Building A Budget Gaming PC (2024)

I have a long history with building personal computers for productivity and gaming purposes.

The plan was to make a new system for my son during the holidays and I wanted to do it on a budget (and kind of failed on keeping the costs down).

But I had a really good time making it, which was the point of this project at this time.
