Intel MSI Gaming PC

Build Description
This was my first PC build. I built it mainly for university and programming, but also for some gaming when I need a break. I've always wanted to build my own PC and I finally got the opportunity to do it over summer. In hindsight, I should've spent some more money on a PSU and gotten an 80+ Gold, so that'll be the first thing I upgrade in the future.
Favorite Feature
I love the 3060ti I managed to get. I drove to Microcenter a few times but was unable to get a card, but one day I got lucky and got a really good spot in the Zotac virtual line and was able to get a RTX 3060TI. Its not a great overclocker but its way better than the Alienware Alpha R2 that I had before (which also constantly shut down from overheating while gaming).
