AMD RYZEN 9 5950X

AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is the best of the mainstream CPUs 2020. This AMD is high quality CPU
for the content creators which mean for the gamers because in addition to gaming, the new
flagship also masters simultaneous streaming. Basically AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is a high-end 16-
core, hyper threaded (SMT) Vermeer Series for desktop processor which is with 32 threads, the
new flagship offers as many threads as this AMD. This Ryzen 9 is the fastest 16-core processor
and is stated at 105 watts TDP. The base clock for Ryzen 9 5950X at 3.4GHz and it will reach
up to 4.9GHz in boost mode on a single core. When all the 16-cores are loaded, up to 4.5GHz is
still possible.
The performance of the AMD Ryzen 9 5950X is consistently very high in all the applications and
also has been significantly upgraded over the AMD Ryzen 9 3950X. AMD was able to improve
especially the single thread performance and the multi-thread performance is excellent due to
the 16-cores. The internal structure of the processor has not changed at all but the CCX
consists of up to 8 CPU cores which mean that each core can access the complete L3 cache,
32MByte. The CCX connected to each other via the same I/O die. To avoid the performance
loss, the infinity fabric should now reach clock rates of up to 2 GHz which will in turn allow a
RAM clock of 4000 MHz. The manufacturing processes, AMD also relies on TSCM for the
Vermeer processor for the 7nm production of the CPU cores and also the I/O die still supplied in
12nm by Global foundries.

TEAMGROUP T-Force Xtreem ARGB 4000MHz CL18 32GB

The Team Xtreem ARGB RAM pack we're got here for survey isn't your standard DDR4 RAM,
it's one of not many 3,600MHz units that accompanies a CAS inertness of only 14. With
essential timings of 14-15-15-35, it's especially a tip top pack. Indeed, in case you're into
overclocking your apparatus, this is a unit that may have as much headroom as any memory
modules available. It has a default voltage of 1.45v, which is on the high side for a DDR4 pack,
however recollect that we're managing a low inertness CAS 14 unit. Moreover, there's a lifetime
guarantee in any case.
DDR4 memory truly is developing pleasantly. Only a few of years prior, a nice DDR4-3200 unit
was viewed as top of the line, however as we move towards 2021 3,200MHz is currently the
pattern for a respectable gaming framework. All things considered you could contend that
3,600MHz is the current sweet spot for fair execution with no critical value premium.
This specific Team Xtreem ARGB memory is—as the name proposes—an addressable RGB
pack. Regardless of whether over-the-top, eyeball-browning laser light shows aren't your thing,

7|Page
this is as yet a unit worth looking at. Each DIMM has a covering that diffuses the lighting across
the majority of the module and the outcome is an inconspicuous and downplayed look. Group
doesn't have its own RGB control application, yet the pack can be controlled just utilizing
different motherboard producers' product suites.
This way you can synchronize the shades of your framework pleasantly. Despite the fact that
RGB is apparently all inescapable in current gaming frameworks, this unit in reality actually
looks great without it. The modules have a dull blue covering that looks incredible without help
from anyone else, without settling on the RGB liveliness.

WD_Black 1TB SN850 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD

For gaming client WD Black 1TB SN850 NVMe Internal Gaming SSD. SSD is reasonable for
any games in view of execution. This NVMe empowers drives to profits by the very pool of paths
that straightforwardly interface with the CPU. That offers adaptable exhibition by going past the
traditional four paths found in most PCIe SSDs and use them for added execution. PCIe
attachments move in excess of multiple times more information than their SATA same. Despite

8|Page
structure factor, NVMe straightforwardly speaks with the framework CPU and works with all
major working frameworks.

NVMe isn't influenced by the ATA interface tightening influences as it sits directly on the highest
point of the PCI Express straightforwardly associated with the CPU. That outcomes in multiple
times quicker Input/Output Operations Per Second (IOPs) matching the quickest SAS
alternative out there. The look for time for information is multiple times quicker. NVMe can
convey supported read-compose speed of 2000MB every second. Which limits at 600MB every
second. Here the bottleneck is NAND innovation, which is quickly propelling, which implies we'll
probably observe higher speeds soon with NVMe.

Samsung SSD 860 EVO 4TB 2.5 Inch SATA III Internal SSD

The Samsung 860 EVO. Uncommonly intended for gaming standard PCs and PCs, with the
most recent V-NAND and a vigorous calculation based regulator, this quick and solid SSD
arrives in a wide scope of viable structure variables and limits. Rates are more unsurprising,
even with powerful leftover weights and plays out numerous assignments. The 860 EVO
performs at back to back surveys to 520 MB/s* with Intelligent TurboWrite development, and

9|Page
progressive examines up to 550 MB/s. The TurboWrite pad size* is upgraded from 12 GB to 78
GB for faster record move.

Securely store and render huge estimated 4K recordings and 3D information utilized by the
most recent applications which are perfect for gaming with the highest resolution, up to 8x
higher TBW. Advantage from quicker, more liquid correspondence with your host framework.
The refined ECC* calculation and another MJX regulator create higher rates, and the improved
lined trim upgrades Linux similarity. Our high level designing makes the 860 EVO more viable
with your registering framework.

RTX 3080 Founders Edition

Nvidia’s latest graphics card, GeForce RTX 3080 is one of the most powerful graphics cards
you can buy. This graphics card delivers almost the same performance with much cheaper price
compared to its “big brother”, Nvidia GeForce RTX 3090 which cost an arm and a leg.
The GeForce RTX 3080 delivers the ultra performance that gamers crave, powered by Ampere,
Nvidia’s impressive 2nd generation RTX architecture. The GPU built in with enhanced RT Cores
and Tensor Cores, latest streaming multiprocessors, and superfast G6X memory for an overall
satisfying gaming experience.

10 | P a g e
The GeForce RTX 3080’s design comes with new dual axial flow that delivers the highest
possible thermal performance without compromising fan acoustics. The flow through thermal
design reinforces the natural air flow in the chassis for a quitter and cooler gaming system.
Specs:
• 8704 NVIDIA CUDA cores
• 1.71 GHz Boost Clock
• 10 GB of GDDR6X

This graphics card obviously supports Ray Tracing which allows it to simulate the physical
behaviour of light to bring real-time, cinematic-quality rendering to even the most visually
intense games.
Even though using this Ray Tracing can cost your frames per seconds (FPS) to drop quite
heavily, they also come out with such brilliant AI rendering which is Nvidia DLSS that boosts
frame rates with uncompromised image quality using the dedicating AI processing Tensor Cores
on GeForce RTX. This gives you the performance headroom to crank up settings and resolution
such as 4K for an incredible visual experience. This is truly revolutionary to the gaming industry.

SteelSeries Apex Pro.

14 | P a g e
The SteelSeries Apex Pro is an outstanding keyboard for gamers but it's quite versatile too. It
has a unique actuation force setting that lets you change the amount of pre-travel distance and
actuation force needed to input a keystroke. You can lower it for a more responsive experience
in games, or you can raise it up to reduce the number of typos and accidental keystrokes when
typing text. This keyboard is very well-built and features dedicated media keys and comes with
a nice magnetic wrist rest.

Logitech G502 wireless

15 | P a g e
The Logitech G502 Lightspeed is a great gaming mouse for discerning gamers who don’t want
to compromise, as well as people who have no idea what they should look for in a mouse. It’s
comfortable, feature-packed, and even though it’s wireless, it’s a fast and accurate performer
that doesn’t feel at a disadvantage against opponents using wired mice.
The G502 Lightspeed has Logitech’s best features for its gaming and general-use mice rolled
into one. The main buttons deliver a satisfying bounce response when you tap them, and unlike
some other popular models, they click easily no matter how you grip your hand on the mouse.

SteelSeries Arctis 7 Wireless.

16 | P a g e
The SteelSeries Arctis 7 is a wireless headset that connects using a 2.4Hz wireless RF USB
dongle, rather than Bluetooth. While that means the headphones are a little less versatile, you
don’t need to spend as much time pairing anything, and it has no noticeable latency. The Arctis
7 is really comfortable. After briefly adjusting the Velcro suspension strap, I easily settled in for a
number of comfortable gaming sessions. The strap was comfortable and elastic, applying just
the right amount of pressure to keep the headset snug on one’s head.
The Arctis 7 features 7.1 digital surround sound for gaming using DTS Headphone:X 2.0 tech,
offering realistic 3D audio environments. The Steel Series Arctic 7 offers pretty good audio
output, with relative clarity across frequencies. It boosts bass, but not nearly as much as most
gaming headsets. There’s also a little de-emphasis of mids around 1,500Hz.

Samsung Odyssey G9

17 | P a g e
The Samsung Odyssey G9 is an amazing ultrawide gaming monitor. It has a curved 49 inch
screen with a 32:9 aspect ratio. The stands of the monitor are very wide and thin. The back of
the computer has some RGB lighting where the stand joined to the screen. The borders of the
screen are thin but the screen is really thick which takes a fair amount of space.
The build quality of Samsung Odyssey G9 is excellent which is similar to Samsung Odyssey
G7. The screen is made of decent quality plastic, and the stand is metal but covered with a
plastic shell. This gaming monitor also has a great SDR peak brightness. It is bright enough to
manage glare in bright lighting situations.
Samsung Odyssey has an outstanding SDR color gamut. It covers nearly the entire sRGB
colour space used in most content, and it has great coverage of the Adobe RGB color used in
photo editing. Moreover, this gaming monitor has good reflection handling and we will not have
any issues in bright lighting conditions.

Asus ROG Strix XG27UQ.

18 | P a g e
This impressive gaming monitor fulfils gamers' needs. You get a 27-inch, 3840 x 2160-pixel
display (4K) with a smooth 144Hz refresh rate and Nvidia G-Sync support. It’s colourful and
bright, plus HDR400-enabled, and offers a ridiculous 1-millisecond response time which is very
important for First-person Shooter games.

Operating System (OS)

Basically, Windows 10 is the best OS for gaming. Gaming is a monstrous market for Microsoft
so their Windows stage has been intended to explicitly deal with games and gaming. Taking into

19 | P a g e
account that Windows has a huge load of PC titles and Microsoft claims Xbox, it's nothing
unexpected that Windows is planned in light of gaming applications.
Windows 10 is likewise the most ideal decision thinking about that Microsoft has begun finishing
support for more seasoned OS variants like XP and Vista (and furthermore the enormous lemon
that was Windows 8). Windows 10 is the best OS for gaming, as Linux has similarity issues with
numerous advanced games and Mac OSX gadgets do not have the registering capacity to run
requesting titles.
