Design Rationale

  • The i9-9900K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling, editing, and gaming, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with at least a 240mm AIO is recommended. We found a model with white hoses for visual appeal.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM, and wanted white models without RGB.
  • The customer was mostly fine with our default storage setup, only adding a 1TB HDD.
  • For good performance in their workflow, the RTX 2080 was recommended. We found a white model for visual appeal.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 750W power supply was recommended.
  • We used a glass-heavy white mid-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our high-end RGB fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

“Amazing service, they really worked with me to know exactly what I needed in a computer and how to provide that.

They keep me updated at every step in the process and answered every question I had.”
