TL;DR

Linus Tech Tips just wrapped up their ASUS-sponsored ROG Rig Reboot series with Tony as the first winner of a $5,000 dream gaming PC—complete with a Ryzen 7 9800X3D CPU and an Astral GeForce RTX 5080 GPU. Tony even flew in from the US to awkwardly assemble every premium component (from the Crosshair X870E Extreme motherboard to the ROG Hyperion case) on camera.

The video walks through each part (CPU, motherboard, storage, AIO cooler, PSU and peripherals), a quick off-camera break, and the anxious moment of “will it boot?” before capping it all off with a gaming test. If you love high-end PC builds and cringe-worthy awkwardness, it’s worth a watch.
