My first ever gaming desktop

Build Description
I had been playing a lot of Cities Skylines, Civilization VI, Humankind etc. on my dying laptop computer. So I decided to finally pull the plug and assemble my first gaming computer. I use it to play the games mentioned earlier and I am finally so happy to see that I can play any games I want without having to go over its specification requirements. I am an engineering student, so I also use this computer to get school work such as coding, circuit simulation etc. done.
Favorite Feature
My favorite part of the build is the ASUS TUF 3080 V2 OC. I love this GPU because it is centuries ahead in performance compared to my old laptop's 1050Ti Max-Q.
