Building a PC in 2026

From the creator

What PC Building in 2026 is Like ▷ MY STORE - shirts, pint glasses & hoodies: http://paulshardware.net It's our first PC build of 2026! This is a portable PC build for video editing, although it would make a very nice gaming PC as well, with a 9950X CPU, RTX 5080 GPU, a 64GB DDR5 memory kit and a white theme (with some black accents) in the Mechanic Master C28 case. It didn't go as smoothly as planned and we had to work around some compatibility problems given the small form factor (SFF) micro ATX case, but we're looking forward to bringing this along next week for our CES 2026 coverage. Enjoy, and Happy New Year everyone! ► PARTS LIST CPU - AMD Ryzen 9 9950X - https://geni.us/VAu0Z Motherboard - ASUS ROG Strix B850-G - https://geni.us/jNluI2n GPU - RTX 5080 Founders Edition - https://geni.us/pLivpD RAM - G.Skill Trident Z5 64GB (2x32GB) DDR5-6400 White - https://geni.us/Qqeair CASE - Mechanic Master C28 Micro ATX Case (Polar White) - https://tinyurl.com/2eh5wvyc PSU (option 1) - Lian Li Edge Series 1000W ATX white - https://geni.us/nlD2s PSU (option 2) - Lian Li SP 850W SFX (v2 linked) - https://geni.us/TMNqBSk SSDs - Lexar NM1090 PCIE 5.0 4TB - https://geni.us/xVazAs Lexar NM790 PCIE 4.0 4TB - https://geni.us/hiXb Kioxia XG8 2TB PCIE 4.0 - https://americas.kioxia.com/en-us/business/ssd/client-ssd/xg8.html CPU Cooler (option 1) - ARCTIC Liquid Freezer III 280 A-RGB AIO - https://geni.us/J5G1 CPU Cooler (option 2) - Noctua NH-U12S chromax.Black - https://gen
