WOW I really didn't notice my build has cost this much... BUT the parts were mostly bought on sale or taken from other computers.

How the building process went

A lot easier than what I was expecting it was going to be, the hardest part was cable management.

How their computer runs vs. how they expected it to run

When I first built the computer I was gaming at 1080p/60hz and I was constantly sitting at the max end, then last week I got the Benq 1440p/144hz and it has been amazing, everything has been so smooth. I just with Skyrim could run at 144fps

Any regrets or changes you would have made looking back

Now that I am more confident in my pc building skills I wish I could overclock my system.
