Build Description
I built this computer originally just to play some demanding games, and do some schoolwork. However I got into 3d design, and 3d printing things so I use it for that now as well. The main games that I play are Forza Horizon 5, Madden, and some PS3 emulation. Overall, the pc is a little overkill for what I do, but I'm glad I went overkill with it.
Favorite Feature
Favorite part of the build is definitely the EVGA 3070. I was able to get it for retail, which was very lucky. I got it about a month after release, so it was even harder to get one then.
