Build Description

It's my first build ever after years of making mock PC lists on the MicroCenter custom PC builder. It's for everything from gaming to audio production with some CAD on the side. It was a little bit of a struggle to build in it being my first build was in an ITX case, but overall I love how it turned out and am excited to complete my entire setup!

Favorite Feature

how small it is so it can fit on my desk.
