Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet – $5,000 AMD-Powered Overhaul

We took Robert’s humble setup and went all-out with a $5K AMD-sponsored tech makeover: think a custom NAS for video editing built around an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI Pro B550M-VC WiFi motherboard, Jonsbo N5 case and tons of high-speed storage. You’ll get DIY PC-building tips, performance tweaks and a peek at the LTT screwdriver in action as we squeeze every ounce of power out of AMD’s gear.

But it’s not just about the rig—Robert’s entire workspace gets leveled up with streaming essentials (Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo interface), a Samsung Q800D soundbar, Yamaha HS5 monitors and more. We even unpack Funko Pops, lightsabers and a vintage VCR for those nerd vibes. Plus, don’t miss AMD’s spooky sweepstakes to win a Ryzen 9 9950X3D!
