Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 9 9900X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 64GB of RAM.
  • While we recommended our baseline storage setup, the customer was fine with a single-drive setup.
  • We recommended the RTX 5070 12GB based on the current needs and budget.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1000W Gold power supply was recommended.
  • We used our regular mid-tower case to fit the build.

Customer Review

“Chris was great to work with throughout the entire procurement process. He assisted me with sizing and selecting my PC while helping me understand the pros/cons with each hardware selection.

He was also very communicative with the status of assembly and shipping. It shipped much faster than what was initially quoted.

My new PC runs much smoother and quieter than my previous, which was my primary objective. Unfortunately, I made a colossal mistake when installing Windows 11 Pro that caused me to reformat the new local drive.

The team at Top Flight was excellent in promptly supporting me, which included numerous phone calls, reinstalling the drivers, and walking through the proper Windows installation.

I plan to use Top Flight for all my future PC needs. A big thank you to Chris and Jeremy!”
