First Gaming PC 2014

Build Description
My very first gaming PC that I built back in 2014. My roommate in college convinced me to build a PC, and helped me with the process. It has served me well ever since, though it's starting to show it's age. It was also very dusty.
Favorite Feature
I really liked the ASUS Maximus VII Hero motherboard. I think it still looks really good and it's feature rich.
