I built this PC to play Call of Duty.

Notes:

• I bought the graphics card on its launch date which was kinda exciting
• I initially purchased an MSI PRO Z690-P, but ended up not being compatible, so returned to Newegg and replaced with an MSI PRO Z790-P
• I ended up buying Windows 11 on eBay for $55 - worked out well

I wasn't using the computer much, so ended up giving to my brother. We packed it in a suitcase with bubble wrap and he flew with it as a checked bag. The tempered glass side paneled shattered during transit, but we were able to buy a replacement panel from Corsair.

I hadn't used Windows on a personal computer of mine for +10 years, and this experience reaffirmed my decision to continue using unix operating systems.
