My First PC

Build Description
I wanted to get into the PC world for a while now, and finally decided to build one. I went to microcenter in Brentwood, MO and was amazed at the professionalism of the staff. I already kew what I wanted, so that made it easier on the process. I am a college student, so I also wanted something that I could use for both work and play, and this PC has exceeded my expectations.
Favorite Feature
I was able to score an RTX 3060 at a great price, given the current market. It runs cool and quiet, and isn't too flashy or RGB heavy, at least for now anyway.
