Mona Lisa of Budgets

Build Description
I started off with a console and found myself hitting a cap on my gaming skills and decided it was time for an upgrade. I worked a bit harder and pooled some money together after watching countless youtubers build budget systems using Dell Optiplex's but upon agreeing to my dad to check out the micro center, I was shocked! I quickly sold my xbox and a few of my old games and shoes and headed down to micro center and found the best motherboard cpu deals! If I win, I will use the money to purchase the all new RTX 3070 which has a starting price of exactly 499$ and will be a huge step up from my GTX 1650 Super!
Favorite Feature
One thing that I really love about my build is how inexpensive it is. I always thought that PC's costed around 1000 dollars but I kept my budget well under 550 dollars and was able to build an amazing PC and upon hearing the specs, you too wont believe this is a 550 dollar system!
