Lockdown Sanity Protector

Build Description
I built this PC in early 2020 with parts almost exclusively bought at Micro Center in St. Louis Park MN. When MN when into lockdown in early March, I used this computer religiously to keep in touch with my friends in Discord: playing games, watching movies, hanging out, and CADing. This computer is powerful enough that I don't have to think about what applications I am running or how many I am running at a time, I am able to do anything on this machine and I will be for the foreseeable future.
Favorite Feature
I installed a vertical GPU mount and it ties the whole system together wonderfully.
