Things we can learn from the video

1:55The Ryzen 7 7800X3D is chosen to save money compared with newer processors.
10:48Internal panels are adjusted to accommodate the motherboard's rear-facing connectors.
15:57The Radeon RX 9070 XT goes into the vertical mount, which proves fiddly to assemble.
20:00Glass air guides direct airflow inside the case, alongside cabling hidden behind the ventilated rear panel.
21:30The first boot leads to enabling the memory profile and tuning fan curves in the BIOS.
26:45Control: Resonant testing reveals poor low-end frame rates and noticeable stutter on this configuration.

Can a tidy-looking gaming PC stay tidy when the graphics card goes in? PC Centric finds the vertical mounting a little fiddly in "The ULTIMATE $2500 Gaming PC Build!", but the finished machine has an unusual finishing touch: glass guides that direct air inside the case.

The week's only upload follows a white-themed build in HAVN's HS 360, with the motherboard's connections tucked around the back. It is sponsored by HAVN, as the presenter makes clear at the start. A Ryzen 7 7800X3D supplies a cost-saving alternative to a newer processor, while a Radeon RX 9070 XT handles the graphics. The colour scheme gets a small compromise: Gigabyte wanted its white card back.

Assembly is only part of the story. After booting, setting the memory profile and adjusting fan curves, PC Centric puts the machine through games. Gears of War: E-Day produces an unexpected CPU bottleneck; Control: Resonant brings troublesome stutter. The polished case doesn't make every performance problem disappear.

The upload has reached roughly 44,000 views. In the comments, viewers compare their own builds and past purchase prices, while others ask about airflow and dust protection. One offers a practical alternative order for installing the vertical graphics-card bracket.

Across the channel, subscribers were unchanged over the week, and today's viewing is below its usual daily level. Older uploads have more daily momentum than the new build: the Asus OLED monitor review, the discussion of rising component prices and the budget desktop tutorial. That makes a fitting counterpoint to the premium case showcase: PC Centric's audience has both the attractive hardware and the awkward question of what it costs to consider.

What viewers say

I built a pc with the same specs, 7800x3D, 9070xt, 1tb ssd, and 32gb of ram earlier this month as my first build and I absolutely love it.

@16:56 I have a HS420, and found it very straight forward to just mount the GPU before putting the VGPU bracket back in the case. Nice video and very nice build!
@michaeldamolsenSee it on YouTube
A good-looking build. With that case, it would be interesting to see the airflow with a little coloured smoke. For me, dust protection is important, so I'm curious about that too.
