Intel 12400/3060ti Build

Build Description
This was all new parts bought from MicroCenter with the exception of the GPU - bought second hand from Facebook Marketplace for $270. The 12400 is a GREAT CPU, and I think I won the silicon lottery since it got over 12,000 on Cinebench. The 3060ti is perfect for my 1440 gaming, and paired with 16GB of 3600mhz RAM at CL16, it is buttery smooth.
Favorite Feature
The Lian Li case has to be my favorite. This thing is built well and was very easy to work in.

One extra fan was needed (in my opinion) as an exhaust. The front case fans work great
