Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 7 9700X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for lightly-threaded workloads, multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks, and a great upgrade path.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, a dual-tower air cooler is recommended
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for 32GB RAM.
  • The customer agreed with our storage recommendation.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for an RTX 5060Ti 16GB.
  • We recommended a 850W power supply based on the overall design of the build.
  • We used our default mid-tower case to fit the parts and give solid airflow.
  • We used our default RGB fans to add some tasteful lighting.

Customer Review

“Chris was super helpful throughout the process. Even though I had zero knowledge about computers he was able to understand what I wanted and was able to deliver.

I was given updates about assembly and was given a correct time frame for shipping. The computer itself is awesome and is running like a dream.

Set up was super simple. I cannot recommend Top Flight Computers enough.”
