Heya guys!
I realized the last post I did was my older PC called Destroyer II, which was an older PC my parents had that I put some new parts into (GPU, CPU, CPU cooler and PSU). The PC would overheat a lot because it was in a cabinet and the case did not have any ventilation, so I decided to build a PC myself that I could use to game and possibly stream/create content with in the future.
Specs:CPU: i7-4790 @ 3.6 GHz
CPU Cooler: Cooler Master Hyper 212
MOBO: MSI SLI Krait Edition
GPU: EVGA NVIDIA GTX 960 4 GB SSC
PSU: EVGA 500W 80+
RAM: Crucial Ballistix Sport 8 GB (2x4GB)
HDD: Seagate 1 TB
Case: Cooler Master Elite 431
Extra Case Fan: ARCTIC F12 120mm
Mouse and Keyboard: Cheap from Walmart & Amazon
Monitor: Acer 21.5" LCD
OS: Windows 10 Home
Speakers: Logitech Z313
WiFi Card: TP-Link WDN3800
I originally paid for an i5-4690 (I didn't need an unlocked CPU because I don't wish to overclock at all), but Amazon messed up and gave me an i7-4790 on accident. I was very excited to say the least.
Ignore the cables, please, because this case is
NOT for cable managing whatsoever.
This is with my older GPU (660), but I swapped it with my 960.
In a few days, I will be getting an order that I just bought off Amazon, which is 2x4 GB of more ram since DDR3 RAM is cheap at the moment (I paid less than $40 for 8 GB, but the price went up $2 now), a new keyboard & mouse combo: Cooler Master CM Storm Octane LED gaming mouse and keyboard, and a Logitech G35 headset.

I will be getting the Cooler Master Trooper Rev. 2 case, an EVGA 850 G2 80+ PSU, more case fans (haven't decided which ones) and a Seagate 3TB HDD.
EDIT: I also want to go with SLI 960s in the far future, hence the SLI mobo. That will be a long time from now though.
