My previous PC, that's lasted 9 years, with minimal upgrades failed this past week. Thanks to an incredible employee of Milwaukee PC, on farwell st, my rig has lasted me nearly a decade. I mean of course I upgraded to an ssd hard drive as soon as that came out plus the GTX 1080 the second it came out. But after years of moving across the US, and to Canada, finally took its toll on my rig. I don't really know much about computers other than how to trouble shoot when something goes wrong. I'm fairly good at the guess and check method. At last, for the first time in my life, my guess and check powers failed. Despite my unwillingness to part with any crypto-currency, I decided I just had to give up 250 steem right around the $4 high we just witnessed. Just check out how investing your time in Steem and Steemit can pay off, with time and patience!

As mentioned before I'm not the best with computers so all the parts minus the case were picked out by
Raphael, who works at Top1Tech in Las Vegas, NV. The parts were chosen to fit my 250 Steem budget (roughly $1,000 USD) and for my love of pc gaming!
A Few More Pics
It's funny how much less of the insides you can see in a picture vs real life. I must have tried 50 diffenet pictures with many different angles and camera settings but the tempered glass just won't allow a life like picture.
I hope you enjoyed the post. I'm interested to know what other goodies people got themselves thanks to their contributions to Steemit followed by their patience to not dump right away!
