Make fighting e-waste fun and turn something old into a "good-enough" 1080p machine!

Item Backstory

I picked up an Optiplex 9020 MT to use as a case for a sleeper build, so I am unsure of how much run time is on it. I got lucky and it has one of the better CPUs from this generation in it. This would be a good upgrade for an older setup kicking around that has an LGA 1150 socket. I put new thermal paste on, and ran Windows 10 with it for about two weeks while I compiled other parts. I got a good kick out of running DayZ on 1080p high settings when I threw the RTX 3060 Ti I picked up locally in it. (CPU is the bottleneck there obviously... by a good bit.) No signs of any problems while I was using it.
