GeekaPC 'Flux' Gaming PC

The GeekaPC Flux is a stunning gaming PC that targets 1440p gaming and has strong legs at 4K too. All the parts are housed inside the Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2, a compact dual-chamber case with pillar-less tempered glass and five pre-installed fans. Gamers can choose between the AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT, NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti and RTX 5080 GPUs, all highly capable cards for buttery smooth gaming.

AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D is the brains of the Flux GeekaPC build. This eight-core chip remains one of the most sought-after gaming CPUs around thanks to AMD's 3D V-Cache technology, which stacks a huge 96MB of L3 cache onto the processor. That extra cache keeps game data closer to the cores, delivering frame rates that punch well above what the 5.0GHz boost clock would suggest, all while staying efficient at 120W.

The Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB ensures the Ryzen 7 7800X3D remains cool. This 360mm liquid cooling unit is equipped with three Thermalright fans. Each fan lights up with vibrant RGB too.

Handling the platform side of things is the Gigabyte B850M Eagle WiFi6E, a firm favourite in our builds. The B850 chipset takes the 7800X3D in its stride and brings everything a capable gaming system needs without unnecessary cost overhead, including AMD EXPO memory profiles, on-board Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3.

The Lian Li O11 Dynamic Mini V2 houses all of the parts in this PC build. It's the compact sibling of the ever-popular O11 Dynamic and a firm favourite on the GeekaWhat YouTube channel due to its clean design, excellent build quality and pre-installed fans. Pillar-less tempered glass on the front and side panels gives an unhindered window into the build, while a 10-degree slanted bottom channels airflow directly over the graphics card. The I/O module can also be repositioned from the front to the top, so the case suits any desk setup.

For RAM, this build uses a reliable Corsair Vengeance DDR5 RGB kit running at 6000MHz CL36 - widely regarded as the sweet spot for the AM5 platform. The ten zones of RGB lighting across the two sticks look superb through the glass side panel.

Regarding storage, the Biwin Black Opal NV7400 has made a return. This is one of our favourite Gen4 NVMe M.2 SSDs, offering sequential read speeds of up to 7400 MB/s and writes up to 6500 MB/s.

Lastly, powering this build is the Corsair RM750e power supply. This is a 750W unit, and it features a fully modular cabling system and 80 Plus 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.
