This weekend I built a 2nd gaming PC from all the spare parts from my main rig upgrades. Only new parts are the case and 3 fans.

So on the weekend we did some upgrades. My oldest kid was swapping out CPU, so I realized... spare cpu, spare SSD, spare GPU, and I've got crappy old RAM in my box. Upgrade RAM on my machine and I just need mobo, psu, and case for a new PC for my middle kid.

#BuildaPC

...

Okay, #BuildaPC BSky, just upgraded CPU in my teenaged son's computer... And the old cpu came out with the cooler *very* firmly attached. I'm planning to use the old cpu to build a new PC for my younger kids. Do I need to pull off the cooler or is it okay to install them together as one unit?

I've never had a top of the line GPU before

#nvidia #buildapc

Motherboard and CPU arrived! Time to finally put this beast together. #pcmasterrace #buildapc

Now that the PSU is obtained and in my case, my PC feels heavier than it was before.

Also, the cable management isn’t that great yet. Once I get my motherboard, I’ll see if I can start properly wiring things up.
