Overall, NZXT cases are highly rated by reviewers & users alike, & are considered to be some of the best cases on the market.

Z Series Motherboard

Supporting up to 64GBs of RAM, & catering to up to 7.1 channel surround systems, & a bare minimum of 4x USB-A ports at the rear. These boards are designed for high-performance gaming & enthusiast PCs, offering a number of features not available on lower-end motherboards. Features including CPU overclocking, more PCIe lanes to support more expansion cards (GPUs for instance) as well as NVMe SSDs, better power delivery, & more connectivity support such as an increased number of USB ports, & better audio codecs.

CPU Cooling Solution: All-In-One (AIO) Liquid Cooler

120mm, 240mm, or 360mm: liquid cooling often provides the best cooling for your CPU to perform at its peak. If you consider that a 360mm is best used with an i9/U9/R9 CPU, then working backwards from there (so an i7/U7/R7 gets a 240mm, & i5/U5/R5 gets a 120mm) would roughly line up with our recommendation. Of course, going above what we recommend is also fine! In case you were worried, all our liquid coolers are pre-filled from the manufacturer, & aren't intended to be maintained or topped-up by us or end-users: set & forget so you can enjoy using the PC.
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 RTX 20 Series Graphics Card

While an RTX 20 series GPU may feel a little dated given the latest GPU releases, it really helped set the tone for gaming ever since: with the headlining real-time Ray Tracing & DLSS increasingly being featured in new game releases.

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.
