My storage pick for my OS. I had never used SSD before this build, and i'm very pleased so far with the load times.

Samsung 860 EVO 1TB secondary storage drive.
The PSU is a Corsair RM850x White, 850 Watt, 80+ Gold Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply
Cpu installed into the Asus Prime Z390-A mobo, backplate for the Corsair H100i Platnum installed, there are x2 M.2 slots on this mobo I installed the Samsung 970 PRO in the lower M.2 with the heat shield for afew reasons. 1 The other m.2 is directly above the slot for the GPU, and 2 it has no heat shield. x2 Corsair Vengeance Pro 16gb DDR4 ram @ 3000MhZ. I picked up two blank sticks of the Vengeance Pro to give it a cleaner look, and my OCD couldn't handle the gap. LUL

As a first time PC builder the wiring process was abit overwhelming. Start to finish with abit of help from a friend it took about six hours to build. It posted on the first power up!! I plan to order some cablemod extensions to give a cleaner look for the GPU cables, and 24pin cable, as well as replace the stock rear exhaust fan for a Corsair ML140 PRO RGB.
The Fractal Design Define R6 is a very well made case. There are three air filters on this case with a fine mesh filter, and are easily removed for cleaning.

The ASUS ROG GeForce GTX 1080 TI OC is a beast of a card

Thank you for taking the time to check out my build. If you have any comments or suggestions I would love the feedback!
First custom PC
As the title says this is my first custom built PC. The goal was to build a machine that could function as a workstation, and a gaming PC. Before this I was using a pre-built dell 8500XP with a locked Intel CPU, and Radeon GPU. I kept the monitor from the pre-built as a secondary.
