Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet: AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade

Linus and the LTT crew team up with AMD to drop a cool $5,000 on Robert Oakes’s setup—think a NAS rig powered by an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI Pro B550M-VC WIFI board, Jonsbo N5 case and a stack of 32 GB DDR4, plus custom storage, a Samsung soundbar, Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface and more. They walk you through every step, share DIY tips for squeezing max performance out of your AMD gear, and tackle the best way to wall-mount (or not) your brand-new powerhouse.

Of course, it wouldn’t be an LTT special without a few laugh-out-loud moments: unpacking Funko Pops, lightsabers, even a nostalgic VCR. With chapters on audio upgrades, storage builds, desk tweaks and “mfw no GPU,” you get product reviews, PC gaming accessories and a sneak peek at Robert’s budget collectibles haul—proving that sometimes the nerdiest parts of a build are the most fun.
