Design Rationale

  • The i7-13700K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for 1440p/120hz gaming and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a dual-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 and didn’t want last-gen tech.
  • The customer upgraded the main storage drive from 1TB to 2TB based on personal needs.
  • Based on the performance needs and budget, we recommended the RTX 3090 24GB.
  • The overall design of the build meant that a 1000W power supply was recommended.
  • We used a special mid-tower case to fit the build and give the customer a modern case with optical drive support.
  • We used our default fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
