Design Rationale

  • The Ryzen 5 3600X gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for editing and gaming, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, air cooling with a single-tower cooler is recommended. A dual-tower cooler is more powerful, but not needed.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 32GB of RAM, with RGB as well.
  • 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, the customer wanted white.
  • We used our default fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.
