Design Rationale

  • The i9-13900K 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, liquid cooling with a 360mm AIO is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 64GB of RAM, and didn’t want last-gen tech. More RAM was an easy thing for the customer to do.
  • The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
  • The customer was fine with our recommended video card
  • While the overall design of the build meant that a 1000W power supply was recommended, the customer opted for a 1200W to allow for GPU upgrades.
  • We used our bigger mid-tower case to fit the build and allow for GPU upgrades.
  • We used our highest-performing fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

“Easily one of the best big purchases I’ve ever made and to support a fantastic team at that.

Chris even came to my home (I’m local so it wasn’t too far) to troubleshoot a storage attachment issue I was having, which I totally did not expect.

It just shows the level of dedication to customer satisfaction and pride in their service you wouldn’t get elsewhere.

I am definitely understating how positive this whole experience is, give Top Flight a chance – you won’t regret it.”
