Asus Chassis
Asus offers a great range of PC cases, providing something for everyone in terms of needs & budgets. Their cases are known for their bespoke designs - yet familiarity & user-friendliness, durability, & high quality. An Asus case will set your PC build apart from others without compromise.
Processor/CPU: Intel Alder/Raptor Lake
Intel's LGA 1700 socket (12th, 13th, & 14th gen processors) deliver Performance & Efficient-cores providing excellent performance with fantastic efficiency.
CPU Cooling Solution: Aftermarket Air Cooler
This cooling solution is a great choice for those with low-to-mid range CPUs, or those with cases that really amp up the airflow (up to i7/U7/R7 CPUs though).
An adequate CPU cooler ensures that your CPU can perform at or near its limit rather than leaving performance (that you've paid for) on the table.

Memory/RAM
Unless you're only using your PC for the most simple/basic of tasks, 16GB is our minimum recommendation for RAM, otherwise 8GB can scrape through for those on a tight budget. With 32GB+ of RAM widely accepted as being more than enough for typical gaming purposes, higher capacities can prove useful for those who run other apps/tasks while gaming, or for those who need their system to run content creation applications.
A general guide for editing videos the following is recommended: 1080p footage needs 64GB RAM, 4K needs 96GB, & 6K/8K/12K needs 128GB/192GB/256GB respectively.
While OC (high-frequency) RAM often unlocks more performance compared to the standard speed RAM, running RAM beyond what the CPU supports may create instability & reduce system reliability. This isn't to say it will always be the case, but it's worth keeping in mind that you might need to turn the RAM speed down if you begin experiencing difficulties.
Nvidia GeForce RTX 40 Series GPU
Expanding on the RTX 30 series: RTX 40 series is for gamers & creators, built on the Ada Lovelace architecture & AI-powered graphics. Nvidia's DLSS 3.5 continues to make high-resolution gaming a reality.

Primary Storage Drive: NVMe M.2 SSD
This is where your operating system gets installed, so it's great choice for a primary drive! Bringing some of the fastest speeds possible to your new system, an M.2 SSD bypasses the bottleneck that traditional SATA SSDs are restricted by meaning you've unlocked upto over 3,000% faster speeds than SATA SSDs offer, and upto over 9,000% faster than HDDs: nice one!
Power Supply Efficiency Rating
The power supply is the heart of your computer & its quality should never be compromised. 80 PLUS & Cybenetics are certification programs promoting high-quality & efficiency for computer power supply units.
When you buy an 80 PLUS certified power supply, you can be confident that it's built to last, using high quality components.
Minimum 50% Load Efficiency (230v): 80 Plus: 85% - Bronze: 88% - Silver: 90% - Gold: 92% - Platinum: 94% - Titanium: 96%
Cybenetics has a similar tier system for PSU ratings which also rate the noise levels of the power supply.
Overall Efficiency (230v): Bronze: ≥84% to 87% - Silver: ≥87% to 89% - Gold: ≥89% to 91% - Platinum: ≥91% to 93% - Titanium: ≥93% to 95% - Diamond: ≥95%
We only use the highest quality power supplies in our custom PCs.
