Throughout many months, prior to the summer of course, I have been looking for computer parts which I could use to build a budget friendly but also powerful computer. Using different online shops, I was able to find a combo of computer parts (Motherboard, CPU, as well as Ram), which all together came at an affordable price of $59. Not wasting any time, I have ordered it, and it came during June this year. At this point, all I really needed was a case, as well as some other parts, like a new GPU as well as a Power Supply. After finding a $5 office computer case on Facebook Marketplace, which had all the necessities I needed (a CD drive, CPU Cooler vents), I quickly decided to buy it, which took an hour trip on the car. Next, I needed the CPU cooler itself, as I was now rocking a 6 core 12 thread CPU, and I needed an obese cooling system for it to run smooth, especially the more demanding tasks I would expect it to run. Hopping on to Facebook Marketplace, I was able to find an affordable cooler ($20), which was not only compatible with my cpu, but also came with 2 fans ready to cool the beast down. Using my vast knowledge on PC building, I took the Power Supply from My old Computer, and assembled my new PC (it took me 3 hours of careful work). However, even after this, my PC wasn’t finished, as I was using an 11 year old GPU with 5 year old parts, so I decided to switch it out. After coming back from Vernon in August, I was able to find a deal on a GPU for only $80 (it sells for $160 on the Market), and I was able to finish my computer, which due to it’s fan roar I have named: ‘The Beast’.
