Building the Ultimate X870E Gaming PC - Ryzen 9 9950X3D + RTX 5090 + 64GB DDR5

In this video we build an overkill custom Gaming PC in today's insane economy. The build is based upon the AMD X870E chipset, which is the flagship chipset for the AM5 socket. For the CPU we chose the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D which is one of the best CPUs for gaming. For the GPU we went all out on an MSI GeForce RTX 5090 32G GAMING TRIO OC. It was very hard to source but it was one of the few models we could of gotten our hands on and it came directly from MSI! We made some unconventional choices in this build which is down right crazy, un-necessary and ridiculous at times. The case being one of them. We went with a Corsair 9000D RGB Airflow which is a Super Full-Tower case, one of the biggest cases you can purchase and it made the build interesting to say the least. If we were to do a Version 2.0 we would make some changes. Watch as we build this thing from top to bottom and sometimes struggle with some odd manufacturing and design choices by these obscure components. The build cost in total roughly past the $8,500 mark and that's not including accessories.
