Crosshair VI Hero Asus $240 Asus’s Crosshair VI Hero provides a stable backbone for any would be early adopter looking to join the red core revolution.

Ryzen 7 1700 AMD $305 This is for the Twitch streamers, the pro gamers, and the video creators. Eight cores, 16 threads, stunning value.

GTX 1080 Ti Founder’s Edition MSI $673 The king of high end performanc­e right now. Don’t be fooled by its 11GB of VRAM, this will crush games at all resolution­s.

Kraken X62 NZXT $159 The Kraken is the culminatio­n of three of our favorite things: An infinity mirror, a 280mm radiator, and slick braided cooling.

Vengeance LED 32GB - 2666 Corsair $255 32GB of RAM is excessive for anyone gaming today. Use the excess either as a RAM cache, or for video editing in After Effects.

HX750i 80 Plus Platinum Corsair $150 Modular, custom cable kits, and a platinum efficiency rating. What’s not to love about this Corsair PSU? Nothing, that’s what.

Enthoo Evolv ATX TG Phanteks $175 The 5mm thick aluminium panels resonate with svelte profession­alism, and the interior makes building inside this a dream.

AGON AG271QG AOC $615 It’s a lot cheaper than Asus’s PG279QG, and we can’t tell why. 165Hz, IPS, G-Sync, 4ms response... this is the perfect screen.

K70 LUX RGB Corsair $130 Even when money is no object it’s hard to argue against Corsair’s latest K70. A no-fuss, solid piece of aluminium craftsmans­hip.

Rival 700 SteelSerie­s $72 Swappable sensors, back plates, 3D printed rear guards, and an OLED display. The most comfortabl­e, adaptive mouse we’ve used.
