The $1,600 All-MSRP Gaming PC Rundown
Linus walks you through a no-scalper build that clocks in around $1,600 using all MSRP parts. You get an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X cooled by a Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 ARGB AIO, 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a 2 TB Acer Predator M.2 SSD, and ASUS PRIME GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16 GB inside a Phanteks XT Pro Ultra case—powered by a Seasonic FOCUS GX 850 W Gold PSU. There are also optional GPUs (Arc B580, RTX 5060 Ti, RX 9070 XT) and a beefy 1 kW Super Flower PSU if you want to mix things up.
All told, it’s a solid ready-to-game rig that avoids the inflated prices—but fair warning, RAM costs are on the rise again, so you might want to snooze on your purchase if you can.
