TL;DR

Linus’s team drops $5,000 on AMD’s Ultimate Tech Upgrade, weaving in a Ryzen Threadripper 9000 CPU, Radeon AI PRO R9700 GPU, Threadripper motherboard, plus a Gigabyte RX 9070 XT. They overhaul a gaming PC, VR rig (Bigscreen Beyond 2 with eye-tracking, Valve Index innards), a racing sim (Fanatec CSL DD), and even a home theater with an LG C4 OLED—proving that high-end builds can still be “easy.”

Meanwhile, AMD is running a spooky-season sweepstakes for a shot at one of two mega bundles (Threadripper 9000, Radeon AI PRO R9700, the works). Dive into the build logs, chapter timestamps, and forum chatter on LinusTechTips.com to geek out on every step.
