    I built mine back in 2016 and I am too broke to upgrade it just yet. Literally the only thing I have added since building it was the SSD and I just migrated Windows onto it along with some other important stuff.

    Intel i5 7500 (3.4Ghz)
    GeForce GTX 1050 Ti
    Corsair Vengeance 16GB (2x8GB) DDR4 3000mhz
    240GB Kingston SSD
    1TB Western Digital HDD
    MSI Z170-A PRO
    NZXT S340 case
    EVGA 500W 80+ Bronze PSU

    I'd take a picture but I can't be bothered right now. Maybe later.

    ooooo
    I could offer some suggestions to improve your price to preformance.
    for one, get a 3600 instead of a 9600k. Its cheaper by like 25 dollars and it has more threads, which is better in general.
    and two, get a 5700xt instead of a $425 2060S.
    also 32gb of ram is a bit overkill for any gaming tasks for now
    thats all and its just suggestions so dont feel like im judging you or anything

    ssds are king man
    i love the 5-10 sec boot up time i get

    Yeah, I've found them to be more reliable too. I've had two hard drives die on me in the past and it is not fun.

    My parents sent a cheque of $300 dollars in the mail to pay for my correspondence (Home school).
    A couple weeks later they said they could send a school laptop for me to use for my studies.
    I joined the correspondence school at 6/27/18 and left it to go on a beekeeping coarse around this time 5/17/19.
    I still got the laptop, they said they'll send a box to return it in but they never sent any box...
    This is the laptop:
    Intel Core i5vPro-3360M CPU @ 2.80 Ghz
    6.00 GB Ram - it came with 4GB but i had a similar laptop with 2 GB and bing bong boom now i got 6GB
    64-bit
    Not a touch screen
    Normal Intel graphics idk
    EliteBook 8470p

    building computers is easy as soon as you know what each part of a computer is and does (theres like 7 so its not terribly hard) and done a bit of research
    but it is hard to go from 0 to building pcs

    I put my pc together with just under a month of research. In that month I went from knowing nothing to being able to successfully assemble and configure my computer with no guidance. :)

    If you’re interested in looking at tutorials and stuff, I definitely recommend Bitwit’s build guides!!

    will edit in specs later
