Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 9 3900X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for general use and editing, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-tower cooler is recommended. The customer preferred liquid cooling for increased cooling power.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM, 64GB was an easy upgrade.
  • The customer opted for a single 500GB NVME drive.
  • We recommended the RTX 2080 Super for editing performance.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 750W power supply was recommended.
  • We used a bigger mid-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our default fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
