- standardize gaming pc builds with a script
- troubleshoot unusual game performance behavior
- configure windows services for lower latency
- set up a gaming pc from scratch step by step

## When to choose
- you want evidence-based Windows gaming optimizations rather than random tweaks
- you need repeatable, verifiable system configuration via PowerShell DSC
- you are building or maintaining multiple gaming PCs on Windows 10
