Gaming PC
Build
I built a custom gaming PC from scratch - choosing every component to balance raw performance, easy upgradeability, and a clean white aesthetic. Here's what I went with and why.
AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
RTX 4060 Ti 16GB
32GB DDR5 6000MHz
Corsair 4000D Airflow
3TB NVMe Storage

// Why these parts?
Built for gaming, not benchmarks
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is widely considered the best gaming CPU available - the 3D V-Cache dramatically improves frame times in games. Paired with the RTX 4060 Ti 16GB, it handles 1440p gaming comfortably while the extra VRAM future-proofs it for heavier titles and texture mods.

Why I Built It
Performance I Actually Needed
Buying a pre-built PC means paying a premium for components you didn't choose. Building my own meant I could put the budget where it mattered most - a top-tier CPU and VRAM - without spending on parts I didn't need.
Easy to Upgrade Later
The AM5 platform has a long roadmap from AMD, and the Corsair 4000D Airflow has room to grow. When it's time to upgrade the GPU or add more storage, I know exactly what I'm working with.
Learning How It All Works
As an IT engineer, understanding hardware at a deeper level is useful. Building the machine yourself means you can diagnose issues, understand bottlenecks, and make informed decisions when troubleshooting.
Clean White Aesthetic
The Corsair 4000D Airflow in white with the tempered glass panel gives the build a clean, minimal look. The Aero GPU matches the white theme - no RGB overkill, just a tidy, well-ventilated build.
