At the forefront of this gorgeous white PC build handling all of the graphical power is none other than the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT. This 16GB GPU is well-equipped to handle 1080p and 1440p gaming at high settings. Alternatively, those looking for an NVIDIA option can choose the RTX 5060, an 8GB card primarily aimed at 1080p gaming, with great legs in 1440p.
Coming well equipped in the CPU department with a six-core, 12-thread AMD Ryzen 5 9600X Processor, the CPU for this build makes a perfect partner for either GPU offering at 1080p or 1440p.
The UpHere up1KC4 keeps the Ryzen 5 9600X cool. This is a single tower air cooler with a strip of RGB down the middle, and should be ample to keep the Ryzen 5 9600X from throttling.
Housing this gorgeous PC build is the Lian Li Vector V100R. This is a mid-tower chassis with an angular glass design, with two panels showcasing the components within. A small strip of RGB lines the glass around the case, and four additional fans provide plenty of extra RGB lighting and airflow around the case. It has a unique tool-less design and excellent cable management options.
For RAM, this build uses a Lexar THOR Z RGB DDR5 kit, rated at 32GB (2 x 16GB). This memory is incredibly reliable and offers a solid speed and latency.
Regarding storage, the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 has returned. This build uses 1TB for the base configuration, but there are 2TB and 4TB capacities available for gamers who need more storage space.
Power this system is the Corsair RM750e White. This is a modular power supply offering 750W of juice for all of your components. This is a great PSU for this awesome white build.
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.
