While looking at some articles about the new Z590 chipset, I ran across this:
ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial
Anandtec says it’s $1843. Yes. $1,843. For a motherboard…
It got me thinking, what does a “dream system” cost?
(prices rounded)
Motherboard – ASUS ROG Maximus XIII Extreme Glacial $1843
CPU – Intel Core i9-10900KF $500
CPU Cooler – Corsair H115i RGB Platinum (not sure about this as it has a water block) $170
Memory – Assume for premium RAM 64GB (probably more than this) $1000
Video Card – ASUS EKWB GeForce RTX 3090 24GB GDDR6X $2055
Storage – Highly debatable. x2 – 1TB SAMSUNG 980 PRO 1TB M.2 $460
Power Supply – Corsair AX1000 1000 Watt, 80+ Titanium Certified, Fully Modular Power Supply $ 450
Case – Lian Li O11 Dynamic XL $245
Total – $6723 + sales tax of $336 (5%) {U.S. low of 0% in four states, high of 7.25% in California (surprise)}
Final Cost – $7, 059
