This Prime Day season has been a target-rich environment for putting together great PC builds at great prices. We've already built a 1440p gaming rig with a Ryzen 7 7800X3D and a surprisingly awesome sub-$800 build that still manages to squeeze in a Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB.

Now it's time to turn our attention to the high end. Amazon has discounts running on the Editor's Choice-winning Ryzen 9 9950X3D CPU, and B&H is still discounting the PNY Epic-X ARGB RTX 5090 to just $2649 right now. With those discounts at hand, we set out to put together a parts list fit for a king—or at least one fit for CEOs of companies with $4 trillion market caps.

When you're spending $5000 on a PC, you generally have to be particular about the workloads you expect it to run, but this system really can do it all. You can enjoy high-refresh-rate gaming at your leisure with the one-two punch of an RTX 5090 and Ryzen 9 9950X3D, then turn around and crush productivity or coding work with 16 cores, 32 threads, and 96GB of DDR5-6000 RAM. 4TB of SSD storage and an ROG Strix X870-A motherboard absolutely bristling with high-speed USB ports ensure that you'll never be kept waiting.

With gobs of CPU and GPU power, a clean white theme, RGB LEDs aplenty, a roomy, stylish case, and a rock-solid power supply, we think it's hard to do much better than this build for the deep-pocketed enthusiast. Sure, you can start looking at Threadripper CPUs and RTX Pro 6000 graphics power if you need even more compute on tap, but that's truly territory for those who already know.

We're in the final hours of Prime Day, so if these top-of-the-line components strike your fancy, hop on these discounts before they disappear.
