Build Description
I have always wanted to build my own gaming PC but never had the budget to get specifically what I wanted. But now I was able to save up enough and did a bunch of research on the specs and prices I was looking for and got exactly what I needed for my ideal gaming PC. I mainly want to be able to playing games at ultra graphics and high FPS and knowing that GTA 6 is on its way, I know I'm gonna need something really powerful if I wanna run it that way. I like a wide range of games like 3rd and 1st person shooters and even games like Sims or Planet Zoo or Age of Empires. Even Fifa and some racing games as well. I also use the PC for video editing. Not super high end hollywood crazy stuff but yeah. Just random home vids, I'm still learning. Just got DaVinci Resolve.
Favorite Feature
I really love the AMD Radeon RX 6950 XT GPU. It's really strong and for a great price. I researched on it and viewed comparisons with other cards of that price range and it's the best overall. Not so great with ray tracing but that's not a big deal. I was originally going for the 4070 but then I saw that the RX 6950 XT is better and for the same price. Tho not as good as the 4070 ti but that one is more expensive. Heck, the 6950 is even better than the 3080 ti and that one is more expensive. So I figured I got a pretty good darn deal.

Got the bundle. Was gonna get the i9 12900k bundle but this one was just 100 bucks more so I was like "eh, why not? Might as well go with something better." Either way I saved cuz it was a bundle.

Part of the i7 bundle, so for this one I didn't really get much choice and Idk much about motherboards, like how good this one is over others but from the research I did, it seems like it's good quality.
