PC Building & Gaming

My First High Performance Gaming PC Build

When I started venturing into the world of high-performance PC gaming, I was instantly hooked with how much better the performance & optimization were compared to the Xbox & PlayStation consoles I had at the time. Some close friends of mine already had gaming PC's, so I counted on their experience to help make a build that would last. I built my PC in 2017 & although I have done some upgrades throughout the years, the guts of the build remain largely the same. My parts list I created on PCPartPicker is available for anyone interested in all the hardware I picked, but at its core, it is a i7 7700-k CPU with an MSI Z270-A PRO motherboard & a  EVGA RTX 3070 FTW3 Ultra graphics card. The CPU and GPU are overclocked for performance increases, of course. While my last UserBenchMark didn't get 100% in all three categories, I'm still very happy with its performance five years later.

My Gaming

My favorite games of all time are Fallout: New Vegas, Insurgency: Sandstorm, S.T.A.L.K.E.R.: Shadows of Chernobyl, & Call of Duty: Modern Warfare - Warzone. If you couldn't tell by my list, my favorite genres tend to be first-person shooters & role-play games. Like most gamers, I enjoy games I can play with my friends. Whether that is Warzone in COD or finding the killer in Among Us, I believe online gaming creates a community of people all looking to have fun & share their love of gaming.
