Design Rationale

  • The i7-13700K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling and general use, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-tower cooler is recommended. The customer opted for a 360mm AIO because it was a marginal cost increase.
  • 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. 128GB was an easy upgrade for the customer to do.
  • The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
  • The customer was fine with our default video card
  • The overall design of the build meant that an 850W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our default mid-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our highest-performing fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
