Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 7 9800X3D gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for general use and gaming, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for memory.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended storage setup.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended video card, most of their attention was focused on systems for animation and programming.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended power supply.
  • We used our regular mid-tower case to fit the build. The customer requested a model without a glass panel.
