[Project Log] The Arc (Multi-tasking powerhouse)

This will be a relatively simple build, no modding or anything like that. I just wanted to make a thread to document the build for those who enjoy looking at such.



So long story short, this is going to be my Father's first new desktop since 2002. Back in 2002 he had a P4 desktop custom built and after that got outdated he just used laptops till now. About a week ago his old Dell laptop kicked the bucket and I finally convinced him to get another desktop. The build is going to handle light gaming and heavy video creating and encoding.
