    In a world where most of the time pc builders are just building gaming pc, Building a productivity pc is really helpful to figure out how much power we actually need for productivity tasks. It is much different from gaming requirements and thus creates these confusions around picking up the parts. Really helpful Build. ✨

    For future build videos it would be great to see a cost summary of the build at the time that you did it.
    Of course, price changes overtime, however, it would be insightful to see a segment addressing how much it cost at the time of the build and also compared to other options that are around the same total price (or even cheaper alternatives/suggestions). 😊

    Absolutely, more Productivity + Gaming PC build videos like this would be amazing! As a fellow architecture designer, 3D modeler, and gamer, I've been researching parts to build my first custom PC. But most build guides out there are focused solely on gaming performance, so it's hard to know if those same specs would be ideal for my mixed-use case.
    This video was super helpful and informative. I'm seriously considering following this exact parts list for my build! The only changes I might make are going with a different case that fits my personal style a bit more, and possibly swapping the RTX 4090 for a 4080 Super instead, just to bring the total cost down a little. Do you think all the other components you chose would still be compatible with a 4080 Super GPU?
    Seriously, thanks so much for putting this guide together with us productivity power users in mind. More content like this would be incredibly valuable and much appreciated! You've got at least one new subscriber here. Keep up the awesome work!

    I couldn’t imagine being able to build this. I had a hard time with the new Corsair 2500X case that came out a bit ago. It’s technically a mid tower case! It’s small form factor though. But having a project zero motherboard where all the cables are on the back made it so hard to do for me to manage all of it. The skill and patience you have is commendable.

    I even have one machine that has a hot swap m.2 on the back of the pc.

    For a case like that, i would probably just change 1 thing, tho it might not be that easy as it sounds -> go with 13/14th gen Intel i7 or i9... BUT with "T" variant (35W TDP locked) because of the additional hardware encoding/decoding in Intel iGPU for Premiere which mixed with AV1 supported card (which we have 4090 here so no problemo) would be like the best Video Editing rig in such a small form factor.
    And for gaming, since you would play 1440p/4k all the time, then lower clocked "T" CPU would not be really a handicapping problen
