I finally upgraded my non-aesthetic pc build after 7 years! The jump was huge. I went from a GTX 1060 6GB to an RTX 4070 Super. I honestly still can’t believe it even though it’s already been a month since I got my rig 🤣
Hello ikonicrhythm, and thank you for your submission to Gaming PC! If you are new please check out our rules over at the wiki [here](https://www.reddit.com/r/gamingpc/wiki/rules)! We have recently added the useful feature of Title Flair! You can set this manually by clicking Flair under your post once you have submitted your post, but if you missed it in the rules there is a much better way that will automatically flair your post!
To do this simply add what your post is about in brackets before your title. For example for a Build Log you can type [Build Log] before your post so that it looks like this; [Build Log]My new awesome build!, and the bot will automatically set your flair to Build Log! This works for Build Log, Build Showcase, News, Hardware News, Hardware Release, Discussion, and Miscellaneous!
Also remember that this is a place for discussing and sharing our love of Gaming Computers! This is NOT the place for help building or determining what parts you should buy, that is better suited for /r/buildapc. Troubleshooting questions should be directed to /r/techsupport. Thank you again!

I forgot most of the parts of my old rig already, I only remember these: **GPU**: GIGABYTE GeForce® GTX 1060 Xtreme Gaming 6GB **CPU**: Intel® Core™ i5-7500 **RAM**: 16GB (2×8) G.Skill Ripjaws but I forgot the exact specs **SSD**: Samsung 256GB, forgot if SATA or NVMe **HDD**: Western Digital 1TB
NEW RIG SPECS **GPU**: GIGABYTE GeForce RTX™ 4070 SUPER EAGLE OC ICE 12GB **CPU**: AMD Ryzen™ 5 7600X **RAM**: GSKILL TRIDENT Z5 RGB WHITE 32GB (2 x 16GB) 6000 MHz DDR5 **Motherboard**: Gigabyte B650E AORUS ELITE X AX ICE **PSU**: GIGABYTE UD850GM PG5W **SSD**: Samsung 990 PRO 2TB PCIe 4.0 SSD **HDD**: Western Digital 2TB 5400rpm (for most of my video editing stuff) **Case**: NZXT H6 Flow RGB **CPU Cooler**: Deepcool LS720 SE 360mm AIO CPU ARGB
I know I could’ve done better on the parts of my new rig (such as a better PSU model or not getting an AIO and getting an air cooler instead), but I decided that I wanted to go for aesthetics this time around! I’m enjoying my new PC and it’s all that matters, for me at least.
