Design Rationale

The Ryzen 5 2600X gave the customer a good amount of single-core performance for general use, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a single-tower cooler is recommended.
The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM, 64GB was an easy upgrade.
The customer was fine with our default storage setup.
The customer was fine with our recommended video card.
The overall design of the build meant that a 650W 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 have been a partner with Chris for about a year now. His support of the SESRA esport racing league has been vital every step of the way. Our small league was in need of a powerful rig to stream our races and they did more than deliver.
The capability to broadcast our shows in 1080p HD is a game changer from a business stand point and critical in securing future sponsors in our sport.
Chris Touchberry is GOOD people, and very much consider him a true friend! At this point, there is no one else I would trust with any tech situation!
Thanks for all your support for me and my league! And be sure to follow the upcoming Top Flight Computers AM Series!”
