First PC Build

Build Description
Howdy! This is my first PC build! I built it this summer to do some gaming and help with my online classes. I mostly play eSport and AAA titles such as CSGO, R6:Siege, GTAV, Borderlands, Gears of War, and COD. The 2060 Super/Ryzen 3600 combo is amazing and runs almost any game at 1080p High settings with no problem and performs well at 1440p. I think it should be an amazing PC for the next few years but I may look to upgrade the storage down the line. Currently I only have a Seagate 2TB HDD and a 256GB Inland Premium M.2 SSD so I will probably add another 2TB HDD or a 1TB Samsung 2.5in SSD. I may also look to upgrade the AIO. The white H100i fits the color scheme amazingly but I really like the look of the LCD display on the NZXT Z63. I also might buy two more Corsair LL120 RGB fans to replace the stock NZXT fans I currently have mounted on the radiator.
Favorite Feature
Aesthetic wise, my favorite feature has to be the lighting. I switched the LL120 RGB fans that come with the AIO to the back of the case to provide more lighting and I think it looks amazing. Corsair's iCue software gives you so many lighting options and I frequently switch up the colors. Performance wise, I love the 2060 Super. I have the white Gigabyte Gaming OC 2060 Super with the triple fans. It is an amazing card and runs any game I play at 1080 High settings with amazing frames. Temps are also amazing. Even with an aggressive fan curve, the fans rarely ever turn on and make little noise when they do. Overall, it is an amazing card for the price.

I could not find the correct GPU so picked one of the same price. I have the white Gigabyte Gaming OC 2060 Super with the triple fans rather than this one.
