This is my first PC since building an old Athlon T Bird about 20 years ago.
I really wanted to configure an all round machine (without breaking the bank too much) with the scope to handle 4K and VR as well as being a good work station.
The bulk of the storage will be on a NAS drive but I’m thinking I may go with a larger capacity m.2 drive instead of the 250gb that I’ve originally configured, not sure on this one though.
I was a little unsure about RGB fans initially so just opted for a standard setup (non rgb)but I’m starting to quite like the look of a Thermaltake Riing setup for a bit of future tweaking. Any thoughts on these
All feedback welcome, especially feedback that helps me validate this purchase to my missus!
