Previous feedback I got was the processor was old, the 64gb ram wasn’t enough, the motherboard was cheap and the Seagate hard drives I had selected were slow. Also they said the case was bad.

I appreciate the i9 13-900 24 core isn’t the very latest processor, but it still seemed decent.

Im struggling to see why an expensive mother board is particularly important, other than for modding, which I’m not really into. Same for the case, does it really matter if the case is expensive?

I’ve changed the hard drive selection from Seagate to Samsung, not sure if that makes a difference. I’ve upgraded 64gb ram to 96gb which seems decent.

please let me know any thoughts. Thankyou

Dear geniuses, I kindly request your knowledge if you would be so kind.

i want a high end gaming PC
i also want to use Abelton music software
I also want to use video making software
i was planning on using my 85” 4K LED tv as a monitor
i want to pay less than £3k

i created the below build, please criticise it.
I realise the components aren’t the very best out there, but they appeared good enough. I’m sure I’m probably wrong.
Please explain if and why a motherboard and case must be expensive. I don’t wish to get involved in modding.
Please explain if and why the HDD and SSD are slow.
please explain why the processor is old/hot. I thought i9 24 cores sounded pretty good!

thankyou for your time!

Looking now through this thread, you might be better having a read of this thread as it may answer some of your questions regarding why you were told:
