Motherboard

Responsible for power delivery to the CPU and connectivity for all other components. We recommend pairing high end motherboards with high end CPUs, the default selection for mid-range CPUs & entry-level motherboards with entry level CPUs.

PSU (Power Supply)

As configured this system will draw a max of 0watts, we recommend a +100 watt buffer as power supplies run most efficiently at below 90% load. The Bronze/Gold/Platinum rating indicates AC to DC conversion efficiently (85%, 90% & 92% respectively). What is an ATX 3.x / PCIe 5.x PSU?

Networking

Some motherboards come with WiFi included and all come with wired ethernet. Wired (ethernet) is always best for speed & latency however if the selected motherboard does not include WiFi and Wired is not an option for you, you'll need one of the adapters below.

Sound Card

Motherboards already come with good integrated sound solutions, especially on higher end boards. However these dedicated sound cards are for those purists who need the absolute highest quality audio possible and have the top end speakers or headset to match.
