Current System (2012 - 2016)

It's been almost 4 years since I did my last PC Overhaul. Back then, Ivy Bridge (LGA1155) was fresh from the oven. That has since been succeeded by Haswell (LGA1150), Broadwell (LGA1150) and SkyLake (LGA1151).

For some reason, my computer is starting to act up again recently. I don't know if it's due to Windows 10, weak PSU (which I suspect), or just the parts getting old.

Since then, I've made some minor upgrades and purchases. (most recently a mechanical keyboard!)

This is a post for my own reference. As of now, I have not decide on when to do the next major overhaul.
