Custom PC Assembly and Optimization

Beginning 2017, I have specialized in building and optimizing custom PC systems, combining advanced technical expertise with a commitment to perfection. This project started with a simple goal: to create a simple, low budget, yet versatile, and scalable Computer allowing me to upgrade down the line. Since my first system, I have not only made said occasional upgrades, but have built 6 other computers from scratch, and helped optimize dozens.

My initial configuration was centered around AMDs AM4 platform, specifically utilizing the Ryzen 5 2400G to act as both the CPU and GPU for the system. With this, I used a B450 motherboard to facilitate overclocking. Other specifications included 8GB of DDR4 RAM, a 1TB WD Blue Hard Drive, and a 450-Watt Power Supply.

As my needs and budget evolved, so did the system. The first addition was the integration of a Radeon RX580, providing a dedicated GPU, and in-turn, providing better performance. A few years later, I made the switch to a second-hand GTX 1080, chosen for its (especially at the time) amazing price to performance ratio. Most recently, I upgraded to a B550 board, with a Ryzen 5600, and 32GB of RAM, as with the introduction of AM5, the prices of AM4 products were discounted significantly, which was accompanied by the expansion of 2 500GB m.2 NVMe SSDs, to accommodate my need for more storage.

Beyond hardware assembly, I have naturally developed a proficiency in system optimization. This includes precision overclocking, ensuring stable and efficient operation, and extensive adjustments to system configurations to optimize boot times and operational efficiency. A few skills involve refining startup programs, enhancing storage management, and customizing security settings to ensure system integrity.

My expertise has been applied not only to personal projects, but also in the assembly and optimization of dozens of systems for a variety of people ranging from friends and family, to professional acquaintances. These projects have spanned a wide range of specifications and needs, utilizing components from leading manufacturers like Intel, AMD, and Nvidia, from legacy architectures, to cutting-edge technology.

This intermittent, yet never-ending project of mine reflects not only my commitment to the industry, but the passion behind it, the deep understanding I have built, and the pursuit to continue discovering and learning.
