It may be odd in this day and age to go with a non-K locked Intel processor, but it performs much better than expected! Also, the 5400RPM Toshiba hard drive may be a confusing choice for some but it was an afterthought, only purchased because i realized just how quaint 500gb is nowdays.

However, this thing KILLS 1080p gaming! I was expecting to only get around 1080p 60hz, but i'm getting ~130FPS in most of the games i play (R6: Siege, Payday 2, Battlefield 4 & 5). It can perform adequately in 1440p, but i only have a 1080p monitor so there is no need.

At the end of the day, i know I could have gotten better fps per dollar, but it was really important to me that the system looked clean. Hope you enjoyed this post as much as I enjoy my computer!
