Linus and the LTT crew prove you can still build a $1,600 gaming PC entirely at MSRP—no scalper markup required. They pair an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X with an MSI B650-A WiFi motherboard, 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a 2 TB Acer Predator M.2 SSD, a Thermalright Frozen Notte AIO cooler, a Phanteks XT Pro case and an 850 W Seasonic Gold PSU.
On the graphics side they go with an ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 Ti (plus optional Arc and Radeon alternatives), benchmark the rig, then tally up the final cost—all while shouting out sponsors like War Thunder, Secretlab, PIA VPN and dbrand. It’s a solid parts list for anyone still hunting MSRP parts without breaking the bank.
