Design Rationale

  • The i9-9900K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling and gaming, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-tower cooler was recommended. Liquid cooling was more powerful, but the customer wanted a more stable solution.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM, more memory was an easy upgrade.
  • The customer was fine with a single NVME drive for storage.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended video card
  • 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 high-end fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

“My system was 5 years old and was ridiculously slow. Working with Chris to decide on the type of system for me (CAD) was incredibly easy.

He is great to work with, answered all my questions about the parts AND he even had it put together earlier than expected.

Highly recommend if you need a system…new or upgrade.”
