Introduction
If you need a custom PC for both gaming and AI tasks, the best build will balance CPU performance, GPU power, memory capacity, storage speed, and power headroom. For a budget under $4,000, a system with an Intel or AMD Ryzen processor, at least 98GB RAM, 1TB storage, and an NVIDIA RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 is a strong starting point.
Recommended configuration
For CLX customers, we recommend prioritizing a high-core-count CPU, a modern NVIDIA graphics card, and enough memory to support large game assets, AI workloads, and multitasking. A well-balanced configuration under $4,000 may include the following core components.
| Component | Recommended option | Why it fits |
|---|---|---|
| CPU | Intel Core [Insert model] or AMD Ryzen [Insert model] | Strong gaming performance and enough processing headroom for AI-related tasks |
| Memory | At least 98GB RAM | Supports large workloads, multitasking, and AI applications |
| Storage | 1TB SSD minimum | Fast boot times, quick game loading, and room for applications |
| Graphics card | RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 | Excellent gaming performance and strong GPU acceleration for AI tasks |
| Power supply | 850W PSU | Provides headroom for upgrades and stable power delivery |
RTX 5070 Ti vs. RTX 5080
Both cards are suitable for gaming and AI workloads, but the RTX 5080 delivers slightly better performance at a higher price. If your priority is maximizing performance within the budget, the RTX 5080 is the stronger option. If you want to stay closer to the $4,000 limit while still getting excellent results, the RTX 5070 Ti is often the better value.
What to prioritize in your build
Choose a modern Intel or AMD Ryzen processor with strong single-core and multi-core performance.
Use at least 98GB RAM to support demanding multitasking and AI workloads.
Select a 1TB SSD or larger for fast loading and enough storage for games and datasets.
Prefer an RTX 5070 Ti or RTX 5080 for the best balance of gaming and AI acceleration.
Make sure the system includes an 850W power supply for upgrade flexibility.
