A Bit of Everything

Build Description
I dislike naming PC building projects but I'll call this A Bit of Everything because that is exactly what this was intended to be used for as I was selecting components and putting everything together. The primary use will be for educational purposes doing online classes bit it will also be used from time to time for things like light productivity applications (photoshop, video editing, etc) and then also running some non-demanding games. I don't expect this will be used to play anything above 1080p resolution.As far as something I wish was done differently - I now realize that I could have installed more case fans fuctioning as exhaust blowing up and out of the case. But I can always add those later and so far temps and overall airflow have not been a problem at all.
Favorite Feature
I really like how I was able to get a cpu with 12 threads, decent entry-level graphics, and a quiet cpu cooler all in one $130 package with the AMD 5600G. Now I did later decide to upgrade the AMD wraith stealth to a larger cooler with 2 fans (Arctic Freezer 34 Due esports) but that was only because I had so much extra room in the case going unused. But for most people, I imagine that the 5600g is a very effective way of meeting three different needs at once with a single purchase at mircocenter.
