Black Neon Glacier

Build Description
Meet Black Neon Glacier, my all-AMD, almost all-white build. It came together over several weekly trips to Micro Center, which is basically Sephora for men: I walk in "just to look" and leave with a cart full of things I didn't know I needed. It's the happiest place on Earth, and Disney can fight me. Under the hood: a Ryzen 7 9700X, an XFX Radeon RX 9070 XT, a Gigabyte B650 AORUS ELITE AX ICE, 32GB of DDR5-6000 and 2TB of NVMe, all powered by an ASRock Steel Legend 850W. Keeping it cool are a Montech HyperFlow Digital 240mm AIO and nine fans. Yes, nine. At this point it's less a PC and more a small wind farm. The whole thing lives in a white Montech XR with pink-purple lighting, which my eyes read as "cherry blossoms on snow" and everyone else reads as "unicorn spaceship." Both are correct.
Favorite Feature
The value, its performance, its temperate and its look. I picked every part for maximum performance per dollar, and it runs AAA games at 1440p and 4K like it's personally offended by low frame rates. As an engineer, I've put it through extensive stress testing, which is my official term for playing Cyberpunk until 2 a.m. And the AIO's live CPU temperature display means I can watch my numbers stay calm.
