Cooler

For better CPU cooling performance, we are using the Thermalright Phantom Spirit EVO.

Motherboard

We're using a parametric filter for B650 and B650E ATX motherboards. Our compatibility and pricing engines will automatically select the best-priced motherboard that is compatible with the rest of the build.

Memory

For memory, we're filtering for the best-priced 2x16GB kit of DDR5 RAM with a heatsink. We've limited it to DDR5-6000 and faster speeds and CAS latency of 30 or lower.

Storage

We are using a parametric selection of well-reviewed 2TB NVME M.2 SSDs. Everyone's storage needs differ, so you may wish to select similar SSDs with different capacities or even adding in a mechanical HDD for larger storage needs.

GPU

Our GPU is AMD's Radeon RX 9070 XT. Consider pairing it with a high refresh rate and/or high resolution monitor to take full advantage of the card's capabilities. The parametric filter is set for the best-priced RX 9070 XT available, but feel free to click the "From parametric filter" link to browse our listing of all RX 9070 XT.

To keep the noise and temperatures down, we've the filter to includes a minimum length and a minimum of 2 fans to avoid "mini" versions of the card, which prioritize fitting into small builds, such as an ITX case. You can choose to use this filter instead, if you want to include the smaller cards for any reason. Note that smaller cards will be louder or hotter - or both.

Case

All of our components are housed in the Corsair 4000D Airflow. This case features an all black design with a tempered glass side panel and mesh front panel. It includes one front panel Type-A USB 3 port, one USB3 Type-C port, hidden PSU mount, and a number of cable management holes and tie-offs to help your build look tidy. The case can also comfortably fit full-sized video cards and large CPU coolers.

There are other options in white and black/brown as well.

PSU

Powering the build is a sparse selection of some of the most well-reviewed PSUs available - all without breaking the bank. All of them are certified 80+ Gold and fully-or semi-modular.
