After a lot of thinking, I finally built a PC that reflects exactly what I wanted: performance without distractions. No RGB lights, no tempered glass panels, no flashy fans. Just raw performance, quiet operation, and clean aesthetics.

Here are the parts I chose. All links are Amazon affiliate links, meaning if you purchase through them, you support this blog at no additional cost to you:

  • CPU: Ryzen 7 5800X
    One of the best chips from AMD’s last generation. 8 cores, 16 threads, and excellent performance for gaming and productivity.

  • Motherboard: GIGABYTE B550M AORUS ELITE
    Micro-ATX with built-in WiFi. Simple, reliable, and does exactly what I need.

  • RAM: ORICO Raceline Racer 32 GB (2x16) 3200 MHz
    Solid, no-LED memory with great frequency and latency to pair with the 5800X.

  • SSD: SAMSUNG 990 Pro 2TB NVME
    Fast, silent, and spacious. No moving parts, just pure NVMe speed.

  • Power Supply: ASUS TUF-GAMING-750B
    Silent, efficient, and modular. Easily handles this build and potential upgrades.

  • Graphics Card: ASUS Dual RTX 5070
    The latest in efficient, high-performance 1440p gaming (and more). Perfect for development, AI and gaming. And best of all: no RGB.

Overall, this build gives me everything I need: power for development, occasional video editing, and casual gaming. All of that in a quiet, minimalist setup I truly love.

Super happy with how it turned out. I might talk more about cooling or the rest of the workspace in another post.

Thinking of building something similar? Minimal or RGB madness? Let me know!
