Dragon's Bloodstone: The Apex of PC Perfection

Enter the realm of the Dragon's Bloodstone, a system forged from the very essence of technological supremacy. This is not merely a computer; it's a digital monument, an embodiment of unbridled power and uncompromising performance. Here, where the boundaries of possibility are shattered, we present a machine that transcends the limitations of conventional computing.

At its heart beats the choice of three titans: the AMD Ryzen Threadripper PRO 7985WX, the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D, and the Intel Core i9-14900KS. Each CPU represents the absolute pinnacle of its respective platform, a testament to the relentless pursuit of processing perfection.

• The Threadripper, a colossus of computational might, with its unparalleled core count and memory bandwidth, is designed for the most demanding professional workloads, from complex simulations to intricate 3D rendering.

• The Ryzen 9 9950X3D, a gaming leviathan, with its advanced 3D V-Cache, pushes frame rates to the stratosphere, delivering an immersive, unparalleled experience.

• The Intel Core i9-14900KS, a speed demon, with its blistering clock speeds and raw processing power, ensures lightning-fast responsiveness and seamless multitasking, even under the most intense pressure.

These CPUs are paired with motherboards of equal stature: the ASUS Pro WS WRX90E-SAGE SE for the Threadripper, the ASUS ROG CROSSHAIR X670E HERO for the Ryzen 9, and the ASUS ROG MAXIMUS Z790 EXTREME for the Intel Core i9, each a masterpiece of engineering, designed to unleash the full potential of their respective CPUs.

Visuals are rendered with breathtaking realism by the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 or the formidable RTX 4090, both wielding 24GB of memory. To ensure long term reliability, and to remove any chance of liquid cooling leaks, the GPU's will remain air cooled.

• These GPUs, titans in their own right, deliver unparalleled ray tracing, AI-enhanced graphics, and raw horsepower, transforming digital worlds into living, breathing realities.

Memory is abundant and swift: 128GB of ECC Registered DDR5 6000MHz for the Threadripper, ensuring unwavering stability for critical workloads, and 64GB of DDR5 7200MHz for the Ryzen 9 and Intel Core i9, delivering lightning-fast data access for gaming and content creation.

Storage is abundant and reliable, with two Samsung 990 Pro 2TB NVMe PCIe 5.0 SSDs, one dedicated to the operating system and applications for lightning-fast responsiveness, and the other for high-speed storage. Two Western Digital Black SN850X 4TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSDs provide ample space for games, media, and projects, ensuring both speed and data integrity.

Power is delivered with unwavering stability by the Seasonic PRIME TX-1600 or be quiet! Dark Power Pro 13, both 1600W 80+ Titanium-certified PSUs, ensuring that every component receives the clean, consistent power it demands.

All of this raw power is housed within the Phanteks Enthoo 719, or the Corsair 1000D Airflow, both are cases that combine form and function in perfect harmony, offering exceptional airflow, modularity, and a visually stunning design.

Cooling is paramount, and the Threadripper build features a custom water-cooling loop, designed to tame the heat of the CPU, ensuring optimal performance and whisper-quiet operation. This loop includes a high quality CPU water block, two radiators (360mm and 420mm), a pump/reservoir combo, high quality tubing and fittings, premium coolant, and high performance fans. The Ryzen 9 and Intel Core i9 builds are cooled by the Corsair iCUE H170i Elite LCD XT 420mm AIO, a liquid cooler that delivers exceptional thermal performance.

Eight 140mm high-performance fans, strategically placed throughout the case, create a hurricane of airflow, keeping every component running at its peak.

The Dragon's Bloodstone is more than just a PC; it's a statement, a testament to the pursuit of perfection. It's a system that empowers you to create, explore, and conquer, without limits.

• The Threadripper configuration, running Windows 11 Pro for Workstations, is a digital workstation, designed for professional content creation, and data analysis.

• The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Intel Core i9-14900KS configurations, running Windows 11 Home, are gaming powerhouses, designed to deliver the most immersive, and high-performance gaming experience.

With a $150 build fee, and the cost of the operating system added into the final price, you are getting the best of the best. This is the Dragon's Bloodstone, where performance knows no bounds.

Going the route of Threadripper is a custom water-cooling configuration using higher quality parts, and will increase the price by around $1100, Added to a base price of $10,000, Plus your choice of a GPU “Upgrade”, Choosing between a 4090 or a 5090 on any config, a 5090 adds $500, due to market conditions. A breakdown of the water-cooling costs and parts will be at the bottom of the specs list.
