PC3 - P3NCE’s Setup

PC3 – The Powerhouse

PC3 is my personal system and the most powerful PC in the entire LAN. It’s the machine I rely on for the behind-the-scenes work that keeps Pence Family Gaming running — from video editing and website building to script writing and the occasional gaming session.

Because of time constraints with kids, chores, and everything else, I don’t get to play nearly as much as I’d like. Most of my gaming happens in Fortnite, and maybe in the future I’ll pick up Battlefield 6 if the price is right. I also hope to start experimenting with creating our own Fortnite game content, which could add a whole new layer to our channel.

This page will highlight the hardware that makes PC3 such a powerhouse, along with the software and tools that help me balance creativity, editing, and gaming. While it isn’t always about playtime, PC3 is the system that makes the rest of the project possible.
