Build Description
this pc was built for Minecraft and CAD. It is replacing an old prebuilt iBUYPOWER (intel i7 8th gen, B360M, RTX2070). As of today I am planning on using my old GPU until I upgrade my monitors, as right now my RTX2070 has no problem keeping up with my 1920 x 1080, 75hz monitors. eventually I will most likely upgrade to an RTX5070 and some faster monitors. I yoinked a windows 10 key from an old laptop, which was a lot easier than I expected. My brother and I have been working with old pc components for years, so I finally built one from the ground up, and I have got to say it was super exiting to see all the lights turn on and fans spin up for the first time on something I built piece by piece.
Favorite Feature
I got neon green and black cable extensions from Amazon along with some uv magnetic light strips, and I just love the way they look.

I moved the rear exhaust fan to the top front intake, mostly for aesthetic reasons, but also to improve overall airflow. I replaced the exhaust fan with one from the cpu heatsink.
