So you clicked the post and you are wondering, why did you pick that name? Well it is black and red like most computer themed builds, and I already had some spare parts that could go along with the overall theme. The purpose of this build is to play Skyrim heavily modded in high settings at 1440p, as well as some less known games (goat simulator) with a minimum budget. I also needed it to render images using adobe suite, and for coding.
I want to say thanks to AsRock because the provider of whom I bought the motherboard sold me an open box item and refused it. However AsRock customer service not only provided me with the missing accessories but they were quick about it too.

Haven't seen one of these in a while.
The best PCI Wireless I have ever come across.
I have installed most things, I am just waiting in the monitor and keyboard to get it started.
I will be posting more pictures throughout the month. I will probably upgrade a lot of stuff throughout the summer too!
