Solana, a ray tracing gaming PC dissected
Graphics card : NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5080 16 GB
The RTX 5080 16 GB, the ray tracing card in high resolution.
Ray tracing calculates light, reflections and shadows realistically: this is the heaviest task for a graphics card.
The 4th-gen RT cores and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation on the RTX 5080 compensate for this cost. That’s what makes Solana a 4K gaming PC capable of enabling ray tracing in recent games.
Usage: AAA games with ray tracing, 4K and high-frequency 1440p.
Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 7500X3D
The Ryzen 5 7500X3D, a 6-core with 3D V-Cache.
In 4K, it’s mainly the graphics card that does the work; the processor needs to avoid occasional stutters.
Its 96 MB L3 cache smooths out FPS in CPU-demanding games. A smart choice for a high-end gaming PC that puts the budget where it matters: the graphics card.
Memory : 32 GB DDR5
32 GB of DDR5.
The system memory hosts the game, the system, and anything running in the background.
4K games with high-definition textures benefit from the buffer of 32 GB, especially with an open browser or capture software.
Storage : Kingston NV3 1 TB
A 1 TB Kingston NV3 PCIe 4.0 SSD.
The SSD controls loading speeds and boot time.
Recent 4K games are heavy: 1 TB on NVMe Gen 4 lets you keep several installed, with short loading times.
Motherboard : ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI
The ASUS PRIME B850-PLUS WIFI.
The motherboard connects everything in the PC and determines its upgrade options.
Thanks to the AM5 socket, Solana will be able to host a Ryzen 7 X3D later. Built-in Wi‑Fi avoids having to run a network cable.
Cooling : watercooling Cooler Master MasterLiquid Core II
A Cooler Master AIO watercooling unit.
The AIO kit pulls heat from the processor and releases it through its radiator.
The 7500X3D stays at sensible temperatures, preserving its boost frequencies over long sessions.
Power supply : Cooler Master MWE 850 W 80+ Gold
A Cooler Master MWE of 850 W, 80+ Gold.
The power supply powers each component and must handle the spikes from the graphics card.
The RTX 5080 requires stable power: certified Gold 850 W provide it with a comfortable margin.
Case : Cooler Master Elite 600
The Cooler Master Elite 600 case.
The case houses the components and circulates air.
A no-nonsense mid-tower, spacious enough for a large RTX 5080 and the watercooling radiator.
