Build Description
My primary use for this is video editing in DaVinci Resolve, and some photo editing, as well as everyday browsing and such. I was shooting for a $1200 budget, $2000 with monitors, and just about met it. Performance has been great with DaVinci Resolve, Photoshop and Lightroom. My only quibble has been that sometimes it's a little slow to wake the monitors from sleep.
Favorite Feature
I always thought RBG was a bit silly, but my Microcenter salesperson actually found me some parts with RGB that were cheaper than without. And my case had the clear side already, so I figured why not. Now I reluctantly admit that I kind of love it :)
