Apple Thunderbolt Display PC Build

Build Description
I built this pc for gaming and to specifically be used with my Apple Thunderbolt Display. It was a bit tricky as I had to us a specific z370 motherboard that had a Thunderbolt header along with a alpine ridge Thunderbolt card.
Favorite Feature
The ability to use a very proprietary Apple monitor with a gaming PC.
