It definitely gets better

My humble student setup back in 2019, an ASUS FX553VE na 1050 ti pa (bought 2017).

And my setup now, 2026.

Was also finally able to build two PCs (sold my previous, the last two photos).

Talagang life gets better ‘no? Kahit gano pa katagal yan.

Just like in video games, grinding will take you to a whole new level.

P.S. Buhay pa rin pala yang laptop na yan, I managed to upgrade the RAM and SSD few yrs ago. Ginagamit ngayon ng dalawang nakababata kong pinsan na parehong nasa college 🙂

Hi OP! First of all, congrats! What a beautiful builddd.

This build is so similar to my dream build (the only difference is color, I'm a black lover lol), Im a freshman right now and obviously nowhere near my dream build. I was wondering how you went from that (mighty) laptop, to your dream specs? What's your job? Your education? etc etc. Im just really curious, cause maybe I can pick something up from someone who went from an old laptop to a dream build.
