The Best $10,000 Supreme Dream Creator Machine PC Build – September 2025

By Ari Altman | Published September 4, 2025 | Updated September 5, 2025

If 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!

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!

You’ll truly be on the cutting-edge with 8TB of ultra-extreme storage on board!

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.

The Ultimate Business Keyboard –
Logitech MX Mechanical Wireless Illuminated Keyboard
$160

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 perfect keyboard for the perfect workstation!

Its built-in battery will last up to 70 days before needing a charge, and the 4 can even track on virtually any surface, thanks to its highly-optimized 8000dpi sensor. And with haptic feedback, the 4 can connect you to your work more than any other mouse on the market.
