Write Up:

CPU:

  The 3600 offers 6-core 12-thread Performance that will breeze through most workloads with ease.

CPU Cooler:

  This RGB cooler will keep up with the CPU well while adding some nice lighting to the build.

Motherboard:

  This offering from ASRock is a full ATX form-factor board supporting all the parts on this build well.

Memory:

  This 16GB DDR4-3000 kit from T-Force is a great RGB pairing for Ryzen CPUs to ensure the CPU is speeding right through all the Chrome Tabs you can throw at it (within reason lol)

Storage (SSD):

  This 256GB NVME SSD drive from Patriot has 512MB of cache (DRAM), double the amount of cache usually seen at this storage capacity. This is the drive to install your system on to ensure the pc is speeding along for years to come.

Storage (HDD):

  The Seagate Barracuda 2TB is a mainstay on my lists. This is the drive to put everything you don’t want clogging up your NVME. Games, songs, stream sources…. Any files that aren’t as demanding. HDDs get a lot of flak—a lot of builders switching to a single 1TB NVME. But the price to performance and storage of the Barracuda HDD is unbeatable. HDDs are great at one program at a time. If all you’re doing is loading a game, just playing a song, only loading a stream source… HDDs are fantastic for single tasks.

Video Card:

  This GTX 1660 from PNY is a reliable entry-tier video card that will breeze through most games at medium settings. The GTX 1660 also has a Turing NVENC encoder that can take the stream encoding load off the GPU and the CPU for you aspiring streamers.

Case:

  This case from Aerocool gives a beautiful black and sleek appearance with tasteful RGB on the front and rear fans. With its easy cable management and tempered glass side panel, even new builders can get a clean and professional-looking build. With the smaller form factor, it will take less room on your desk.

Power Supply:

  EVGA has a dependable 500W semi-modular power supply here. It has enough power for today and upgrades tomorrow.

Optional WIFI Card:

  This little card is fantastic. I have one in all of my personal builds. The Bluetooth connectivity is impressive. I have had uninterrupted connectivity throughout my house. So if I am working in the office and then go to the kitchen to grab a snack, my music is still playing through my headphones.

Bible Verse of the day:

Jeremiah 17:14

14 Heal me, LORD, and I will be healed; save me and I will be saved, for you are the one I praise.
