Finally, my first build

Build Description
I tend to buy so i don't have to replace every couple years. this build replaces an Alienware Aurora R7 from 2017. Everything went smoothly until it was determined that the original z790 Tuf Gaming was defective. Swapped for the Aorus and bang! It's awesome and the specs should last me for another 6 or more years. Minimal RGB. Just general business computing
Favorite Feature
I'm old but ended up kind of liking the RGB, static solid blue. added extra case fans to the Lian Li air mini. Just because heat kills.
