CPU Cooler

Corsair NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB

MPI_Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB Radiator

At GeekaWhat we were impressed by the Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB, so much so that we actually feature the CPU cooler in one of our many prebuilds on our GeekaPC prebuilt PC site. If there’s one thing that Corsair does best, it’s refining its products to work very well within its ecosystem, which is why it’s a great match for the Corsair frame 4000D RS. The NAUTILUS is an All-in-One liquid cooler with a 360mm radiator that performed pretty well in our testing, given its budget price. We found that this cooler offered a simple installation process, daisy-chained fans, pre-applied thermal paste, and plenty of RGB lighting to spice up your build’s look. While this does mean the Nautilus is a bit simpler than other liquid coolers, it is often what we prefer to see in cheaper options.

RAM

Corsair VENGEANCE RGB DDR5

Corsair Vengeance RGB White DDR5 stacked

RAM is a sore subject for everyone in the PC building community right now. It’s currently difficult to wholeheartedly recommend RAM for a system, so if you find DDR5 RAM at a price you can justify, we’d go with that, too. In a market where prices aren’t heavily inflated, we would say this 32GB RAM at around 6000 MT/s with a CAS latency of CL36 or lower would be the perfect choice for this gaming build. This kit is stunning and built with high-quality materials. Corsair has proven to be a reliable brand for RAM over the years, and the RGB lighting can be synced with the rest of the Corsair components using Corsair’s iCUE software, solidifying our choice for this rig.

SSD

Lexar EQ790

MPI_Lexar EQ790 1TB

The Lexar EQ790 is a brilliant M.2 NVMe drive that delivers top-end Gen4 performance, whilst remaining a stellar budget option for January 2026. During our testing, we found that the EQ790 pulled 7070 MB/s for sequential reads and 5410 MB/s for sequential writes at the 1TB capacity, which is the one we are recommending. We also use this drive in some of our other GeekaPC prebuilts due to its proven reliability and slightly more affordable price. Whilst 1TB of storage isn’t really enough for modern gaming, this Gen4 drive will perfectly occupy the PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot on the GIGABYTE B850 EAGLE WIFI 7 ICE until the market returns to a point where you can purchase a reasonably priced Gen5 drive.

Inside, Corsair’s innovative InfiniRail mounting system simplifies radiator and fan installation. Both the top and front panels support a wide range of 120mm and 140mm fan positions, giving you the freedom to fine‑tune your cooling layout with precision. The front IO is positioned at the lower edge of the front panel - ideal for desk‑mounted setups, though slightly less accessible when placed on the floor.

The Frame 4000D includes three pre‑installed 120mm ARGB fans to kickstart your airflow and lighting setup. While it lacks a rear exhaust fan out of the box, adding one completes a traditional airflow configuration - and the overall affordability of the case helps offset that extra purchase.

PSU

Corsair RM750E

MPI_Corsair RM750e White

The Corsair RM750e was a no-brainer choice for this PC build. The power supply is completely modular, and all cables are colour-matched, a feature that really does matter beyond surface-level appearances. This addition really helped bring the all-white theme to life. The RM750e has achieved ATX 3.1 certification, PCIe 5.1 compliance, and Cybenetics Platinum-rated efficiency for a quiet, reliable build. We've opted for the 750W model, as our RX 9070 XT OC requires a minimum of 750W.

Call of Duty: Black Ops 7 produced some unusual and inconsistent results. Despite repeated benchmarking at both 1440p and 4K, the game appeared to run slightly better at 4K, with higher averages and stronger 1% and 0.1% lows. This suggests an optimisation quirk or engine-level behaviour that favours higher resolutions on this hardware configuration. Regardless, both resolutions remained comfortably above 100 FPS, keeping gameplay responsive and competitive. With Cyberpunk 2077, one of the most demanding titles on the market, the system continues to impress. At 1440p, the average of 145.7 FPS is a welcome sight, especially given the game’s reputation for punishing even high-end GPUs. Even at 4K, performance remains smooth, hovering around 78 FPS in the most challenging scenes - a testament to the system’s raw rendering power and ability to maintain stability under heavy load. Finally, Marvel Rivals delivered an average framerate of 132.6 FPS at 1440p, resulting in consistently smooth gameplay. During more intense sequences, the framerate can dip to around 90 FPS, but this remains well within the range of fluid, responsive motion. At 4K, the system still holds a respectable 81 FPS average, ensuring the game feels lively and reactive across both resolutions.
