He Said It Would Be EASY – $5000 AMD Ultimate Tech Upgrade

Linus Media Group’s Senior Test Technician goes all-in with a $5K makeover powered by AMD: think Ryzen Threadripper 9000 CPU, Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU, a Gigabyte RX 9070 XT, plus an LG 77" C4 OLED for home theater. There’s also a Bigscreen Beyond 2 headset with eye-tracking, Valve Index VR setup, and a Fanatec CSL DD racing wheel—and they’re even running a sweepstakes to win one of two mega bundles.

From unboxing and “snooping around” to leveling the sim rig, hooking up VR, and calibrating the big-screen TV, the video walks you through every step (and hiccup) of this ultimate tech stack. If you’re dreaming up your next PC build, VR room, or sim cave, this upgrade is prime inspo.
