Nicely done for a budget box, Josh, and I'm a fan of Noctua fans! ;-)

A relative recently built a new desktop with the help of his friend, and it's to be used for drone video editing and to get into pc gaming, most likely on the steam platform. Here are the main parts...

OS: Windows10 Pro
Motherboard: MSI B350 TOMAHAWK AM4 ATX - this mobo has built in M.2 pcie slot but not using now.
CPU: AMD RYZEN 1700X 95W
RAM: 1x 16GB DDR4 2666MHz Corsair Vengeance LPX
CD/DVD/Bluray: None that I know of.
Main Hard Drive: SAMSUNG E 250GB 850 EVO SSD
Second Hard Drive: TOSHIBA 2TB 7200 P300 3.5 OEM
GPU: EVGA GTX1080FTW 8GB PCIE HD3DP
Cooling: COOLMASTER HYPER 212 EVO UNIV HSF + COOLMASTER MASTERBOX LITE 5 TG RED
Power Supply: THERMALTAKE 650W 80+B ATX PSU
Case: This was donated to him by his building buddy who upgraded his own case.

Due to inflated market prices for several components, this wasn't a budget deal by
any means but for performance per dollar looks ok and also think he wanted the experience
of building his first computer even if 80% of it was watching his computer science buddy
do it! ;-) Will get the price list but not in front of me now.
