Memory is crucial for multitasking and future-proofing the system. The Corsair Dominator RGB 64GB kit not only offers ample capacity but also speeds up to 5200MHz. The white heat spreaders and RGB lighting add to the overall look of the build.

Storage 1: Crucial T705 1TB M.2 2280 NVMe GEN5 SSD
For the primary storage, we went with the Crucial T705 1TB Gen5 SSD. This ultra-fast NVMe drive ensures rapid boot times and swift loading of applications and games, enhancing the overall responsiveness of the system.

Storage 2: Crucial P3 Plus 2TB Gen4
As additional storage, the Crucial P3 Plus 2TB Gen4 SSD provides ample space for games, media, and other files. Its Gen4 speeds ensure that data transfer rates remain high, even with larger files.

Cooling: NZXT Kraken 360 RGB AIO CPU Cooler, White
To keep the CPU temperatures in check, we opted for the NZXT Kraken 360 RGB AIO cooler. Its triple-fan design ensures efficient cooling, while the RGB lighting and white finish complement the build’s aesthetics.

The Antec C5 White ARGB case offers excellent airflow and plenty of room for all components. Its sleek design and ARGB lighting allow for a visually stunning setup. The white finish ties everything together, making the build look clean and cohesive.

OS: Windows 11 Home retail USB drive HAJ00090
Finally, we installed Windows 11 Home. This latest OS from Microsoft provides a seamless gaming experience with features like DirectStorage and Auto HDR, further enhancing the overall performance.

The Build Process

Building this custom white gaming PC was an exciting journey. The assembly process started with carefully installing the CPU on the motherboard, followed by the RAM and the SSDs. Next, we mounted the motherboard inside the case, ensuring all connections were secure. The GPU installation followed, taking care to properly align it with the PCIe slot.

The NZXT Kraken 360 AIO cooler was then mounted, ensuring optimal placement for both aesthetics and cooling efficiency. Cable management was a priority, as we wanted to keep the interior clean and unobstructed for better airflow.

Once all components were in place, we powered up the system and installed Windows 11 Home. The first boot was a success, and after some initial setup and driver installations, the PC was ready for action.

Performance and Aesthetics

This custom white gaming PC not only performs exceptionally well but also stands out with its clean, modern look. The combination of high-end components ensures that it can handle any game or application thrown at it, while the white-themed design with RGB lighting makes it a centerpiece in any setup.
