Design Rationale

  • The i5-12600K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for gaming, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a single-tower cooler was recommended, the customer opted for a dual-tower model. Liquid cooling is more powerful, but wasn’t required for the CPU.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM and didn’t want last-gen tech. 64GB is an easy upgrade.
  • The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
  • The customer wanted a great long-term video card.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 850W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our default mid-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our default RGB fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure, and to increase visual appeal.
