The $1600 All-MSRP Gaming PC

Linus and the LTT crew prove you can dodge scalper gouging with a fully MSRP-priced $1600 build: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, MSI B650-A WIFI mobo, 32 GB DDR5-6000, a 2 TB M.2 SSD, ASUS RTX 5070 Ti (plus a couple of bonus GPUs for testing), Phanteks XT Pro case, Thermalright Frozen Notte AIO, and a Seasonic Gold PSU. They walk through each part, tally the final cost, and throw some games at it to see how it performs.

Packed with affiliate links, sponsor shout-outs (War Thunder, Secretlab, PIA, dbrand) and merch plugs, the description also includes a handy chapter timeline to skip straight to your favorite segment (CPU, RAM, GPU, etc.) and a forum link for extra banter.
