Welcome to the Supreme Dream Machine!

If you’re looking to build the most amazing PC on the planet regardless of budget, then this is the one for you! Unlike TBG’s other builds, this one isn’t even remotely about performance per dollar. The one and only goal here is to show you the finest gaming gear you can put into a gaming PC.

Now for a bit of background: for years we aimed to hit a $10,000 budget with this build, but given that Nvidia officially killed off its dual-GPU SLI technology, it’s actually hard to hit the $10K target. And truth be told, you’ll get exactly the same gaming framerates with our $5,000 Dream Machine Gaming PC Build. So what do you get with this “Supreme” build? That’s simple: over double the SSD storage (enough for any game collection), an even dreamier case , a more efficient, higher-capacity power supply, and a more powerful cooler. All things you don’t really need, but you know you want! And this all clocks in at the lowest price we’ve ever had for our Supreme Dream Machine, under $7,500, so you’re getting supreme performance on a budget, lucky you!

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

For September 2024, we were expecting to recommend AMD’s new 9000-series, but it simply doesn’t deliver in terms of gaming. That means we stick with AMD’s Ryzen 9 7950X3D, a 16-core, 32-thread CPU that is the best all-around CPU on the planet. While Intel has tried to compete using high-voltage versions of its older CPU design, the this has led to widespread crashing and CPU failures, so we’re saying goodbye to Intel for gaming until further notice! Just as important, AMD’s CPU is coupled with an advanced motherboard that will support years of CPU upgrades down the line, providing far more future-proofing than Intel. In terms of the GPU, we suggest the only one that matters, the mighty GeForce RTX 4090 24GB, which offers simply shocking performance, a full generation ahead of any other GPU ever released. And for this build, we recommend a liquid-cooled model with a huge 240mm radiator to get the most boost and ensure all heat is exhausted out the rear, eliminating heat buildup inside the case.

In terms of storage, the Supreme Dream Machine goes all out, equipped with the cutting-edge T705 4TB Gen 5 drive from Crucial, the fastest M.2 drive you can buy. Of course, 4TB is not enough for a system of this caliber, so this is just the beginning. We also recommend dual 8TB PCIe Gen 4.0 drives, giving you a total of 20TB of insanely-fast capacity. For RAM, we go just as extreme, equipping this system with 128GB of DDR5-6000 RAM, offering the absolute maximum speed you can get in this ultra-high capacity configuration. Powering this system is a gargantuan 1600W Titanium-rated model, keeping the CPU cool is a massive 420mm liquid cooler from Corsair, and for the case, we go with the peerless Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO!
