G.Skill is known for its killer RAM, and the Ripjaws V is no exception. With 3200MHz speed and a CAS latency of only 16, this 32GB kit is the perfect complement to any build, underscored by ts minimalist black heat spreader making it an absolutely gorgeous set of RAM without distracting from the rest of your build.
AMD's Ryzen 9 5950X is an incredible, top-of-the-line CPU, jammed with 16 high-powered cores and 32 threads, all able to be turbo-boosted up to 4.90Ghz. That's a lot of processing power. It's also not the only AMD processor we have discounted: Check out the Ryzen 7 5800X3D, Ryzen 9 5900X, Ryzen 7 5800X, and Ryzen 5 5600X, all on sale!
Intel's Core i9-12900KS comes packed with incredible power, including 16 cores (8 E-cores and 8 P-cores) overclockable to a blistering Turbo speed of 5.50GHZ, 24 threads, DDR5 and DDR4 support, and support for PCIe 5.0. The 12900K is for those who are looking for the very best Intel has to offer!
NVIDIA's RTX 3070 line of graphics cards are the perfect sweet spot for any build. They're strong enough to handle AAA gaming and ray tracing with power to spare, but they won't wreck your budget. Gigabyte's Eagle RTX 3070 is a triple fan version of the card, so you'll get even more cooling. And more cooling means more stable power, allowing you to eke out every drop of raw graphical power from the 3070!
High-end processors need a lot of cooling to keep operating at full capacity. If you're gaming hard, rendering video, or just pushing your computer to it's limit, a classic air cooler may not be enough to keep your CPU cool. This small, sleek AIO from MSI is the perfect way to ensure you're getting everything your processor has to offer without filling your case full of fans!
Our Micro Center build guides are fantastic references for anyone looking to put together a new build but aren't sure where to begin. Whether you're looking for style, power, or a purpose-built PC, we've got a build guide to get you started.
