Gaming Rig 3600

Build Description
I wanted to make something affordable, but also with an upgrade path. AMD's AM4 socket provides that flexibility. This build originally had a Ryzen 3 1200 in it, but now has a Ryzen 5 3600. (Note that the "Create a Build" does not provide a 3600 option, so I selected 3800X instead as the most similar CPU).
The 3060Ti gives this a lot of performance for the target resolution of 1080P.

Favorite Feature
I hadn't build on an Asus mobo for a long time, so this was a revival of sorts. Until that time, I had stuck primarily with DFI motherboards.I've always used eVGA so that's a given.
