Took a while to build it, and get the ISO flashed onto a USB key to boot, since the reused M2 MVNE SSD upcycled from an older mining rig recycled, and had a windows repair partition that attempted unsuccessfully to repair the disk. Fortunately disabling secure boot in the bios allowed the USB ISO to boot into POP installer, from there system spent all day downloading Steam & CS2, some 60GB of data, over 85 mbps wifi connection, which improved from 52mbps to over 90mbps when I installed the dual antenna to the IO output of the MSI Pro B550 VC motherboard.
For reasons I do not understand, I have to use HDMI cable to get my monitor and graphics card to communicate, using 8K Display Port cable, nothing visible on the screen, and even troubleshooting so far, DP port work, I am not sure why I cannot use the nicer braided DP cable and stuck using the monitors short included HDMI cable. I will do more research to figure it out.
Built my first desktop PC in 1994, using parts obtained from PC shop in Kent Washington, my adoptive father took me there on a Saturday, armed with $450, he contribute $200, got me a color CRT monitor, and a family friend gave me a CD-ROM with Windows 95 on it. Full ATX case, PSU, Pentium Intel CPU, 3DFX AGP GPU, 100MB HDD 64MB DDR RAM, Modem for Dial-up 56K internet, AOL Netscape Navigator, and could only use it online with permission because it absorbed our families only phone line to connect, mostly to web rings about high voltage physics, lasers, chemistry, things that spiked my interest as a per-teen!
This latest PC build my 7th desktop build since 1995. By far the fastest and highest performance, the total build cost $810 keyboard full RGB gaming, 22 in LED 1080P LCD monitor, Cubix-G case, Rosewill 650w 80+ gold PSU, 64 GB DDR4 3200MT/s, AMD ryzen 5-5500 CPU, Thermalright Assassin V2 CPU cooler w/ FRGB fan that matches the 3 included case fans, all the same FRGB color matching, looks cool through the glass, including the Asus dual fan 3050 6GB OC graphics card :)
