MSI Build

Build Description

My prior computer met an untimely death, but I was due for an upgrade anyway. The timing couldn't have been better, as the very next day a great deal came out on an i9 bundle. I thought I would take a stab at building my first unit. Something that should have enough meat to last at least 5 years.

Favorite Feature

It's my first full build from the ground up, so I feel pretty good about what I've built. So far I'm happy with this "mostly" MSI build, everything seems to be quality.
