It's my first build so I'm pretty proud of myself. I did have some help from the gf, but I picked out all the components, mounted most them and troubleshooted the majority of the issues I had all by myself. Thanks to my dad forcing me to do some of my own upgrading by myself (simple things like, adding/removing RAM, adding/removing GPUs, etc) when I was a kid in middle school, I already knew my way around a computer's interior.

Kinda proud of my new rig.

Nice, congrats! I built my first rig last year, skimped on a couple parts like the graphics card and the cd drive but I am really happy with how it's turned out a year later. I can't recommend it enough, I've already swapped parts out for better ones and it's still running great (for what I ask it to do). Hope yours works out for you as well as mine has for me.
