Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 9 5900X 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 dual-tower cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality. Support for a second GPU was very important.
  • The customer wanted at least 64GB of RAM, 128GB was an easy upgrade.
  • The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
  • We recommended the RTX 3070Ti for editing and rendering performance.
  • 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 fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

I’ve been very happy with my build. I enjoyed talking to people that geek out in what they do. They put together a good plan for a machine that fits my needs. I’ve had my machine for a few months. It has been a stable and quite as I pushed it through some heavy tasks.
