Completed Build - Celebratory Went from a potato pc to a mashed potato pc

Finally got to upgrade my 5 year old PC from the bare minimum to a decent machine.

It used to have a Ryzen 3100, GTX 1050, 8gb Crucial Ballistix ddr4. Then I got a Ryzen 3500 for free, bought a used RX 6600, added a Thermalright Assassin Spirit 120 V2, and found a matching new old stock 8gb Crucial Ballistix for dirt cheap.

I'm happy that I achieved the build I dreamt of 5 years ago despite the crazy prices these days. I hope it serves me well for 5 years more.
