Design Rationale

  • The i7-8700K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for gaming and editing, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-tower is recommended. The customer preferred liquid cooling with an RGB 240mm AIO for visual appeal.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM.
  • The customer requested a 500GB SSD for OS, 1TB SSD for main storage, and 1TB HDD for bulk storage.
  • We recommended the RTX 2070 for gaming and editing performance.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 650W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our default white mid-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our default fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

“I commissioned Chris to build Synergy to fit my video editing and illustration needs. Chris was able to come up with a great build. He was very knowledgeable, professional, and all around great to work with.

I would recommend him to anyone looking to build a computer, especially if you want a custom build and you don’t know where to start. I will definitely be using Top Flight Computers for all my future PC needs!”
