Design Rationale

  • The i9-9900X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for editing and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks. The upgrade path to a 9980XE, along with more memory support and PCIE lanes made it a better choice than an i9-9900K.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-tower is recommended. The customer preferred liquid cooling with a 360mm AIO.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 128GB of RAM.
  • The customer requested twin 1TB SSDs and triple 1TB NVMEs.
  • We used the existing video cards. We installed a single card because the other was being used for a job at time of building. We prewired the power cables for the second GPU.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1200W 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

“I wish I had gone to Chris sooner. He knows his stuff, he’s professional and won’t let you down. If you make your living with a computer, don’t make the mistake I did…I waited.

Get an upgrade, you won’t regret it.”

Brian, Raleigh NC
