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?

Optical Drive

Have some old software, movies or albums you'd like to be able to use? Modern PC cases no longer come with internal mounting bays but external optical drives can be used instead. They plug in via USB when needed and can be unplugged and put away when not being used.

NoneCD/DVD External USB Reader/Writer

Chassis

Plenty of styles to suit any taste and need. Differences between the options to consider include dimensions, airflow, and I/O panel offerings

CPU Cooler

High core count pro/server grade CPUs like the Threadripper Pro series produce a lot of heat under sustained high loads. Entry level models can be adequately cooled with an air cooler but we recommend liquid cooling for mid and high end CPU options.

Fans

Your system already includes fans with various components. No extra fans are ever necessary but the following options are available for those who would like to swap them out for something else.

Stock Chassis & Cooler Fans

Hydraulic Bearing (HDB) PWM Fans

Premium Magnetic Bearing Fans

Ultra Quiet Ultra Durable Noctua A Series Fans

Ultra Quiet Ultra Durable Noctua Chromax Black A Series Fans

Fan sets include 5 units unless otherwise limited by chassis selection. Any existing chassis fans will be removed.

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.
