GeekaPC 'Ambience' (RX 9070 XT / RTX 5070 Ti)

The GeekaPC Ambience is a sophisticated system designed to strike a balance between performance and aesthetic. Handling the graphical horsepower in this PC is the RX 9070 XT, AMD's Radeon 9000 graphics card built to withstand 1440p or 4K gaming in the latest titles. Alternatively, for those looking to pick up a card from Team Green, the NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti is an excellent option offering high framerates across modern titles.

AMD's Ryzen 5 9600X is the brains of the Ambience GeekaPC build. This Ryzen 9000 option builds upon the success of previous generations' Ryzen 5 7600X by offering better efficiency, resulting in lower temperatures and higher clock speeds. Its low-power budget allows the Ryzen 5 9600X to maintain its 5.4GHz boost speed, giving it an edge in modern games.

Housing the components in this glorious system is the Fractal Design Meshify 3 Ambience Pro RGB. The front of this case offers an asymmetrical mesh design, providing plenty of airflow and assisting thermals. Around the front panel is a metal strip with a pearlescent sheen, with shifting tones of blue, green, and purple, depending on your viewing angle. The side panel on this case is tempered glass, providing an unrestricted window into the build, allowing you to view the parts inside.

For RAM, this build uses a reliable Corsair Vengeance DDR5 kit, offering great latency and speeds. Those looking to provide more oomph for their build can increase the RAM capacity from 32GB to 64GB.

Regarding storage, the Lexar NQ790/EQ790 is responsible for housing all of your games. This is one of the fastest Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSDs on the market, offering blazing-fast load and boot times. The base configuration of the Avalanche PC comes with a 1TB drive, but this can be increased to 2TB and 4TB for those who need a bit more space for their favourite games.

Lastly, powering this build is the Corsair RM750e power supply. This is a 750W unit, and it features a fully modular cabling system and Cybenetics Gold efficiency, ensuring minimal power is lost as additional heat or noise.

This build has a dedicated video on the GeekaWhat YouTube channel where the host, James Cousins, details the entire step-by-step process. He covers each component's pros (and cons), along with a suite of gaming benchmarks at the end, providing an idea of how this system performs.

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 9600X
The AMD Ryzen 5 9600X is a fantastic CPU for 1440p and 4K gaming when paired with the right GPU. With refinements to the AM5 platform, the Ryzen 5 9600X offers better efficiency, thermals and clock speeds compared to the previous generation Ryzen 5 7600X.

CPU Cooler: Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB
This sleek and stealthy dual-tower air cooler is more than ample to keep the Ryzen 5 9600X cool and quiet, with plenty of RGB to boot.

Motherboard: Gigabyte B850 Eagle WiFi6E
With strong connectivity, on-board WiFi and AMD EXPO support the B850 Eagle WiFi6E remains a firm favourite in our builds.

RAM: Corsair Vengeance DDR5
Corsair's range of RAM DIMMs provides a great option for builds powered by a TeamRed CPU. They offer better compatibility and reliability.

SSD: Lexar NQ790/EQ790
Both of these Lexar drives are excellent additions to any system. Read and write speeds surpassing 5 Gigabytes per second, they're reliable and resilient for high-framerate gaming!

GPU (Option 1): AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is an excellent graphics card offering performance that can outpace the RTX 5070 and RTX 5070 Ti. This GPU is a strong competitor at 1440p and has great legs at 4K too, especially when paired with FSR in supported games, excellent for modern titles.

GPU (Option 2): NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti
NVIDIA's RTX 5070 Ti is an excellent graphics card for 1440p and 4K gaming. It offers solid framerates across many titles, which can be further bolstered in DLSS-supported games.

Case: Fractal Design Meshify 3 Ambience Pro RGB
This case is a unique chassis with a pearlescent front panel, plenty of RGB lighting, and an asymmetrical airflow mesh assisting thermals across the board.

PSU: Corsair RM750e
