Build: i5-9400F // 16GB RAM // ASUS TUF Z390-Plus Gaming // RX 580 GPU

This is a system that I recently built to replace an old machine and the first PC build that I've done in years as I've had laptops forever. The post format is not a typical step-by-step guide; but it should cover everything necessary to build another machine just like it at a high level and it includes a de-serialed copy of my CLOVER folder. Note: There is no DSDT patching needed for this build.
