2023 Budget Build (Extreme)

Build Description
Hi Everyone! The main goal of this build was to move my clunky ATX mid tower into a smaller form factor. After searching around, I found that Microcenter had unbeatable deals on open box items. Everything went great with the build, and I'm super happy with how it turned out. After selling my old components, my net cost totals to about $90. I'm mainly playing Overwatch 2 right now.
Favorite Feature
My favorite feature has to be the case. The form factor is exactly what I'm looking for, and Lian Li makes great cases. I usually go SUPER cheap on cases, but after seeing and feeling the Lian Li cases in person, I was instantly sold.
