ArsenalPC AP202 Intel Core Ultra 9 285K 24 core 5.7GHz RTX 5090 32GB 2TB NVMe 128GB DDR5 1200W Liquid Cooled

Built for 4K gaming and heavy creative work

The ArsenalPC AP202 is a liquid-cooled desktop built around an Intel Core Ultra 9 285K with 24 cores at 5.7GHz and an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5090 with 32GB GDDR7. It ships with 128GB DDR5 across four slots, a 2TB NVMe SSD and a 1200W power supply running Windows 11 Home. It targets enthusiasts who need maximum single-thread speed and GPU memory for 4K gaming or rendering.

PCIe x16 and DDR5 slots set the upgrade ceiling

The graphics card uses a PCI Express x16 interface, so future GPU swaps are limited to cards that fit that slot and the 1200W budget. Memory runs as DDR5 only; the four slots are fully populated at 128GB, so adding capacity means replacing modules rather than filling gaps. Storage expands through the SATA III interface for additional drives, while the NVMe boot drive remains the primary high-speed volume.

Replaces a mid-range tower when 24-core throughput

Builders moving up from a 12 to 16 core system gain the headroom for simultaneous streaming, compile workloads and high-refresh 4K play. The jump is worth it when current hardware bottlenecks on core count or GPU VRAM, not when the workload fits comfortably on fewer threads or less graphics memory. The 360mm liquid cooler with LCD handles the thermal load of this configuration.
