RM52If you’re looking to build the most amazing PC for $10,000, then this is the one for you! First a bit of background: for years this was a gaming-focused guide, but once Nvidia killed off its dual-GPU SLI technology, there wasn’t much to do with a $10K budget. But if you’re a creator, AI researcher, data scientist, software developer or serious hobbyist, you can easily soak up a $10K target. So after years of the Supreme Dream Machine being a Gaming PC, it became a Creator PC!

If you’re looking to game, check out our $5,000 Dream Machine, as it maxes out gaming performance. The Supreme Dream Creator Machine is something else entirely – while it can game, what it’s actually designed for is creating the games, and everything else. It’s the ultimate Creator PC for under $10,000!

This Month’s Build, Featuring AMD’s and Nvidia’s Finest!

For September 2025, the Supreme Dream Creator Machine starts with the app-crushing AMD Threadripper 9970X 32-core, 64-thread CPU, paired with the excellent TRX50 Sage motherboard from Asus. In terms of the GPU, we suggest the only one that matters, the mighty GeForce RTX 5090 32GB, an absolute beast in every way, offering enormous processing power. For this system, we recommend a liquid-cooled model, so the 600W of heat this monster generates doesn’t dump straight into your case!

In terms of storage, the Supreme Dream Machine goes all out, equipped with the cutting-edge Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB Gen 5 drive , the fastest 8TB SSD you can buy. For RAM, we go just as extreme, equipping this system with 128GB of DDR5-6400 R-DIMM memory, offering tremendous capacity and incredible bandwidth when paired with the CPU’s quad-channel memory support. Powering this system is a gargantuan 1600W Titanium-rated model, keeping the CPU cool is a massive 360mm liquid cooler specially designed for Threadripper, and for the case, we go with a rack-mountable workstation chassis from SilverStone!

The DIY Build

  • CPU

    AMD Threadripper 9970X

    $2500
    AMD has owned the productivity crown for years, and its 9970X opens up the next-generation of content creation performance. Offering up 32 cores, 64 threads, and per-core efficiency that easily beats Intel, it’s simply way ahead of anything else that’s come before it.

    The Guru’s Tip

    Yes, there is a 64-core version of this CPU, the 9980X, but at over twice as much, it would bust our $10K budget. Feel free to grab it if 64 cores is what you need!

  • Motherboard

    ASUS Pro WS TRX50-SAGE WIFI

    $900
    With this board, you get everything and then some. That includes an amazing 36 power stages, three PCIe Gen 5 slots plus two Gen 4 slots, three M.2 slots (two being Gen 5), nine USB ports (including a Type-C 20Gbps port), 10Gbps LAN, and WiFi 7 networking.

    The Guru’s Tip

    Remember, this is a dedicated Threadripper board - standard AMD AM5 boards will not work.

  • Video Card

    MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G SUPRIM Liquid SOC

    $3000
    Hail to the king! The absolutely mind-blowing RTX 5090 32GB goes beyond extreme, beating the legendary RTX 4090 by 30%, an incredible gen-on-gen leap in performance. And this model from MSI absolutely blows the competition away, thanks to the pre-mounted liquid cooler, complete with an  absolutely-massive 360mm radiator!

    The Guru’s Tip

    You'll be mounting the radiator up front, stacked next to the CPU's radiator. Thanks to an offset built into the case, they can both be set to intake and get their own fresh air.

  • Memory

    G.SKILL T5 Neo 4x32GB DDR5-6400 CL32

    $900
    What’s that you say? You want to go for maximum overkill? OK, let’s go for 128GB then! These workstation-class R-DIMMS are rated at 6400MT/s CL32-39-39-102, allowing for simply amazing performance when used on a quad-channel Threadripper setup.

    The Guru’s Tip

    Make sure not to substitute in standard DDR5 RAM. It will not work in the motherboard we recommend.

  • Solid-State Drive

    Samsung 9100 Pro 8TB PCIe Gen 5

    $1000
    For primary storage in a truly elite system, you don’t just want high-end, you want cutting-edge, and that means going Gen 5 on your SSD. Samsung has this category practically locked up with the 9100 Pro, which belts out an impressive 14,800MB/s in sequential read and 13,400MB/s in sequential write, making it about 50% faster than the best Gen 4 drives. You’ll truly be on the cutting-edge with 8TB of ultra-extreme storage on board!

    The Guru’s Tip

    This massive, ultra-fast drive will get you set up right, but feel free to add up to two additional M.2 drives, or a number of internal SATA drives for deep storage.

  • Case

    SilverStone RM52

    $532
    This stylish, professional case is the perfect option for a serious workstation-class PC, thanks to its cavernous interior, multiple configuration options, and classy exterior. It includes dual 80mm fans and a 140mm fan in the rear, and fits up to two 360mm radiators in the front. It can be mounted vertically like a typical tower, or rackmounted with the separately available RMS05-22 ball-bearing rail kit.

    The Guru’s Tip

    This case will give you the flexibility to mount your workstation the way you see fit.

  • Power Supply

    Seasonic Prime TX-1600

    $557
    When it comes to power supplies, there’s Seasonic and then there’s everything else. Designed to be a showcase of the future, Seasonic’s top model offers tremendous Titanium-rated efficiency, 1600W of effortless power, a 135mm fluid dynamic bearing fan, and a semi-passive mode that only runs that fan at over 800W of power draw. And of course, it’s ATX 3.1 and PCIe 5.1 compliant, featuring modern 12V-2×6 connector for safely powering the highest-end Nvidia graphics cards.

    The Guru’s Tip

    The CPU and GPU in this system together will draw close to 1000W at maximum load, which means this massive PSU will be put to good use! But just as important is the quality - the advanced design is second to none!

  • CPU Cooler

    Silverstone XE360-TR5

    $413
    If you want to push your Threadripper to the limit, you absolutely need serious cooling capability, and that means nothing less than high-end liquid. This cooler is equipped with a huge 360mm radiator and three powerful but quiet 120mm fans, meaning it’s more than a match for even a beast of a CPU! And the most important component is the huge Threadripper-sized cold plate, which makes it uniquely suited to pulling as much heat as possible off of a multi-core monster!

    The Guru’s Tip

    Mount the radiator for this cooler up front, stacked next to the GPU's radiator. We recommend that the GPU radiator be mounted closest to the front, with the CPU rad on the interior side.

  • Operating System

    Microsoft Windows 11 Pro Flash Drive @Newegg

    $199
    Windows 10 one of Microsoft’s most successful and respected operating systems in history, and Windows 11 just builds on its strengths. The Pro version provides the best security, along with compatibility with the highest-end configurations!

    The Guru’s Tip

    Windows 11 Pro is required to take advantage of 32-core or higher-core CPUs.

Optional Products

  • The 38-inch Ultra-Wide Productivity Monitor

    LG 38WR85QC-W

    $1197
    With a massive resolution of 3840×1600 and a highly-curved 38″ panel, this ultra-wide from LG is the perfect productivity monitor. It can easily support viewing three standard-sized windows side-by-side. For a lot of use cases, that’s much better than a 4K monitor, which has the same horizontal resolution spanned across a much shorter width, making it harder to see. This model also has USB Type-C with 90W power delivery, which is perfect for connecting to a laptop for both video and charging.

    The Guru’s Tip

    This is the perfect monitor for a serious creator!

  • The Ultimate Business Keyboard

    Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Keyboard

    $157
    Logitech has cooked up the ultimate productivity keyboard with its MX Mechanical. As the name suggests, you’re getting genuine mechanical switches for responsiveness that’s leagues ahead of rubber dome switches. Logitech has selected a low-profile switch, which keeps the profile of the keyboard slim and cuts down on excess travel to make the keys feel even faster. That alone would be enough, but Logitech has also amazingly designed the MX Mechanical to be both illuminated and wireless. The built-in battery will hold a charge for up to 15 days when illuminated, and up to 10 months with the backlighting off. Basically, you can have it your way: run it with the USB-C cable connected for non-stop illumination, go fully wireless and plug in ever few weeks, or shut off the lights if you don’t need them and go wireless for nearly a year! Of course, you still get multiple connection options, including the advanced Bolt USB receiver or Bluetooth Low Energy, plus Logitech’s unique Flow  system for running on 3 systems simultaneously!

    The Guru’s Tip

    The perfect keyboard for the perfect workstation!

  • The Deluxe Wireless Mouse

    Logitech MX Master 3S

    $110
    Nothing can bog you down faster than a mouse tangled up on its cord. So we strongly recommend a wireless mouse, but not just any wireless mouse – the MX Master 3S from Logitech has an incredibly comfortable profile, ideal for use all day long, along with the most innovative scroll wheel ever to make its way onto a mouse. Its built-in battery will last up to 70 days before needing a charge, and the 3S can even track on glass, thanks to its highly-optimized 8000dpi sensor!

    The Guru’s Tip

    You can't do better than the MX Master 3S, until Logitech one-ups itself again with an even better productivity mouse!

  • The Ultimate Gaming Headset

    SteelSeries Arctis Nova Pro Wireless

    $293
    Combining audiophile reference-grade performance with incredible versatility, this wireless headset from Arctis is the finest gaming headset on the market! It features 360-degree Spatial Audio for immersive surround sound, active noise cancellation for the headphone to keep out ambient noises, plus AI-powered noise cancelling for the microphone for the clearest comms. Its breakout control box allows you not only to connect two devices at once via USB or Bluetooth, it also lets you listen to both simultaneously, so you can take calls or listen to music from your phone while gaming.  Finally, the Infinity Power System allows you to how-swap the battery without shutting down!
