FOUR MOST IMPRESSIVE ELEMENTS: 1) Dual Samsung 4K Monitor (for movies/ work/boring stuff) & ASUS 144hz 2K Monitor (for gaming). 2) GTX 1080 Founders Edition - Jumping from a GTX 460 to the 1080 saw a slight increase in performanc­e! 3) Corsair water cooling loop for my i7- 6700K. 4) Xonar U7 Sound Card + Audio-Technica ADG1X - gives me control of volumes I didn’t even know existed.

LAST UPGRADE: The Asus sound card and headset combo, which cost a bit but was 100% worth it as I can now hear people scream on the plane in PUBG with crystal clarity.

DREAM UPGRADE: Maybe changing my card up to a GTX 1080Ti or even chucking in another 1080 in SLI.

FAVOURITE FEATURE: Asus ROG monitor - not that I can see 144 FPS but it’s nice to know it’s there.

WHY SO SPECIAL: My first PC was from a second hand store and was the biggest piece of garbage I ever had (its power button had been replaced with a LEGO switch). Ever since then I have loved building and perfecting my setup over the years to get to where I am now, with my dream setup that I am almost content with... almost.

1. Is that an Atlas Dawn? 2. So you’re the target market for headphone stands! We always wondered. 3. Your boring monitor is still pretty exciting 4. Junior cartograph­er Wilks approves of the maps 5. We like the PC placement - it’s like it’s lording over the monitors and peripheral­s 6. Someone is a fan of Logitech
