At Lithgeek, we recently had the pleasure of building a custom gaming PC for a client who wanted one thing: pure power. This high-performance setup brings together some of the best components on the market, including an AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, RX 7800 XT graphics card, 32GB of RAM, and the versatile Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite AX V2 motherboard. With this rig, the client is ready to crush intensive gaming sessions, streaming, and content creation. Let’s dive into the build and what makes this custom setup a true gaming beast.

The AMD Ryzen 9 5900X: The Powerhouse Processor

At the heart of this custom gaming PC is the AMD Ryzen 9 5900X, a 12-core, 24-thread CPU designed for extreme gaming and multitasking. With a base clock of 3.7 GHz and a max boost of up to 4.8 GHz, this processor can handle anything, from the latest AAA titles to intense multitasking workflows like streaming, recording, and editing all at once.

For anyone looking to future-proof their system, the Ryzen 9 5900X is a great choice. It offers power that will keep up with next-gen games and intensive software, so our client can expect top-notch performance for years to come.

The RX 7800 XT: Graphics Power Unleashed

For the graphics card, the client went with the Radeon RX 7800 XT, AMD’s mid-to-high-range powerhouse, perfect for 1440p gaming and even 4K in many titles. With 16GB of GDDR6 VRAM, the RX 7800 XT ensures high frame rates, smooth visuals, and excellent rendering quality. This choice balances great performance with a reasonable price tag, and it’s ideal for graphically demanding games and VR.

Equipped with AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture, this card excels in power efficiency, keeping thermal levels manageable. The RX 7800 XT is built for performance and immersive graphics, which makes it an ideal choice for games like Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, and Assassin’s Creed Mirage.

Multitasking Freedom with 32GB RAM

To handle serious multitasking, our client chose 32GB of high-speed RAM. This ensures that they can run resource-heavy applications simultaneously—perfect for those who like to game while streaming, chatting on Discord, or recording gameplay. With the Ryzen 9 5900X’s processing power and the RX 7800 XT’s graphical capabilities, this system is optimized to handle whatever our client throws at it.

For storage, we recommended an SSD setup that includes both NVMe and SATA options, offering lightning-fast load times, minimal lag, and a seamless gaming experience.

Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite AX V2: The Perfect ATX Board for This Build

This custom build uses the Gigabyte B550 AORUS Elite AX V2 motherboard, a versatile board with Wi-Fi 6, PCIe 4.0 support, and plenty of USB ports for connectivity. This board was chosen for its compatibility with the Ryzen 9 5900X and its support for high-speed DDR4 RAM up to 5000 MHz, offering both power and flexibility for future upgrades.
