Description
Yes I will be building an "ultimate gaming machine" over the next little while here. Stay tuned because it's going to be pretty slick.
In this teaser for the AMD Vision Black "Best of AMD" Gaming Machine Build, Linus Tech Tips previews an ambitious high-end PC build centered on AMD hardware. He begins by describing the shipment and outlines the major components that will populate the system, including the Corsair Graphite Series 600T case noted for extreme airflow and excellent cable management. The motherboard is identified as the Crosshair 4 formula, with discussion about the relative benefits of the Crosshair 4 Extreme variant and the Hydralogics chip. Linus then highlights the graphics setup featuring a Radeon HD 6870 with a plan to add a second card in Crossfire for maximum AMD performance in this configuration. Power is supplied by an AX850 unit, praised for single-rail design, modular cabling, and efficiency above 88 percent, which frames the build as both powerful and clean. Storage is planned with two SandForce Corsair 4 Series SSDs in RAID 0 to maximize boot and application performance, paired with a Dominator GT memory kit configured for a red/black Republic of Gamers theme. The teaser also covers cooling with a Corsair H70 cooler and hints at the upcoming build guide scheduled to help viewers replicate the system, emphasizing AMD Vision Black components and a holiday-season timeline. Linus closes by encouraging subscriptions to Linus Tech Tips and pointing to NC PC resources, setting expectations for detailed coverage to come in the full guide.
