Linus and the team walk you through building a $1,600 gaming rig using only MSRP-priced parts—no scalper premiums here. The spec sheet features an AMD Ryzen 5 9600X CPU, MSI B650-A WiFi motherboard, 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, a 2 TB Acer Predator M.2 SSD, a Thermalright Frozen Notte 360 AIO cooler, a Phanteks XT Pro Ultra case, an 850 W Seasonic Gold PSU, and an ASUS GeForce RTX 5070 Ti GPU (with a few GPU alternatives sprinkled in).
Along the way they break down each component, reveal the final tally, and even slot in chapter markers for easy navigation—from the CPU deep-dive to “What did it actually cost?” and some in-game footage. There’s also a forum link if you want to geek out with the community and plenty of affiliate and sponsor shoutouts if you’re ready to grab the exact gear.
