PC prices are on the rise, thanks in part to the memory crunch, but none are quite as expensive as the $60,000 gaming PC assembled by Chinese YouTube channel Bro Cooling.
The high-end computer combines an AMD Threadripper Pro 9995WX, a $1,300 Asus motherboard, 16TB of Samsung SSD storage, 256GB of DDR5 memory, and a Workstation Edition of the RTX Pro 6000 graphics card with 96GB of GDDR7. All of it is packed inside a $5,000 golden dome case with its own facial recognition, TechSpot reports.
The hardware inside this machine is undeniably impressive. The CPU has 96 cores and can run consistently at 5.3GHz when well-cooled. And indeed, it is in this system, with a custom water-cooling loop featuring EKWB blocks, gold-plated fittings, and gorgeously lit-up RGB Perspex blocks that house the tubing. All of it is connected to a gold-plated distro plate, which might look a little gaudy in most instances; here, it really seems to work.
The graphics card has over 24,000 CUDA cores to go with all that VRAM—substantially more than even the RTX 5090’s 21,760. It too is water-cooled, with a custom block and backing plate.
The memory isn’t water-cooled, but 256GB of Hynix DDR5 6400MHz is still around $7,500 in 2026. Combine that with 8TB Samsung 9100 Pro SSDs and another 8TB of Samsung 990 Pro SSDs, and this PC has all the space anyone is going to need for many years to come.
If you’re thinking that this would require something monstrous to power it all, you’re not wrong. That’s why Bro Cooling used the ridiculous Asus Pro Workstation 3,000W Platinum PSU. Technically, that GPU can handle up to four RTX 5090s at a time. It’ll only have to contend with one, but that CPU will pull a hell of a lot of juice too.

All of it’s packed inside the InWin Winbot golden sphere case, which has a built-in camera for facial recognition and gesture controls. You can open the case or rotate it with a wave of your hand. Wonderfully ridiculous.
As impressive as all that is, though, I can’t help but think they’ve pumped up the numbers a little. Sure, the CPU and GPU alone would cost around $20,000, and the memory is close to another $10,000, but the motherboard, storage, PSU, case, and cooling extras probably don’t exceed $10,000 combined, right? It’s massive, over-the-top, and easily one of the best-looking PCs I’ve ever seen. The attention to detail is fantastic, and there’s a real satisfaction in watching it all go together. But $60,000? I’d say maybe closer to $40,000.
