CLX Ra TGMRAARTZ5706BM 2025, Ryzen 9 9950X3D, 96GB, 4TB SSD, RTX 5090, Black

The CLX Ra is a spec-sheet monster that makes almost everything else look mid. Just be ready to pay flagship money and hope the reliability holds up.

The spec sheet reads like a wish list. The 9950X3D is one of the best gaming CPUs on the market right now, and pairing it with an RTX 5090 means 4K ray tracing won't even make this thing break a sweat. The 96GB of RAM is overkill for gaming but perfect for AI workloads and heavy video editing, which explains why our AI and creator scores land in the low 90s. The Samsung 9100 PRO 4TB drive is a standout too, Gen5 speeds make load times basically disappear. What surprised us most is the port situation. 15 USB-A ports plus 4 USB-C and Thunderbolt is just showing off, and we're here for it.

Against the Lenovo Legion 90Y6003JUS and HP OMEN GT22-3080, the CLX Ra wins on raw specs. The 9950X3D and RTX 5090 combo outclasses both, and the 96GB of RAM is double what most competitors offer. The MSI MEG Vision X AI is the closest rival, also built for AI workloads, but it doesn't match the CLX's port selection or storage speed. The Alienware Aurora ACT1250 is cheaper but feels like a toy next to this thing. If you want the absolute best and don't care about the price, the CLX is the pick. If you want 90% of the performance for 60% of the cost, the Legion is the smarter buy.

Here's the thing. This rig costs between $10,000 and $12,300 depending on the vendor, and that $2,300 spread is not pocket change. Best Buy has the lowest listing at $10,000, so if you're buying, that's the one to grab. Is it worth it? If you need a machine that can game, render, and run local AI models without flinching, yes. But you're paying a serious premium for the CLX name and that fancy AMOLED cooler screen. A comparable DIY build would save you a chunk of cash, but you'd lose the warranty and the out-of-box experience.

This is the kind of rig you buy when you're done messing around. The CLX Ra packs a Ryzen 9 9950X3D, an RTX 5090 with 32GB of VRAM, 96GB of DDR5, and a 4TB Gen5 SSD into a Phanteks Evolv X2 chassis that actually looks like it costs this much. It's a flagship build in every sense, and our database puts the port selection and CPU at the absolute top of the charts. The one thing to know? It's a monster, but you'll pay monster money for it.

If you're just gaming at 1440p or you don't touch AI workloads, this is overkill and you know it. Go grab a rig with a 4070 Ti Super or 4080 Super and spend the leftover $4,000 on a killer monitor and a vacation. Also, if you need something portable or you move your setup often, the 20kg weight and mid-tower size will drive you nuts. This is a desk anchor, not a LAN party machine.

Buy it if you want a no-compromise flagship and you've got the budget. The CLX Ra is a genuine powerhouse that will handle anything you throw at it for years. But go in with your eyes open on reliability, our data shows a weak spot there, and that's a real concern at this price. If you're not doing AI work or heavy content creation, you're paying for headroom you'll never use.
