Hi guys, figured I'd share my gaming build with all of you guys. It can handle nearly everything I throw at it. I also use it for work and other hobbies.

I play some Overwatch which gets 80-100fps and GTA 5 which gets 100-150 fps These benchmarks are at 1440p so 1080p would have nearly double fps Pics will come later. I wrote this post at work on my phone.
Spoiler: Sarcasm He's a drug dealer! That is a nice PC, what work do you do that requires such a computer?
I write music and do some coding and webapp development. As for how I got the money, I have been working at a big company since I was 19 (3 years ago) making decent money so I decided to treat myself. Normally I save all my money because I want to pay for school (25k USD per year) and have savings to get a nice car and start a mortgage for a house. The 1080 and Acer predator are new additions. I used to game with a 970 and 1080p monitor.
