Let me start this build log off with a little back story of myself so everyone that follows this kind of understands who I am.
Personal Bio
I am 25 years old. I am currently serving in the United States Army. I am married and have to kids. Why does this matter well because it means I don't have a lot of spare cash so this build which might turn into some light case modding. I have a lot of ideas floating through my head and I'll post my ideas to get your guys opinion. When it comes to my computer I have been very indecisive so some of my ideas might go back and forth.
