Why this hardware
Built for 4K@144Hz no compromises with headroom for the next 4-5 years. 9950X3D — for games with heavy sims (Factorio, Stellaris, modded Minecraft). RTX 5090 — for RT-heavy games and concurrent streaming. 64GB RAM — because multiple heavy processes are often running at once. Custom water-cooling — so this whole circus doesn't scream under load.
