This is a place to document my journey with building & upgrading my PC.

In hopes to run Counter-Strike 2 with constant 240fps I decided to upgrade my GPU. It did not accomplish my goal :(
- NVIDIA RTX 4060 Ti
2021 July 26th
I upgraded my 16GB DDR4 Ram to 32GB and alongside it upgraded my CPU.
- AMD Ryzen 5 5800x
- G.SKill RipJwas V 4x 8 GB RAM

I've won a 1000€ Gaming PC in a CS:GO Tournament (1st Place Finish). This came with a Ryzen 5 3600 which I used to replace my Ryzen 5 2600x. Specs of the PC I had won (before modifying it):
- AMD Ryzen 5 3600
- AMD RX 5700XT
- MSI MAG Core Liquid 240r
It was a tournament with 128 participants, split into 4 groups (A, B, C, D) with 32 people each. The best 8 of each group advanced to the Final Group. I was first place in both groups :)
Also to mention a fun fact, in 2021 I participated in the LuciferLeague CS:GO Charity Cup, which was a small tournament with 8 Teams and 5 players on it each. Together we raised 2075€ for ablegamers.org.

Here we go RTX 2070.
2019 January 15th
I built my first PC, completely by myself with my own hands (with youtube tutorials!). My Case arrived 2 weeks later than the rest, so I had to use it without it during that time. For a short while I was using a NZXT Kraken x63 all-in-one watercooler. Performance wasn't as expected, so I later replaced it with a BeQuiet! Dark Rock 4
- NZXT H700 Case
- AMD Ryzen 5 2600x
- RX 580 8GB
2015 February 1st
The beginning of my journey. Here I got my first gaming PC coming from a cheap Laptop. Finally ready to fully enjoy Minecraft PvP. Unfortunately I didn't took many pictures of it back then. It was a pre-build PC from Amazon because I didn't know any better. However, it did it's job. Thanks BashPVP for the recommendation! I did upgrade the fans at some point to BeQuiet! Pure Wings 2 120mm. The specs were:
- Intel Core i5-4590
- NVIDIA GTX 960
- 16GB DDR3 RAM
