Building the ultimate RTX 5090 gaming PC in 2025: power, speed, and zero compromise
The RTX 5090 is hands down the GPU of 2025. With Nvidia's Blackwell architecture, 32 GB of VRAM, upgraded Tensor cores, and 4th-gen ray tracing, it's built for extreme 4K and 8K gaming, high-end AI workloads, and content creation pipelines that don't flinch. But to unlock its full potential, the rest of your PC better keep up. This guide builds around the RTX 5090 with a ₹4.5L-6L range in mind, balancing brute force with thermal sanity and long-term upgradability. Ultimate overpowered RTX 5090 gaming PC build. Core components: No weak links allowed GPU: The RTX 5090 is a massive 3.5-slot card. It needs serious breathing room and consistent cooling. You'll want a case that doesn't choke airflow and, ideally, a custom loop or top-tier triple-fan air cooler if not going full liquid. CPU: Ryzen 9 9950X3D is the sweet spot for pure gaming and streaming. Intel Core Ultra 9 285K is better suited for AI and multitasking. Both are monsters, pair either with confidence. Motherboard: Go for an X670E or Z990 chipset board with solid VRMs, DDR5 RAM support, PCIe 5.0 lanes, and at least three M.2 slots. Stability matters at this level. RAM: 32 GB DDR5 (6000MHz+) is the baseline. Creators and AI users can push to 64 GB or higher. Storage: Start with a fast 2 TB PCIe Gen 4/5 NVMe for boot and main games. Add a secondary SSD or HDD for bulk files. Personal recommendation would be to go for a Gen 5 SSD for absolute future proofing. Power Supply: 1000W+ 80+ Platinum, modular, and ready for multiple 8-pin or 12VHPWR GPU connectors. Cooling: A 360mm AIO is minimum. Custom loops? Ideal if you're chasing silence or aesthetics. Case: Full tower preferred. Prioritize airflow, cable clearance, and GPU clearance. Building it right Mount the CPU carefully, paste it right, and make sure your RAM clicks fully. The RTX 5090 installation will test your patience, remove extra slot covers and ensure enough clearance. Cable management matters more here. This isn't a casual build. What you get Expect buttery-smooth gameplay at 4K with max settings, real-time AI processing, and machine learning tasks without stutters. Heat? Yes. Noise? Moderate. But this rig handles it all. This isn't a build for casual users. It's for enthusiasts, creators, and professionals who want tomorrow's power today. If you've got the budget and ambition, the RTX 5090 build is everything you need, and ready for whatever comes next.

AMD is Pursuing Product Line Expansion: Will Margins Sustain?
Advanced Micro Devices AMD is benefiting from sustained gross margin expansion, driven by a richer mix of high-end Ryzen processors within its client segment and a higher percentage of data center product sales, leading to expanded gross margins for the fifth consecutive quarter. In the first quarter of 2025, Non-GAAP gross margin expanded 140 basis points (bps) on a year-over-year basis to 53.7%.Strong demand for high-end Ryzen CPUs in both gaming and commercial PCs is contributing to a favorable product mix that supports margin expansion. The data center segment, which includes EPYC CPUs and Instinct GPUs, continues to deliver strong revenue growth and higher margins, driven by increased adoption by hyperscalers and enterprise customers. AMD's latest Ryzen CPUs, particularly those based on the Zen 5 architecture, have seen strong demand, especially for gaming and high-performance desktops and laptops. The launch of new products, like the Ryzen 9 9950 X3D, helped set sellout records and boosted the client segment. The sales of higher-end products, including Ryzen processors for both desktop and mobile, led to higher average selling prices, which continue to positively impact gross expects gross margins to remain strong as demand for its high-performance products continues to grow. For the second quarter of 2025, AMD has guided a gross margin of approximately 54%, excluding an $800 million inventory-related charge tied to the MI308 export controls. AMD faces intense competition from NVIDIA NVDA and Intel Corporation INTC in the data center and client segments. While both NVIDIA and Intel Corporation have recently seen declines in gross margin, AMD continues to expand its margin through a favorable product mix and strong demand for high-end gross margins declined in the first quarter of fiscal 2026, with non-GAAP gross margin slipping 12.5 percentage points sequentially to 61%. This decline was primarily due to a $4.5 billion charge related to H20 inventory and purchase commitments that became unsellable following the new U.S. export restrictions on H20 chip shipments to China. Intel Corporation's non-GAAP gross margin declined to 39.2% from 45.1% a year ago in the first quarter of 2025. Margins were significantly impacted by impairment charges and restructuring costs associated with a structural and operational realignment across the company. Advanced Micro Device shares have gained 19% year to date, outperforming the broader Zacks Computer & Technology sector's return of 6.1%.

Where to buy the AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D: new gaming CPUs at no extra cost
The day is finally here: AMD is adding to its list of best processors, and gamers have something to be happy about — they both have the same recommended list price (MSRP) as their last-gen counterparts. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and the Ryzen 9 9900X3D both feature AMD's famous 3D V-Cache tech that makes them gaming beasts, but unlike the 9800X3D, they sport more cores — making them better picks for productivity. The initial batch might sell out quickly, so check out where to get them once they go on sale today. Several retailers have already listed the Ryzen 9 9000X3D CPUs, so if you're in the U.S., you've got a good chance of being able to snap one up. Retailer AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D AMD Ryzen 9 9900X3D Best Buy $699 $599 B&H Photo $699 (TBA) $599 (TBA) Micro Center $699.99 $599.99 Newegg $699.99 $599.99 As far as specifications go, AMD stayed true to the formula it appears to have perfected in the previous generation; both CPUs have the exact same specs. This means 16 cores and 32 threads for the Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 12 cores for the Ryzen 9 9900X3D. The flagship sports 144MB of combined cache, while its cheaper counterpart offers 140MB. Despite the lack of updates in the specs, the CPUs should get a significant boost from the update to Zen 5 and a newer 3D V-Cache. So far, reviewers highlight that the 9950X3D can match the 9800X3D in gaming, while rivaling the 9950X in productivity. This isn't a surprise — the same situation took place in the Ryzen 7000 generation, when the two CPUs to compare were the 7950X3D and the 7950X. At the time of writing, some retailers are still yet to list the CPU, as the sales start at 6am PT / 9am ET. However, a few listings are already here for you to keep an eye on and refresh. Come back here a little bit later to see an updated list of AMD Ryzen 9 9000X3D deals.

Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D hit retail on March 12, according to official AMD outlet in China
When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. New listings at AMD's official store suggest the retail embargo for its Ryzen 9 9950X3D and Ryzen 9 9900X3D processors will lift on March 12 (via ITHome). alternatively known as Jingdong, is an online e-commerce company that is ranked as China's largest B2C retailer by revenue. Courtesy of HXL, AMD has priced these CPUs at $770 and $630, respectively, reflecting a moderate increase over their predecessors, at least in the Chinese market. Note that (pre-sale) listings in China are not wholly indicative of global pricing and availability. AMD announced high-core count Ryzen 9000X3D offerings at CES, promising retail availability by Q1 2025. Without discussing pricing, it showcased how these CPUs stack up versus their Zen 4 counterparts and Intel's troubled Arrow Lake processors, claiming 20% higher FPS on average versus the Core Ultra 9 285K. Ryzen 9000X3D processors leverage AMD's 2nd generation V-Cache technology, with the SRAM packaged beneath the CCD. Dual-CCD models like the 9950X3D and 9900X3D still have V-Cache implemented on only one of the CCDs, so the total cache count remains unchanged. Last month, a reliable leaker from China alleged the review embargo for the 9950X3D ends March 11th, which lines up with what we're seeing today at AMD's JD store. As for pricing, HXL used a special plugin designed for which allowed them to view prices across different regions. The Ryzen 9 9950X3D and 9900X3D are listed at 5599 RMB ($770) and 4599 RMB ($630), representing a 5% and 2% higher price versus the launch prices (in China) for the last-gen 7950X3D and 7900X3D. Keep in mind that China generally imposes a 13% VAT (Value Added Tax), so the expected global prices drop to $670 and $550 for both CPUs before tax, but that's no more than a guess. Earlier in February, data scrapers revealed potential $699 and $599 price-tags from Newegg. So which one is it? The latest information suggests a $50 drop in MSRP over Ryzen 7000X3D, which seems unlikely since Arrow Lake's gaming performance has been weaker than anticipated. It's hard to conclude as these prices are based on pre-sale listings so it's best to wait for an official statement. Even though AMD says the 9950X3D and 9900X3D can deliver comparable gaming performance to the 9800X3D, the latter will inevitably hold an advantage in certain titles. The high core count models are more geared towards productivity, so customers will have a wide array of CPUs to choose from, depending on their needs. All that's left is an announcement from AMD where we expect further details on pricing and availability.
