Short story long.... Word got around that I used to do system builds a long long time ago and my name has been put forward and recommended by somebody I did a lot of work for way before the pandemic hit. (some i5 machine with a ATi 6850 or 70...)
Last build I done right near the end of the pandemic when a basic RTX3060 was almost £800 and that was for a friend whose computer blew up and was desperate enough to pay for said 3060.
Fast forward to a few days ago I was contacted by a guy who got my name and contact details from somebody I did a fair bit of work for. While Im happy I have been recommended. This guy went straight in and asked for a proper go big or go home build.... He wants an i9-14900k and wont take no for an answer. He's hellbent on dropping a massive wad of cash on a super computer even though I have advised him its probably 10 or 20x the computer that he needs.
But he's the one paying for it, so what he asks for, he gets - should I accept the job.
Now, I have NEVER done a super high tier build before and I worry that a 420mm AIO wont be enough to tame the i9 he's asking for. This will be his PC for doing a lot of radio work as he's an internet radio streamer so if i do accept the job. Whatever ends up in his hands has to be perfect or it reflects really badly on me if he keeps running into issues.
I really want to build the machine for him but just thinking about it is giving me anxiety. I know the i9-14900k is one hot boi.
Will the Artic Liquid Freezer III 420 be able to cope?
Ive told him i'll have a look into the parts/pricing and get back to him so I have a bit of time to think it over.
::EDIT::
Also - everything is going to be stock. Its not my machine so im not even going to tweak or tune it.
