Maximus 2.0

Build Description
Going from an i7-4790k/Maxmius Hero VII/32gb ddr3/1080ti setup...there was a big leap involved.
Mainly used for gaming, I needed something that was going to perform well with editing videos/photos, DDR5 performed better in early benchmarks.
I went with the Asus ROG Hero for the simplistic reason of when I do eventually need more PCIe NVMe slots, it had an adapter ready to go and ready for PCIe 5.0 ones as well.

Favorite Feature
I was aiming for a functional and simple look that packed a lot of power. Going from an extremely large case to a compact mid-tower dual chamber, I needed to figure out where all that cable management was going to go.
