roughly 480$ worth of hardware. hopefully it can do 1080p gaming
hopefully it works... if it does ill try an sell it for 300ish or maybe ill donate it.

How did you get Win10Home for $15 USD?

ITS ALIVE!!!!!

Pretty nice build for the price, however the RGB lighting seems a bit overwhelming for me

just a little flavor.

pretty much finished this build just need to add my hdd when its done formatting then it should be good to go.

Is its 32GB ram? As I see 4 sticks, I assume it is 8x4

2gbx4 and its running below its speed @ 1333mhz. its suppose to be at 1600mhz ill have to go into bios an screw around with the memory

Yeah, got to enable XMP profile. I used my 3200Mhz ram at 2400Mhz for half a year because I didn't realize I had to set it up lol.

This old junk can tweak its RAM speeds/voltage? I am surprised...
