Gaming / Productivity / Work PC

My HP OMEN laptop was starting to feel tired being put to work 40+hrs a week and additional playtime hours when the weather turns cold. This is it's successor.

My gaming is typically heavily modded it until it breaks Skyrim, FFXIV, LOL, Civ VI, RDR 2, Assassin's Creed franchise and so on. Work is some light and heavy excel / sheets for and productivity is light photo / video editing at the amateur level.

Priorities considered during build: 1.Performance 2.Quiet (I'm so tired of laptop coil wine and loud ramp ups) 3.Functionality 4.Value/$ 5.Aesthetics: Avoided gamery looking finished build (RGB). They're cool but not for my daily driver.
