The standard of my custom builds has become more complex with time, as has my infatuation with performance, coupled with pleasing aesthetics.

:[AMD Ryzen] 2400G with some extras thrown around 

The Ryzen 2400G was part of AMDs first foray into decent integrated gaming graphics. Of course, I was an early adopter, being a huge fan of competition in the market. Likewise, I was one of the first to purchase an 1800X when it came out, back when AMD sat about destroying Intel's monopoly on powerful consumer chips.

But anyway, the 2400G offered quite pleasing gaming performance, at an affordable price and great power draw point.

i7 4790K Build

An ASUS ROG card was choice in this build. Back at this time I was a huge 'Be Quiet!' fanboy, I tried out the coolers, PSU and fans they had on offer. Great-looking and nice quality, I have since however moved on to Noctua, as hipster as it gets.
