PC SETUP 🖥️

A long-needed upgrade, the start of which was delayed several times due to release dates being pushed back, as well as general stock availability. A couple parts were brought forward from the Grizzly — in particular the GPU which was bought in advance of the rest of the build! — as they were still usable and well within spec for the new parts.
