High Performance Gaming PC

Build Description
My first PC build I built myself to replace my old gaming laptop with an RTX 2060. Got a pretty good deal from Microcenter bundle and picked up 9070 xt GPU from them as well. The build went smoothly overall, but the only odd moment was during the first boot. The USB port in the front didn't work for loading up the Windows installation drive. I had to use the USB port in the back to boot it up. After tuning the settings and benchmarking, it scored 19685 on Cinebench R23.
