Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 9 9950X3D gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for small workloads, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, a 360mm cooler is recommended
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for 64GB RAM. More can easily be installed in the future.
  • The customer agreed with our storage recommendation.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for an RTX 5070 12GB.
  • We recommended a 1500W power supply based on the overall design of the build, allowing for a future GPU upgrade without any cable adjustment.
  • We used our default mid-tower case to fit the parts and give solid airflow.

Customer Review

“I was in the market for day trading pc that could also play games.

The market is full of builders, but I wanted someone who could listen to what I wanted but also would let me know if something was overkill!

If you want an excellent custom quality build, quick turnaround with nothing but honesty, choose Top Flight Computers.”
