The Crimson Beast

Build Description
Coming from an i5 2500k and GTX 970, this PC is meant to run all the latest games that were previously not possible on a 4k LG OLED or high refresh rate 1440p monitor. The 7900 XTX felt like the best price/performance option for this compared to the others in the 800$ and up category. The CPU/MB/RAM bundle Micro Center offered made more sense than waiting for the Ryzen X3D processors.
Favorite Feature
The Lian Li Lancool 216 has a lot more space and airflow compared to what I would expect from a 100$ case. Having 3 PWM fans pre-installed is an extra bonus. I prefer minimal RGB lighting so getting the case without that for a little cheaper was nice.
