Design Rationale

  • The i9-9900K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for editing, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-tower is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM.
  • The customer requested a 500GB SSD for OS, 1TB SSD for main storage, and 2TB HDD for bulk storage.
  • We used an existing GTX 1050Ti.
  • 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.

Customer Review

“Top Flight Computers did a top-notch job in building my Digital Audio Workstation. For the price, I received an absolute power-house of a computer that loads my samples from Kontakt library and East-West within seconds. As an added bonus this thing is practically silent.

Depending on the person, it might be a little steep in price at first glance but if you’re incredibly serious about composing or audio creation in general, this is definitely worth the price.

The owner, Chris, is a nice guy and you can definitely tell he’s passionate about what he does and that goes a long way in creating trust with the customer. In all, I am extremely satisfied with what I paid for.”
