Update: I've finally upgraded my GPU to RTX 3070. Took new pictures as well.

A bit of a background: After using my old PC for 8 years, it finally showed multiple signs of aging. So I save up and build a new one. My first personal computer was a pre-built with an i7 2nd gen processor (purchased around 2012, which was also a graduation gift from my old man). My dad used to work at Intel when I was in grade school and his company gave him a complete PC set as a gift. (Early 2000s). That's when I started to learn about computers.

So, for my new PC, I decided to stay away from all the fancy RGB stuff as much as possible and stick with an all black set up. (Odd choice for a girl, huh?) Maybe it was because I'm used on the look of my old system which was very plain. Though I've added led strips just so I can sometimes see the inside since everything is black.
For the cooler, I was supposed to go with the Noctua NH-D15 but I wanted the sleek look of the NZXT's X series infinity mirror design.
For the GPU, I planned on getting a 3060 or 3070 from Asus but it was really expensive from where I live, so I ended up with the Asus 2060 Tuf. It was the only 20 series from Asus that I can get around November of last year. (Then added a vertical GPU bracket from Phanteks.)
I will upgrade my gpu to a 30 series once the prices are reasonable.
Been enjoying this for a couple months of casual gaming, video/photo editing (just a hobby) and hundreds of chrome tabs for work. lol jk.
Unlisted peripherals: Asus ROG Keris Wireless, Royal Kludge RK84 Cherry Red Switches, Berry Blue DS4 Controller, Logitech Z560 speakers

This was my first time building my own PC and it took me HOURS to complete but I enjoyed it. Youtube videos helped me a lot. I wish I was able to share this experience with my old man. :)

I'm also thinking of replacing the stock case fans. Any suggestions for a 120mm case fans? Of course, the non-rgb ones. Thanks!
