Low Price, High Performance

Build Description
I love this gaming PC. I built it to play my favorite games, Valorant, Apex Legends, Fortnite, and Cyberpunk. I also use it to surf the web and watch YouTube. The only thing I should've done differently is use sleeved cables for the 24 pin and CPU 8 pin, and not just the GPU connector, everything would've looked much nicer. Other than that, I have no complaints.
Favorite Feature
My favorite feature about this build is the simple sleeved GPU cable. It matches the GPU colors perfectly, it works out so well.
Ryzen 5 1600 AF
Qty: 1
$40.00
AF means 12nm, so it is basically a Ryzen 5 2600 with slower clockspeeds. Great CPU for the price, and came with a cooler.
ASUS Prime B450 M-A II
Qty: 1
$60.00
Great motherboard for the price. 4 RAM slots, easy to work with, and it even has some RGB headers on it.
MSI GAMING X GTX 1060
Qty: 1
$50.00
Great graphics card. Still kicks butt to this day, even though it was released in 2016. Whisper quiet card as well.

$32.99
Bought in-house from Micro Center for $32.99. Good deal if you ask me, but nothing really special here.
Montech X2
Qty: 1
$0.00
Got this from my cousin for free. I would probably not buy this if it were up to me, due to the poor build Quality, but I guess it works as intended.
MSI MAG A550BN 550 Watt 80 Plus Bronze ATX Power Supply
Qty: 1
$50.00
Got this off Amazon. Great, reliable unit for the price. 550 watts is plenty for a build of this caliber.

Was $25 at the time of purchase, but I had a coupon XD. Crucial is a very reliable company, who sells high end products.
