TL;DR

Linus Media Group and AMD join forces for a $5,000 “ultimate upgrade” makeover of Robert Oakes’ setup. They build a high-performance NAS for video editing (featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI B550M board, Jonsbo N5 case and loads of SSDs), overhaul his streaming/desk rig with a Focusrite Scarlett Solo, Yamaha HS5 monitors, Samsung soundbar and sleek camera gear, and share DIY tips for squeezing max performance out of AMD parts.

Beyond the serious tech, expect plenty of nerdy fun—unboxing Funko Pops, lightsabers and even a vintage VCR—plus product reviews, budget-vs-premium debates, and Linus’s trademark humor throughout the build.
