My main desktop machine has changed over the course of the last few years. Mainly a couple mobo swaps for various reasons (one was ugly, and I'm a sucker for aesthetics and the other randomly failed during a custom BIOS flash. Woops.).

One thing that's remained constant throughout each rendition, and that's the stability. Dual booting OSX ElCap and Windows 10 (basically just for gaming), It does everything i need and more. The only thing I'd love to change is the GPU, but I'm holding out for the new 10 series cards support.

Here's a breakdown, although some prices aren't available because this is an older socket. I've been rocking this build for almost 5 years now. Regardless, here's the part list.
