    Hello Crinale0, 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 am a bot, and this action was performed automatically. Please [contact the moderators of this subreddit](/message/compose/?to=/r/gamingpc) if you have any questions or concerns.*

  2. I just upgraded my old Lenovo Thinkstation P310 today after it serving me very well for years. I love the case it’s so tough so i wanted to keep it. Cable management isn’t easy with this case but it works with plenty of air flow.

    It was a Core i7 6700 with 16GB 2133MT/s DDR4 and an old 500GB SATA III SSD and was really showing it’s age. So I bought the following and got it a bit more up to date.

    Intel Core i5 12400F

    Corsair Vengence 3200MT/s DDR4

    Gigabyte H610M K DDR4

    Samsung EVO 970 500GB NVMe SSD

    Corsair VS450 PSU

    Be Quiet! Pure Rock 2 Slim CPU cooler

    (Already had this and kept it) Nvidia Geforce GTX 1060 6GB

    It’s not the most powerful machine ever I know but it suits me as I only play older games (most demanding games being DayZ or maybe DOOM Eternal now and then.) The newer CPU and NVMe SSD have made it soooo much faster. I’m really pleased. Best of all it all cost me around $350 after i sold the old SSD and Core i7.
