The How's and Why's of building a $5k Computer

Very cool build and quite extensive and thorough presentation on the full building process, it will definitely help people who want to learn. GZ man

My only gripe is intentionally choosing an Intel CPU in this day and age :) , i personally feel it's like intentionally gimping yourself for absolutely no reason.

Keep up the good work and best of luck 07

Both windows home and pro are 64 bit operating systems, which means they can support up to 17,179,869,184 GB of RAM. Ram support has nothing to do with the OS. You're ram compatibility issues are just the result of DDR5 still being new and memory controllers on cpus having a hard time handling 4 dimms, especially at very high capacities. ram compatibility will likely improve with next gen ryzen and intel cpus since they both should have updated memory controllers. You can try disabling XMP and running the memory at JDEC speeds, which I think are like 4000 or 4400 MHz. That might improve memory stability enough to run 4 sticks if your cpu is having trouble.

As of 2020 sli ended with the 3090 only having it. Good video, nice build .

great efford

OS doesn't support 128GB memory? Are you kidding? Stop using Windows 98 today.

I think your bottom fans are set to exhaust. You may want to flip them for intake.

I just went with Corsair's premium build kit last August, which cost me $3,299.98 ($3,572.24 with tax). It came with the I9 13900K. RTX 4090 Founders Edition. MSI 790 Pro motherboard. 64 Gb of ram. 2T SSD. 5000D Airflow case/with fans. 1000 W PSU, and Corsairs 150 AF elite Capellux AOI. Nothing over the top.

I said CPU chassis a few times, I meant PC chassis evidently I also said that the pro edition supported 128gb and the home edition didn’t but that was also a misspeak, I meant the pro edition supported 256gb of RAM while the home edition only supports up to 128 (according to the website I was researching off).
