The Midmaster

by Joseph R Posted on: 5/10/2024

Build Description

This build was fueled by 1, needing a computer to use for everyday things, 2, wanting to play some light games like Minecraft and Portal, and 3, trying to remain within a decent budget. If I was to do it all over again, I would probably have gotten a better CPU. When I bought my CPU it cost me about $100 due to the silicon shortages of the past couple year; now it's only worth around $50.

Favorite Feature

One thing I like about this build is the Intel GPU. Initially it wasn't all that great, but because it's so new, simple things like driver updates over time, have actually made my PC faster than some of my friends. Also, I like the idea of dethroning the massive duopoly of the GPU market with AMD and NVIDIA.
