ADVANCED BUILD
Go above and beyond with a PC powerful enough to end worlds
MEG X670E Ace MSI $699
There are cheaper X670 boards than this, but we’re going extreme and this is one of the most fully featured around.
Ryzen 9 7950X3D AMD $682
AMD’s 3D stacked chips are awesome for gaming, thanks to heaps of cache. This Ryzen 9 is the best of the bunch
GeForce RTX 4090 Founders Ed Nvidia $1,660
The RTX 4090 is immense, in every way. The performance it offers is unmatched by any GPU out there.
Kraken X63 NZXT $170
One of the most stunning AIO coolers rebuilt with an updated pump, LGA 1700 bracket, and RGB lighting for more pizzazz.
Trident Z5 RGB 32GB G.Skill $110
This is a new memory standard for a new era of memory speed. DDR5 is blisteringly and fantastically quick.
Prime TX-1000 Seasonic $310
An ATX 3.0 PSU would also be good here, but we’ve tested this Seasonic and know it’s worthy of such a build.
WD Black SN850X 2TB Western Digital $120
We’re sticking with PCIe 4.0 here, and WD makes a mean PCIe 4.0 SSD. The SN850X is its best to date, and 2TB is plenty.
NM790 4TB Lexar £189
With 4TB of storage, it’s going to take one seriously big Steam library to get anywhere close to filling this drive up.
5000D Corsair $155
We swear this stylish mid-tower is bigger on the inside. It’s the PC equivalent of the TARDIS.
34 QD-OLED (AW3423DWF) Alienware $1,099
You could be much more sensible on your screen than this. For this build, however, we only want the best.
ROG Azoth Asus $240
This keyboard’s secret? Lubed switches. Don’t knock it until you’ve tried it. It’s also wireless and very well made
DeathAdder V3 Pro Razer $150
With a lengthy battery life and a phenomenal sensor to keep you gaming at your best, the G502 is undoubtedly one of the finest.
Cloud Alpha Wireless HyperX $155
If you’ve settled on a wireless keyboard and mouse, the last thing you want is a pesky cable to your headset.
