Black Thunder delivers ultra-smooth 1440p performance and powerful 4K gaming in modern titles — driven by an AMD 9070xt and Ryzen 7 7700.

💬 A Quick Thank You & Why We Do This

REAL QUICK — thank you for checking out our listings. We’re working hard to bring DDR5-based builds to the market that still perform exceptionally well at 1440p and 4K in 2026. Right now, DDR5 pricing has skyrocketed — kits we used to source around $125 are now often $400+, and GPU and SSD prices are also on the rise. Because of these increases, our build prices have had to go up. We truly appreciate your understanding, and when the market stabilizes, our prices will return to normal.

Let’s start by saying thanks for checking us out — we love what we do here. That passion is what separates us from everyone else. Our PCs are truly built with love for the hobby. Every build is carefully reviewed to make sure you get the most performance for your money.
