Rig for Little Sis'
This isn’t just a gaming rig—it’s a quiet powerhouse, a creative companion, and a testament to stewardship. It reflects values: performance without excess, elegance without flash, and readiness without waste.
Component | Choice | Why It’s Excellent |
---|---|---|
CPU | Ryzen 7 9800X3D | Top-tier gaming and multitasking, X3D cache for latency-sensitive workloads |
Motherboard | Gigabyte X870I AORUS PRO ICE | AM5, Mini-ITX, Wi-Fi 7, PCIe 5.0, premium VRMs |
RAM | G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL36 | Fast, low-latency, ideal for AM5 tuning |
GPU | RTX 4070 Founders Edition (Refurb) | Compact, efficient, excellent value |
Storage | Samsung 990 PRO 2TB | Elite Gen 4 NVMe, blazing fast, reliable |
Case | Fractal Design Terra (Graphite) | Aesthetic harmony, airflow-conscious, Mini-ITX elegance |
PSU | Lian Li SP850 SFX (White) | Fully modular, efficient, fits Terra perfectly |
Cooler | Thermalright AXP120-X67 | Low-profile, top-down airflow, fits Terra without mods |
Monitor | LG UltraGear 27" QHD 240Hz | High refresh, color-accurate, ideal for gaming and creative work |
This is what I think that makes this build special:
- Mini-ITX Mastery: Every part is chosen with spatial harmony in mind. Terra demands precision, and this build delivers.
- Balanced Power: 382W estimated draw on an 850W PSU means cool, quiet operation with headroom.
- Refined Aesthetic: Black-and-white contrast with subtle RGB (if any), leaning toward Raymond’s evolving minimalist taste.
- Future-Proofing: AM5, DDR5, PCIe 4.0, Wi-Fi 7—all ready for the long haul.
Thoughts to make her a little more value oriented? Or is she fine the way she is?
