The $1600 All-MSRP Gaming PC

Ever wanted a no-scalper-price build that actually performs? Linus and the team threw together a sweet rig for about sixteen hundred bucks, packing an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X, DDR5-6000 32 GB of RAM, a 2 TB M.2 SSD, and an ASUS RTX 5070 Ti GPU, all at MSRP—yes, you read that right. They even tossed in a sleek Phanteks case, a 360 mm AIO cooler, and an 850 W Gold PSU to keep things chill.

Sure, RAM prices are still wild, but everything else is surprisingly reasonable. Whether you’re chasing 1440p high refresh or dabbling in 4K, this build shows you don’t have to break the bank (or fight bots) to game like a boss.
