Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 5 9600X gave the customer a good amount of single-core performance for lightly-threaded workloads, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks. It also worked very well for the budget.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, a dual-tower cooler is recommended
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer agreed with our recommendation for 32GB RAM.
  • The customer mostly agreed with our storage recommendation, downgrading one drive to 1TB.
  • The customer requested an RTX 5060Ti 16GB.
  • We recommended a 850W power supply based on the overall design of the build.
  • We used our normal mid-tower case to fit the parts and give solid airflow.

Customer Review

“The process of determining what specs my computer needed was easy with Chris. He walked me through the process and built the computer quickly.

I would recommend anyone who is considering a high quality custom built computer to reach out to Top Flight.”
