How to Build an Ultimate High-End Gaming PC (Using PC-Hybrid.ca Parts)
If you want a premium gaming setup built for ultra-smooth FPS, streaming, and heavy multitasking, this guide walks you through a complete, fully compatible build using products available on PC-Hybrid.ca.
1) Recommended Selection (Excellent High-End Foundation)
-
CPU: AMD Ryzen 9 9950X3D (16-Core)
-
GPU: ASUS ROG STRIX GeForce RTX 5070 OC 12GB GDDR7
-
Motherboard: ASUS ROG Crosshair X870E Hero (AM5 / X870E)
-
Gaming Chair: ANDA Phantom 4 Premium Gaming Chair (Red)

-
Mouse Pad: CHERRY GP5 Black XL Mouse Pad

Verdict: This is a top-tier foundation — but it’s not yet a complete, bootable PC. You still need the essentials below.
2) What’s Missing to Finalize a Complete, Compatible Gaming Setup
A) RAM (Memory) — Required
For Ryzen 9000 on AM5, DDR5-6000 EXPO is a sweet spot for stability and gaming performance.
B) SSD Storage — Required
Modern games and Windows benefit hugely from a fast NVMe SSD. 2TB is ideal for a premium gaming library.
- Samsung 990 PRO 2TB NVMe (PCIe Gen4)

- Alternative (great value): Kingston NV3 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD 2TB
C) Power Supply (PSU) — Required
With a high-end CPU + RTX 5070, go with a quality 850W unit (ATX 3.0/3.1 preferred).
- ASUS ROG Strix 850W Gold Aura Edition (Fully Modular)

- Alternative (ATX 3.0): ASUS Prime AP-850G 850W Gold (ATX 3.0)
D) CPU Cooling — Required
The Ryzen 9 9950X3D does not come with a cooler. A 360mm AIO is recommended for sustained performance and lower noise.
E) PC Case — Required
Choose an ATX case with strong airflow and 360mm radiator support (and enough GPU clearance).
- ASUS A31 ATX Case (Supports up to 360mm radiators)
- Alternative (premium + 360mm support): ASUS TUF Gaming GT502 Case
F) Operating System — Optional (but most gamers want it)
3) Complete Gaming Setup (PC + Display + Peripherals)
Monitor (Recommended)
To take advantage of your GPU, a 27" WQHD high-refresh gaming monitor is a perfect match.
- ASUS ROG Strix XG27AQ-W 27" WQHD Gaming Monitor (170Hz class)
- Alternative: ASUS ROG Strix XG27ACMEG-G 27" WQHD Gaming Monitor
Keyboard
Mouse
Headset (Optional but recommended for competitive play)
4) Step-by-Step: How to Assemble This PC (High-Level Build Guide)
- Prepare your workspace: a clean desk, good lighting, a Phillips screwdriver, and (ideally) an anti-static wrist strap.
- Install the CPU on the motherboard: open the AM5 socket latch, align the CPU correctly (do not force it), and lock it in place.
- Install the RAM: use the recommended DIMM slots (usually A2/B2). Press firmly until both latches click.
- Install the NVMe SSD: insert the M.2 drive, secure it with the screw, and reinstall the heatsink if provided.
- Mount the motherboard into the case: install standoffs, align ports, then screw down the motherboard carefully.
- Install the power supply (PSU): route cables cleanly (24-pin, CPU EPS, GPU power). Keep airflow paths clear.
- Install the CPU cooler (360mm AIO): mount radiator + fans, apply thermal paste (if not pre-applied), mount the pump block, then connect pump/fan headers.
- Install the GPU: insert into the top PCIe slot, secure the bracket screws, and connect GPU power cable(s).
- Final cabling + first boot: connect front-panel headers, USB, audio, and case fans. Boot to BIOS, enable EXPO for RAM, and check temps.
- Install Windows + drivers: install Windows 11, chipset drivers, GPU drivers, and update BIOS if needed (following ASUS instructions).
Pro tip: After the first boot, run a quick stability test and watch CPU/GPU temperatures to confirm your cooling and airflow are optimal.
5) Conclusion
With the CPU, GPU, and motherboard selected, you’re building a premium rig designed for high-FPS gaming, streaming, and heavy multitasking. Add the missing essentials (RAM, SSD, PSU, cooler, and case), and you’ll have a complete, compatible, and future-ready setup.
