Ultimate Choice System: I Became The Richest!

Nodding with a light chuckle, she said.

"It does! The parts must work in synergy. Otherwise, you will end up with an inefficient system that causes you to lag in games, and underperform heavily."

"Now, we need to move on to cooling. Considering the power of these parts, a liquid cooler would be the best option to prevent overheating and burning of your graphics card."

Amelia looked around, then picked up a sleek, RGB-lit liquid cooler.

"This one will keep the CPU running at a cool temperature, plus it will add some aesthetics to the build. What do you think?" She asked him for his opinion.

"Yeah, I agree. It will look great," Noah replied, nodding his head.

She giggled lightly, leading him to the next section— Storage.

"There are two types of storage, HDD and SSD. HDD is the type of storage my granddad would have been using in the early 90s. So we will opt out for the SSD." She chuckled, "I still can't believe people willingly buy HDD."

"It's like buying an old Nokia phone when you could buy an iPhone for the same price."

"Anyway, SSD is amazing for storage and its speed. It loads up games very quickly, and you will not have any issues with your PC being slow."

Picking up an SSD box, she said. " This 2TB NVME SSD should be plenty, and it's lightning fast."

"We can always add more storage later on anyway, so it's okay."

Noah's mouth twitched lightly.

"Are you sure you don't do this for a living?"

She chuckled, giving him a playful nudge.

"Hey! Are you calling me a nerd? It's just a hobby of mine." She pouted

But quickly forgot about it, as she spotted her next prey.

"Our next part is RAM, we'll go with 64 GB DDR5 to make sure you're set for any future games and updates. Although it's not necessary, you've got the money... so why not?" She chuckled, lightly.

"You are killing my pockets," Noah teased, as he opened the edge of his empty wallet.

He gave an exaggerated sigh, holding it open to reveal a few lone receipts and coins.

Sighing in exaggeration, he held it open to reveal a few coins and buttons.

"See that? It's all rumours that I'm rich. Reality proves otherwise."

She laughed at his little act and said.

"Alright, alright. I will pay for it, happy?" She chuckled.

"Sigh, it seems like I will just borrow some money from a friend of mine. I can't let you pick my parts and pay for them," He exaggerated.

She rolled her eyes at him, then proceeded to the final touches of the PC.

"Our next part is the case, It's important you get a case that is big enough for your PC. Since your graphics card is an RTXI 4090, we need a large case. Since the card is quite big, you don't want to damage it because the case is too small."

Noah picked a white case since it matched the aesthetics of everything else including the RGB.

"Good choice," She nodded her head as if she was proud of him for picking white.

After picking the case, Amelia chose a good motherboard and a few other things to finally finish the PC.

Looking at all the parts, Amelia nodded, a satisfied look on her face. "That's it! With this setup, you can run any game available in the market."

"It will also last you years to come, so consider it an investment."

"Thanks for the help, Amelia. I appreciate it," He flashed a light smile.

Blushing lightly, she joked.

"If you really appreciate it, you o-owe me some gaming time on this setup when it's ready." She stammered, feeling shy about the request.

Smiling at her, Noah nodded.

"Of course, that was my original plan, to begin with. You are my duo after all." He smiled.

"O-Okay, do you have the other parts of the set-up ready yet?"

Noah shook his head, in rejection.

"I do not, I was planning on asking you about that."

She nodded, her eyes darting a few aisles further.

"Okay, we will need to buy you a few things. Let's go." She gestured with her hand.

"First thing, let's buy you a monitor. Your PC is a monster, so the monitor should also be a monster in its own right."

"For the monitor, we are looking at two qualities, the resolution which is the pixels or how clear you can see it, and the hertz."

"Resolution is important for games that are heavily based on its graphics and such, like CyberBunk 2077 or RDR3. Hertz is important for competitive gaming, as it gives you an edge over the others since your game will be much smoother."

Noah nodded, he already knew this but he decided to let her enter the zone.

"She is enjoying herself," He thought.

After looking around for a while, she picked 2 monitors for him.

The first one was a 4k resolution monitor, with a lower refresh rate and the second one was a 1080p monitor but with 520hz.

"Unfortunately, technology is not advanced enough yet, to have both of these features in one monitor." She shrugged.

"So we just get both. Use each one for what it does best, and you'll have all the bases covered." She added, a small smile appearing.

Their next stop was the miscellaneous, Noah bought a mechanical keyboard, a large mousepad and a gaming mouse.

After settling everything, Noah went to the cashier to pay.

The cashier scanned each item, the total climbing higher and higher as the beeps continued.

"Beep. Item scanned."

Finally, with one last beep, the register displayed the damage. A number that felt like it could pay a month's rent in a luxurious apartment.

The cashier blinked, his voice struggling not to sound strangled. "That'll be…uh…" He cleared his throat, finally managing to get it out. "$8,783. Cash or card?"

The cashier stole a quick glance at Amelia watching the total with a knowing smile. The cashier clenched his jaw, forcing a polite smile as he imagined Noah's life.

A rich kid with a killer PC, a girl who broke the charts by his side, and not a care in the world except for how fast his games could run.

Glancing at the total, he muttered silently.

"If only I had Daddy's money too. Instead, all I got was that invisible bottle of milk he left to grab 25 years ago."

Noah handed over his card, not even a flicker of hesitation crossing his face. The cashier fought to keep the bitterness off his face as he swiped it, sighing inwardly.
