2025 PC Build
If you’re like me, you may ask yourself, from time to time, “do I have enough compute?” And if you are even more like me than you will also answer “no.” In 2025, I finally got around to building a PC to address this problem. My laptop at the time was wholly incapable of running some software I was interested in, namely Nvidia’s Isaac Sim and Gym.
I opted for the following main components:
CPU: Ryzen 9 9950x
GPU: Nvidia RTX 5080
RAM: 128GB DDR5
MOBO: Asus ProArt X870e Wifi
I sprung for what may be considered an overkill motherboard and RAM specs, but I wanted some future proofing- for instance, if I win the lottery and decide to upgrade to a 5090.
