I often get asked about my computer, something like:
– What video card are you using?
– What gaming rig did you buy? What gaming setup are you using?
– What’re the specs of your PC?
I assembled my computer myself. I chose the parts I wanted, ordered them, and slapped it all together. It’s the way I’ve been doing it for years, aside from my laptops. And to be honest, anyone can put together a computer there days.
Most parts are either color-coded and/or only fit a certain way. So you don’t have to worry about the old days of hooking up ribbon cables the wrong way or setting your CPU in incorrectly.
The following charts are of the technical specifications of my current PC computer that I use for gaming and recording. There are two separate charts. The first one is for hardware and the second is for software.
