Description
New pc, incorporating a couple parts from my previous (and first) build, Frey.
Freya Ingunn, meaning Goddess of love in old Norwegian language. Very cool sounding name imo. (according to my limited research. Correct me if I'm wrong here).
Fully built 12/26/2022, I used parts I think are good within my budget of $4,000 ish.
I was originally going to use Windows 10, but I was having troubles installing it, so I just formatted a flash drive with 11 and ran with it. Works alright so far, but there are definitely some changes I'm not too fond of. Mainly the fact that a lot of important menus for productivity (renaming files, etc.) are hidden behind a "More Options" tab you have to spend an extra click on. Overall, better than 8 (not that it means much, lol).
This is my main computer, and I use it to game, work on homework, do some light photo/video editing, stream videos/movies, and browse using Opera GX and DuckDuckGo.
That's pretty much it! Thanks for taking an interest~
Part Reviews
Storage
Came from Frey. Running perfectly, even after 6 years of constant use!
Video Card
Bit big, consumes a lot of power, runs a bit hot. Overall very powerful though, so it's good.
Case
There are some features I'd like added (creature comforts), but for the price, it's good.
Power Supply
Very good, and future-proof!
Wireless Network Adapter
Runs ok, it's alright. BT is a struggle to get working, though.
Keyboard
It works. Synapse software is ok. Razer is Razer.
Mouse
It works. Mirrored review from the keyboard (Ornata V2). The scroll wheel feels cheap in use.
Headphones
Uncomfortable, mid, ok sound. Nothing impressive. Not worth the $70. I would say it was good if it was $40 instead.
Headphones
Used them for a long a** time with Frey. They stand the test of time, and the mic works. Recommend.
External Storage
Bit slow (as expected of an external drive), but works good and has a lot of space. Good for a portable file backup.
Custom
Software is confusing as heck, and frustrating to set up. It works, but it's not nearly as good as people told me it was. Too much hype.
Custom
Overpriced webcam, mid as heck software. It works though, so whatevs.
Custom
It's a desk. A bit wobbly, but it works.
Custom
Protects desk, looks nice. 100% a stylistic buy. I got what I expected for a good price. Reccomend.
