Budget Build Birthday Gift

Build Description
A budget gaming PC I built for a friend's birthday. 1080p gaming was the target level of performance. He's coming from a decade old dual core system that could barely run any games at 600p resolution at 30 FPS, so this upgrade was massive to say the least.
Favorite Feature
I'm always a fan of understated black aesthetics. I think it turned out nice for the price.
