Optimus Prime

Build Description
This is my first ever build that I've done by myself and my second PC. I built this one about a week ago after having one build for 5 years and the only upgrade being the GPU. I realized that the PC was getting old and decided to build a new one! The PC got its name because of the Z690-A Prime motherboard that's inside. All of the parts in it are brand new, except the GPU which is only a RTX 2060, but hope to upgrade to a 3080ti or 3070ti soon.
Optimus Prime is pretty much good at everything: Recording, streaming, and gaming. Runs every game like a champion, just would like to upgrade the GPU.

Favorite Feature
RGB is by far my favorite. The 4000x and RGB go so well together you can see the whole thing glow.
