TL;DR

Linus sits down with Xavier, a Chicago newbie who’s already “built” a PC 1.5 times, to rescue his Frankenstein-style rig. Thanks to ASUS’s ProArt lineup (Z890 CREATOR WIFI motherboard, PRIME GeForce RTX 5080, 1200W Platinum PSU, LC 420 AIO, PA602 case, plus keyboard, mouse, headset and monitor), they tear apart every misstep—from upside-down components and bad cable management to questionable cooling—and rebuild it right.

After swapping in high-end parts and cleaning up the build, they put the new machine through the paces with Blender renders and gaming benchmarks, proving that even the messiest first attempts can turn into a smooth, high-performance setup with the right kit (and a little Linus guidance).
