I’ve recently gotten really into PC gaming and have a pretty hefty budget of around $3,700. I’m looking for advice on what the absolute best gaming PC I can build or buy with that budget would be. I want top-tier performance and the best components for gaming. Any recommendations or builds that maximize that budget?

Honestly, $3,700 is a huge budget and you can build a beast without even coming close to that. For example, getting something like an AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D paired with an RX 7900 XTX is a killer combo for way less, around $2,450 or so. It’s an amazing price-to-performance ratio if you’re looking to save a bit without sacrificing quality.
Here’s a killer build I put together that comes in just a bit over $3,700:
– CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16-core, 4.3 GHz)
– CPU Cooler: Thermalright AQUA ELITE ARGB Liquid Cooler
– Motherboard: Asus ProArt X870E-CREATOR WIFI ATX AM5
– RAM: 96GB G.Skill Flare X5 DDR5-6000 CL30
– Storage: 2TB Inland Performance Plus NVMe + 4TB WD Black SN850X NVMe
– GPU: MSI GeForce RTX 5080 16GB
– Case: NZXT H6 Flow ATX Mid Tower
– PSU: ADATA XPG Core Reactor II 1200W 80+ Gold
– Extra Fans: Thermalright TL-C12W-S V3 x3
This build offers massive CPU power with the 9950X3D and a strong RTX 5080 GPU for fantastic gaming and content creation performance. Plus, the storage setup gives you tons of super fast space for games and files. Definitely a top-tier setup around your budget.
If you really want to go all out and have the latest and greatest, consider a build with an Intel Core i9-13900K or an AMD Ryzen 9 7950X3D paired with an NVIDIA RTX 5090, 32GB of RAM, and at least 2TB of fast NVMe storage. The tricky part is snagging an RTX 5090 close to MSRP, but if you can get it, you’ll have a future-proof gaming setup for sure.
