Design Rationale

  • The i9-13900K gave the customer a great amount of single-core performance for modeling and gaming, and multicore performance for heavily-threaded tasks.
  • To ensure the CPU runs at full speed, liquid cooling with a 360mm AIO is recommended.
  • The customer wanted a stable motherboard with a good amount of desktop functionality.
  • The customer wanted at least 64GB of RAM, and didn’t want last-gen tech. 128GB is an easy upgrade
  • 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 1200W power supply was recommended.
  • We used our default mid-tower case to fit the build.
  • We used our high-end RGB fans to ensure proper airflow and static pressure.

Customer Review

After seeing another respected company owner in the industry deal with Chris, I decided to have him build my new PC. He carefully went through what my use would be for to tailor it to its best possible performance.

The process took around a month or so before I got my PC in via FedEx. Chris went above and beyond to make sure I was up and running the same night.

I would definitely recommend him to others looking for a high quality and performance gaming PC as well as for CAD work etc.
