My First Build

Build Description
This was my first ever PC build. I built it because at the time I worked for Intel and got discounted CPUs, so figured why not! Only bad part was I got caught right in the middle of the GPU shortages, but I was fortunate to be able to get an RTX 3060 from the EVGA queue when everything was out of stock. I generally play RPG type games (Elder Scrolls) and strategy games (Civilization franchise) and I dabble a bit into shooters, but not much.
Favorite Feature
Not much special to it, but I like the front RGB fan. It is nice to add character, but not too much RGB to be obnoxious.
