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 around $7,500, lucky you! And thanks to the shocking speed of the RTX 4090 GPU we recommend, you won’t miss SLI at all, but you’ll certainly appreciate the extra $1500 in GPUs it used to cost to get world-beating performance!

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

For August 2023, this system offers the very best components you can find anywhere. It starts with Intel’s Core i9-13900K 24-core, 32-thread CPU, the best all-around CPU on the planet. It can match AMD’s 7950X3D in gaming, while offering far better multi-threaded performance, and also provides a lot more overclocking support. The one downside is much high power consumption, but this system has a gargantuan power supply, so that’s not going to be an issue! 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 last-gen 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 a cutting-edge 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 DDR5-6400 CL32 RAM, offering the absolute maximum in terms of speed and capacity on the market today. Powering this system is the aforementioned massive power supply, a 1600W Titanium-rated model, and for the case, we go with the peerless Cooler Master HAF 700 EVO!
