Orange Everything

Build Description
This build was done as a final refresh of a workstation that is based on socket AM4 and using dd4 ram. At the time of writing, the prices of ddr4 ram, ssd storage, and even graphics cards have all dropped significantly. So it was time to hit up Micocenter and make this happen. This build is about a true split between 50% photo editing (work) and 50% running games at 3440x1440 (ultrawide monitor) resolution.
Favorite Feature
Can you tell that I like orange? Best color! Sadly very few manufacturers make matte orange components. I even looked into spray painting some internal components, but in doing that research, I learned that adding paint can reduce performance and cause problems. This is especially true for fan blades. Ultimately I then chose to go with black components with as much rgb orange that I could.
