Falcon Northwest has built a cult-like following behind its high-end desktops, and it’s easy to see why the brand is so beloved by gamers and creators. Performance-packed specs, like AMD’s 12-core Ryzen 3900X CPU, coupled with the company’s immaculate attention to detail, unrivaled construction, and sleek design give the venerable Talon the chops to go toe-to-toe with Apple’s Mac Pro.

Custom-built from the ground up, Falcon Northwest had re-envisioned its famed desktop with modern amenities. For the first time in its history, the Talon 20th Anniversary Edition finally embraces LED backlighting, and the result is nothing short of stunning. Suicide-style doors and subtle glowing accents help give this understated, all-black metal-clad bad boy an edge without making it appear too aggressive. This is a desktop that’s designed to last — and outlast — you, thanks to its highly upgradeable design and unbreakable build quality.

It’s not all looks, though, and thankfully the Talon 20th Anniversary has the brawn and brains to take on the best workstations. With plenty of internal space to support dual graphics cards, custom cooling solutions, and upgrades for storage and memory, the Talon has been an instrumental tool for NASA researchers and virtual reality developers at Facebook’s Oculus alike. With great powers comes great responsibility, so the question is what will you do with this unstoppable desktop if you win?

Full specs:

  • AMD Ryzen 9 3900X 12-Core CPU
  • Asetek 280mm Gen6 liquid cooling
  • ASUS ROG X570 chipset motherboard
  • 32GB G.Skill 3,200 MHz RGB

Nvidia’s RTX 5060 might lack one key spec, but there’s still hope

Nvidia's RTX 5060 and RTX 5060 Ti are reportedly right around the corner, but how will they compare to some of the best graphics cards? That's still a big unknown. However, more and more leaks confirm one specification that I really hoped Nvidia would've upgraded this time around: A really narrow memory bus.

According to a new shipping manifest, the RTX 5060 Ti and the RTX 5060 will both feature a 128-bit memory bus, and that's regardless of the amount of VRAM. Here's why that's not enough for 2025, but also why Nvidia might get away with this one more time.
