The “Cost is No Object” Gaming PC!

If you’re looking to build the fastest, best-looking, 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 maximum performance you can get from a gaming PC using only the very best components available.

For years we aimed to hit a $10,000 budget with this build, but now that Nvidia has officially killed off its dual-GPU SLI technology, it’s actually hard to hit the $10K target. That means the Supreme Dream Machine currently clocks in just under $8,500, lucky you! Luckily, today’s best GPUs are so shockingly fast that you’ll never miss the passing of SLI, or the extra $1500-$2000 it would have cost you in GPUs!

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

For February 2023, this system offers the very best components you can find anywhere. It starts with Intel’s insane Core i9-13900KS 24-core, 32-thread beast that boosts up to an incredible 6.0GHz, making it the fastest CPU on the planet! The CPU is mounted on an ultra-premium Z790 motherboard and cooled by a massive 420mm AIO liquid cooler. In terms of the GPU, we suggest the only one that matters, the mighty GeForce RTX 4090 24GB, which offers simply shocking performance, beating the original 3090 by 70%. And for this build, we recommend a liquid-cooled model 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 super-responsive Samsung 990 Pro 2TB drive, the fastest M.2 drive ever. Of course, 2TB is not enough for a system of this caliber, so the 990 Pro is just the beginning. We also recommend dual 8TB PCIe Gen 4.0 drives, giving you a total of 18TB of insanely-fast capacity. For RAM, we go just as extreme, equipping this system with 64GB of cutting-edge DDR5-6800 CL34 RAM, offering the absolute maximum in terms of speed and capacity currently supported by modern motherboards. Powering this system is a be quiet! 1500W Titanium-rated power supply, and for the case, we go with the simply peerless Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO!
