with determination and a modest budget, I scoured the shelves of these local stores, piecing together my first rig. It wasn't perfect, but it was mine—a testament to my budding passion for all things tech. As I tinkered with my creation, learning the ins and outs of hardware assembly, I couldn't shake the feeling that there was something more out there, something beyond the limitations of my small town's offerings. That something turned out to be Microcenter. The first time I set foot in that gleaming megastore, I felt like a kid in a candy shop. Row upon row of pristine components stretched out before me, gleaming under the fluorescent lights. It was a paradise for any PC enthusiast, with shelves stocked high with the latest processors, graphics cards, and peripherals. But it wasn't just the sheer variety of products that captivated me—it was the expertise of the staff. Unlike the often clueless employees at the local shops, the Microcenter team were true professionals, eager to share their knowledge and offer advice on even the most obscure tech questions. Armed with the resources of Microcenter and the guidance of its knowledgeable staff, I embarked on my next build with newfound confidence. Gone were the days of settling for "okay" parts; now, I had access to the best of the best. With their help, I carefully selected each component, ensuring that my new rig would be a masterpiece of performance and reliability. As I sat back and admired my completed build, I couldn't help but marvel at how far I'd come. From humble beginnings in those small-town computer shops to the pinnacle of PC building excellence at Microcenter, my journey had been nothing short of extraordinary. And as I powered up my new rig for the first time, I knew that the best was yet to come. At its core lay the beating heart of my creation, the Intel i7 8700k, a processor as reliable as it was powerful. With its six cores and twelve threads, it was the engine that drove my digital adventures, powering through the most demanding of tasks with ease. Surrounding it, like loyal soldiers standing guard, were 32GB of RAM, a veritable army of memory, ready to tackle any challenge I threw their way. And nestled snugly within the belly of the beast was a lightning-fast 1TB SSD, its silent whispers promising swift load times and snappy system responsiveness. But it was the crown jewel of my rig—the RTX 2070 SUPER GPU—that truly set it apart. With its ray-tracing prowess and blistering rendering speeds, it transformed every pixel into a masterpiece, bringing my virtual worlds to life with unparalleled beauty and realism. Together, we embarked on a journey unlike any other, a journey into the heart of gaming and streaming glory. From the darkest dungeons to the farthest reaches of outer space, we traversed virtual landscapes with skill and determination, our every triumph and defeat broadcast to an eager audience of fellow adventurers. But it wasn't just about the games—it was about the connection. With my powerful rig, I streamed in crystal-clear HD, my every word and gesture captured with stunning clarity. And as I interacted with my viewers, sharing stories and swapping strategies, I felt a sense of camaraderie unlike anything I'd ever known.

While not cheap, I was able to build this and keep it under 1k. Aesthetically it's got a lot of white and blue and even has a special sonic the hedgehog motherboard (one of my favorite series). featuring an intel 13500, intel arc a750, 32gb of ddr6 CL28 5600 ram and over 4gb of storage its perfect for now with plenty of room to upgrade. Also it's a full intel build something I wanted to try with the release of the new Arc gpus. Eventually plan to upgrade my gpu whenever Nvidia releases a better deal or intel releases a new series.

  Modest holiday gift Modest holiday gift

Recently I had my older brother mention to me that he was interested in building a budget-friendly pc for him sometime soon that would be close to a PS5 in performance. Well, little does he know that the build is now done! And wiring up this desciption is my way of venting some enthusiam about the build wihout actually giving it to him as a gift this Christmas. He specifdically wants to play the first God of War game on pc because he knows it runs a lot better on pc than on console. I went with an Intel i5 12400 cpu because it's was the best performance-to-price product in my price range. But I did have to buy a seperate air cooler. I didn't want to trust that wimpy Intel air cooler than comes in the retail 12400 package. (It looks basically like the same aluminum cooler they've used for years but now have painted it black.)

It's beauty shines from the little bit of lighting from the Intel Arc A750 Limited Edition. This pc is being housed in who knows what it is a Antec case from the dinosaur age because I am too poor to buy an actually good case. I have 2X16GB aka 32GB of 2666mhz CL19. I know it is pretty slow speeds and probably kills the performance of my CPU but I am on a really tight budget. Then Paired with the Intel Arc is the one and only Ryzen 5 5600 with a Thermalright Assassin X 120 R SE cooler. The reason why I went for the Ryzen 5600 is because I edit a lot of videos and need multicore performance for DaVinci resolve. I also game "a lot" (I literally only play Forza, Garry's Mod, and Minecraft) I also used a random old 1000w EVGA power supply which I hope but probably could blow up any moment know due to the amount of screws and dust inside the PSU. Personally this pc does what I need.

I use it to play Fortnite and its fun to benchmark it and make the numbers go up. 11900K with 2x16 16Gbit Micron Rev B (it zooms) Arc A750 (#1 score in the US on Timespy, go figure) I've been working on this pc for a good long time, and it's finally at a point that I'm happy with it at 1440p gaming. The A750 performs well enough in Fortnite (consistent frames, lows well above 90 so it looks nice) and I actually downgraded from a 3070Ti because the A750 performs as well as I need No plans for future upgrades, not in the near future at least.

I built this system with the goal of assembling a very budget-conscious machine that could still provide adequate performance for gaming at light to medium settings. It will be used mainly at 1080p and sometimes I might hook it up to a 1440p monitor to see how it manages. Microcenter was definitely a solid option for me to get the cpu, motherboard (combo discount) and gpu all at prices a little below what they go for on the major online retailers. One thing I might have done wrong was intially trying out an open-box graphics card. I had problems with that one displaying video even on initial motherboard post. So looking back on the process, I should have saved time and just bought the new graphics card I ended up exchanging for.

I built this PC when I graduated university and I wanted to treat myself for being the first in the family to finish school. All 4 years of school I used a laptop to do my work and play games so once I graduated I knew getting a PC is something affordable and would bring me many years of joy! I currently use this desktop to draw CAD models, watch videos, and play games such as Valorant, League of Legends, and Halo Infinite. I love my build mainly because I customized it myself. I envied the all white minimalist desktop look and I'm glad I was able to achieve that. Something I wish I fixed is my cable management. My best friend and I built our desktops at 3AM and I was so excited to use the desktop i told myself I will fix it when I get the chance... a year and a half went by and the cables are still the same XD.
