The $1600 All-MSRP Gaming PC

Linus finally proves you can build a powerful gaming rig at MSRP without feeding scalpers—coming in right around $1,600. He walks through an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU cooled by a Thermalright 360 mm AIO, 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a 2 TB NVMe SSD, and an ASUS Prime RTX 5070 Ti, all housed in a Phanteks XT Pro Ultra case and powered by an 850 W Gold PSU.

Along the way he also showcases alternative GPUs (Arc B580, RTX 5060 Ti, RX 9070 XT), highlights total spend vs. advertised MSRP, and sprinkles in sponsor plugs for War Thunder, Secretlab chairs, PIA VPN, dbrand skins, and LTT merch.
