R5 5600X & RTX 3060 | The Ace

Overview

Designed to serve as both a home office PC for remote work as well as gaming PC, this build has no real inspiration, unlike my other two builds (linked below) which do. I scored the motherboard and GPU from a well-priced (at the time) bundle from the final Newegg Shuffle, and reused a CPU, memory kit, SSD, and case fans that I already had on hand, then went from there.

Check out my other builds, Beige and Black and Monolith!
