This was the last computer that I built; all from the H, and it's lasted me this entire time (9ish years) with only a few upgrades (added a SSD, mainly).
Things still haven't really changed. Pretty sure I'm still using the same monitor, and I'm looking at it for pretty much the same reasons for about the same price ($1200)
At this point I mostly play Dota2 and will be playing WoW Classic when it drops next week. Other than that, I play random stuff, but being a father with 3 kids in band, plus my gym life makes it difficult to do much more.
Couple notes:
I was looking at SFF/mini-itx boards. I originally bought the coolermaster case because I thought I was going to put all these hard drives in it; well that never really materialized. I technically have 4 in there: 2 SSDs and 2 standard drives, but I don't need a ton of space.
I like the look of Thermaltake's SFF stuff (like the Core P1) and want to utilize one of their AIO coolers, as well (something that I opted to NOT do 9 years ago and feel like I should have. I wanna have at least 32 GB of RAM as I feel that was an issue the last 9 years (I never splurged for the RAM, even though I should have).
This is a fresh ground up build. So, case, mobo, memory, vid card, SSD and HD, cooling. I'm in the middle US and I've an amazon prime account, too (though Newegg is always an option, as well).
Posting this here, even though a lot of the posts have fallen by the wayside because ya'll helped me out way back when and I know I'll get the same level of knowledge/help.
