Critical Update: if you actually want to start gaming on a new PC any time before Fall 2021, you have two options: go for one of the very few pre-built PCs still on the market, or build up a system using an older video card that you have on hand. That’s because GPUs are sold out worldwide due to the latest cryptocurrency mining crisis. We present both options in this guide. Based on current estimates, we believe that GPUs will not be available at retail prices until September 2021 at the earliest.

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, and we just round the price to $10,000, because if you have to ask if it’s a few hundred dollars more or less, well, this probably isn’t the build for you!

For June 2021, this system offers the very best components you can find anywhere. It starts with AMD’s Threadripper 3990X, a 64-core, 128-thread beast that’s simply so awesome at everything, it needs an OS to match, specifically Windows 10 for Workstations. That’s because it has literally gone beyond the capability that Microsoft envisioned when it created Windows 10 for home users! In terms of the GPU, you’ll want to go with the absolute best: an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 24GB video card, which offers an incredible leap in performance over the previous-gen 2080 Ti 11GB. The only problem – you can’t buy one! We anticipate that 3090s won’t return to retail shelves until Fall of this year.

In terms of storage, the Supreme Dream Machine features a 2TB PCIe 4.0 drive plus a 4TB PCI 3.0 drive, for a total of 6TB of insanely-fast capacity. For RAM, we go just as extreme, equipping this system with 128GB of DDR4-3600 RAM. Powering this system is a 1500W Platinum-rated power supply, and for the case, we go with Thermaltake’s sweet AH T600 (given its looks, you probably won’t be surprised to learn that the initials literally stand for “attack helicopter”!). Cooling this system’s CPU is a SilverStone 360mm AIO liquid cooler specially-designed for Threadripper, and cooling the case is a 3-pakc of ARGB fans, guaranteeing your system will be set to max out games for years to come and look good doing it! By the way, if you’re looking for the ultimate peripherals to use with this system, including the best gaming monitor ever released, just scroll down to the end of this guide.
