Brother's Budget Workstation Build | Welcome to 2018!



Hey, everyone!

We are now in 2018 and here is the first video. Sorry it took a while to upload some content. I guess this Winter made me feel like a bear in hibernation.

My brother has been using an Apple iMac from 2011 to work on his music. He asked me if I could help him build a budget workstation which would be more current. Something that would be more powerful. I was glad to take on the task, especially since we're family. Below are the following specs of this system. About half of the items I already had on hand and the other half was purchased (but some of that is used which helped keep the cost down).

System specs:
Intel Core i5-4590 Processor
8GB (2 x 4GB) DDR3 Kingston HyperX Savage RAM
120GB HP M700 SSD http://amzn.to/2sv8WoN
2TB Hitachi HDD
ASRock B85M-ITX Motherboard
Rosewill Legacy V6-S Mini-ITX Cube Computer Case
