Build Description
I built this system as a replacement for a previous computer I owned, I use it mostly for basic tasks and gaming.
As for the titles that I play on it, a Majority of my time using it goes into the Master Chief Collection and competitive games such as CS:GO, Though I've played a small amount of Forza Horizon 4 with a racing wheel set that I no longer own.

Favorite Feature
The CPU makes many of the applications I use extremely snappy, PBO boosts the performance quite well.
