Why this hardware
Built for 4K@144Hz with no compromises and headroom for the next 4-5 years. The 9950X3D handles games with heavy sims like Factorio, Stellaris, and modded Minecraft. The RTX 5090 is there for RT-heavy titles and streaming at the same time. 64GB of RAM because several hungry processes are usually running at once. And the custom water loop so this whole circus doesn't scream under load.
