Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 7 9800X3D gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for lightly-threaded workloads, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, and ensure that the CPU isn’t preheated by the GPU, a 240mm liquid cooler is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality, twin ethernet ports, and lots of  USB ports. We also picked a USB expansion card for extra ports.
  • We recommended 32GB RAM for the particular needs, more RAM is an easy upgrade for the customer to handle.
  • The customer agreed with our dual-drive storage recommendation.
  • We initially sold a RTX 5070, the customer decided to swap to an RX 9070XT to speed up the build time.
  • We recommended a 1000W power supply based on the overall design of the build.
  • We used our default larger mid-tower case to fit the parts and give solid airflow.
  • We used our high-end black fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
