Personal Interests & Hobbies

I enjoy building and fixing PC's I taught myself how to build them after having a big interest in computer gaming so I decided to give building my own pc a try. Over the years I continued to teach myself with PC hardware and software and continue to build and play around with PC components and help out friends with their PC gaming builds. As well as being a pc gamer I am a big fan of football and cricket.
