This Prime Day season has been a target-rich environment for putting together great PC builds at great prices. We’ve already builta 1440p gaming rigwith a Ryzen 7 7800X3D anda surprisingly awesome sub-$800 buildthat still manages to squeeze in a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB.
Now it’s time to turn our attention to the high end. Amazon has discounts running on theEditor’s Choice-winningRyzen 9 9950X3D CPU, and B&H is still discounting the PNY Epic-X ARGB RTX 5090to just $2649 right now. With those discounts at hand, we set out to put together a parts list fit for a king—or at least one fit for CEOsof companies with $4 trillion market caps.
When you’re spending $5000 on a PC, you generally have to be particular about the workloads you expect it to run, but this system really can do it all. You can enjoy high-refresh-rate gaming at your leisure with the one-two punch of an RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, then turn around and crush productivity or coding work with 16 cores, 32 threads, and 96GB of DDR5-6000 RAM. 4TB of SSD storage and an ROG Strix X870-A motherboard absolutely bristling with high-speed USB ports ensure that you’ll never be kept waiting.

All-Time Low Price!
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D can do it all. With 16 cores, 32 threads, and a 96MB helping of L3 thanks to AMD’s 3D V-Cache technology, this processor is as proficient for games as it is for productivity.
be quiet!’s Light Loop 360mm CPU cooler is on discount this Prime Day, and it’s a great choice for this godlike build thanks to its prodigious cooling power.
Asus' ROG Strix X870-A has all the high-speed ports, slots, and wireless networking we want in a kingly build. It’s a steal at just $259 right now thanks to Prime Day discounts.
The GeForce RTX 5090 is the king of gaming graphics cards, but prices usually demand a royal treasury to finance the privilege.This PNY GeForce RTX 5090 still isn’t cheap, but B&H’s 12% discount is a better offer than most we’ve seen involving rebates or gift cards from other retailers. $2649 is one of the lowest prices we’ve seen for this class of card, too.
G.Skill’s Ripjaws M5 Neo 96GB DDR5-6000 kit isn’t on sale, but it’s a great price for a massive DDR5 kit in white (to match the rest of our parts). 6000 MT/s EXPO speeds are a great match for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D.
The Western Digital Black SN8100 is one of the fastest PCIe 5.0 SSDs we’ve tested, and its massive 4TB capacity will give you plenty of room for games, photos, videos, and anything else that needs non-volatile storage.
To cool an RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, you need a roomy case with great airflow and plenty of space for a 360mm CPU cooler. That’s just what the iCUE 5000D Airflow provides. Its sharp white look, included fans, and spacious interior make it a great match for this build.
To power everything in this system, we turn to Corsair’s HX1500i (2025) fully modular PSU. This beast of a unit has the capacity to run everything in this system flat-out, all at once, with headroom to spare. Its massive fan and 80 Plus Platinum efficiency ensure that things should stay cool and quiet, too.
With gobs of CPU and GPU power, a clean white theme, RGB LEDs aplenty, a roomy, stylish case, and a rock-solid power supply, we think it’s hard to do much better than this build for the deep-pocketed enthusiast. Sure, you’re able to start looking at Threadripper CPUs and RTX Pro 6000 graphics power if you need even more compute on tap, but that’s truly territory for those who already know.
We’re in the final hours of Prime Day, so if these top-of-the-line components strike your fancy, hop on these discounts before they disappear.
