Our Nerdiest Upgrade Yet: AMD $5000 Ultimate Tech Upgrade

Linus and the team team up with AMD to transform Robert Oakes’ setup into a spine-tingling, $5K tech extravaganza. They build a NAS rig with a Ryzen 7 5800XT, MSI B550M-VC WiFi board, Jonsbo N5 case, 32GB DDR4-3600, Gen4 NVMe SSDs and beefy cooling—perfect for video editing and massive storage.

But wait, there’s more! Robert’s desk gets a Sony FX30 camera, Focusrite Scarlett Solo audio interface, Yamaha HS5 monitors, Samsung Q800D soundbar—and of course some cheeky Funko Pops, lightsabers and a vintage VCR. Sprinkle in DIY tips, collectible hunts, AMD performance tweaks and a chance to win a Ryzen 9 9950X3D in their spooky sweepstakes, and you’ve got a nerdy feast for your tech soul.
