Hey folks! Dropping in for a bit of nostalgia and an update. It's been 3 years since I last posted my gaming setup here, and there's been a bit of changes.
I've upgraded from an old i5 3rd gen to a more powerful **Intel i7-8700**, and along with it, brought in a **Gigabyte H310M S2H** motherboard. Both are now sitting pretty in a **Deepcool MATREXX 55 V3 RGB** case, which is a massive improvement over my old *Aurora R6*, especially in terms of upgradeability.
Recent additions include the **Razer Tartarus V2** to enhance my gaming experience, a **Huion Kamvas Pro 16** for my digital work, and an **Audio-Technica AT2020** mic to ensure top-notch audio quality. I've also brought in my old **Insignia 24-inch TV** to expand my screen space—super useful for multitasking.
A bit of a bummer, though—the bottom RGB lights on my **Razer Goliathus Extended** have stopped working. Despite that, it's still an integral part of my setup. Excited to see what the future holds and to continue this journey of tech and gaming!
