The Best PC I Have Ever Built!
About this video
For his 2023 PC build, Chuck assembles a high-end machine for hacking, gaming, livestreaming and YouTube work and then, unusually, installs it in his cooled server room rather than at his desk, running display cables out to his monitors. The parts list centres on a ROG Maximus Z690 Formula motherboard with DDR5, 10 gigabit ethernet and Wi-Fi 6, 64 gigabytes of Corsair Vengeance RGB DDR5 5600 memory from two 32 gigabyte sticks, and two Samsung 990 2 terabyte SSDs rated at read speeds up to 7,450 megabytes per second and write speeds of 6,900 megabytes per second. He adds a 1200 watt power supply, an Nvidia 4090 Founders Edition graphics card, an NZXT Kraken X73 cooler, and swaps the Intel i9 processor for the special edition, a Raptor Lake chip described as 3 gigahertz with 24 cores. Benchmarking against his old PC, he reports a 3DMark result of almost 10,000 and a CPU result of 16,000, about 50% higher multicore performance and 43% higher single-core performance, 45% higher storage performance versus a Samsung 970 Evo Plus, and a 70 to 80% average GPU increase across three tests comparing a 3090 with a 4090.
