Guided practice: Maya's creator-gaming PC

Assignment140 pts
Practice a constrained example using BuildCores records. These fixed choices prepare you for the independent design simulation.

Practice activity

Maya needs a quiet, reliable creator-gaming PC for 4K class video projects, 1440p gaming, video calls, Wi-Fi, and several years of upgrades. Choose the best part in each category from the BuildCores options.

Scenario constraints

The design target is a balanced AM5 DDR5 system with Wi-Fi, 32 GB memory, 2 TB fast NVMe storage, a strong but not wasteful 1440p GPU, reliable power headroom, and an airflow case that remains serviceable.

  • Do not choose an Intel-only motherboard for an AM5 CPU.
  • Do not choose DDR4 memory for a DDR5 AM5 board.
  • Do not undersize the storage for 4K project files.
  • Do not choose a weak or low-quality power plan for a discrete GPU.
