Building a gaming PC for 2025 can be a tedious affair in more ways than one. With many choices in terms of aesthetics, utility, and performance tiers, it can be easy to get caught up with the sheer number of options one has.
Not all of these are equal contenders however and while it does take some time to sift through them some options are simply superior due to a mix of product quality, bleeding edge features, and design ethos that accompany them.

HYTE: A Premium Choice For PC Builds
Launched in 2021 by the team atiBUYPOWER,HYTEis one of the brands one needs to keep an eye on thanks to it currently being one of the top contenders when it comes to PC peripherals in terms of design and innovation alike. Much of its fame comes from its well-receivedPC casesincluding the HYTE Y60 (and its successor, the Y70) in particular.
This positions it as one of the best brands to go for when building a new PC or going for a new premium aesthetic. The team at Game Rant has handpicked some of our favorites from HYTE’s burgeoning arsenal of cases, keyboards, and more to list some of the most compelling PC upgrades you can go to kick off the new year.
HYTE’s Y70: The All-White Touch Infinite And Strawberry Milk

HYTE Y70 Strawberry Milk
The HYTE Y70 comes in a variety of colors, but the Strawberry Milk version from its line of “Milky” cases is perhaps one of the boldest color choices out there, catering to users wanting a different aesthetic or for those wanting to build a pink-themed PC with a case to match.Like with the Y70 Touch Infinite, It supports quad-slot GPUs, a dual 360mm radiator configuration, and conceals cabling particularly well thanks to its dual chamber design.
The HYTE Y70 Touch Infinite is one of the most premium cases on the market and comes with a price tag to match the fact that it throws in not only an integrated vertical GPU mount HYTE’s cases are famous for but also adds an impressive 14.9" 2.5K resolution display into the frame that when paired with HYTE’s Nexus Link software, offers a precedented level of personalization and expression to any user’s gaming setup. offers 10-point multi-touch. Out of the box, the Y70 Touch Infinite also allows for users to side-mount or top-mount a tri-fan AIO, effectively allowing them to opt for both, CPU and GPU AIO coolers in the same case.
For those who do not need the screen or wish to consider it later, HYTE does sell them separately while offering the base Y70 for $220 versus $380 for the Touch Infinite. All in all, with a plethora of colors like its Milky series of cases that come in Strawberry, Blueberry, and Taro Milk, plenty of expansion and modularity in play, and a more premium option in tow, the HYTE Y70 is an excellent case upgrade at two different price points depending on your needs.
The HYTE Keeb TKL And A CNVS To Go With It
HYTE Keeb TKL
The HYTE Keeb TKL is a premium-grade gaming keyboard that offers 1000Hz polling, lubed ‘Fluffy Lavender’ switches and 155 pixel qRGB lighting making it one of the most unique design takes on what a modern high-end gaming keyboard should look like.
HYTE CNVS Play Mat
The HYTE CNVS Play Mat is a high-end gaming mat that offers enough space for both, a full-sized keyboard and a mouse to boot. It comes with a non-slip base, a 50-pixel qRGB array for customizable lighting and a detachable USB-C to C cable for power.
Users looking to deck out their desks with an excellent RGB-lit gaming keyboard should really consider the HYTE KEEB TKL, which offers adjustable typing angles, pre-lubed linear switches, and dual onboard profiles. Users can customize their KEEB thanks to the ability to use other mechanical switches (the KEEB comes with a 5-pin North Facing Hot-Swap PCB) and as many as an unmatched 155 RGB lighting zones on the keyboard, something that HYTE calls its qRGB array.
The qRGB array can be complemented by the HYTE CNVS Play Mat, which offers support for 50 zones (pixels) of the same while offering plenty of space, a smooth surface, and a non-stick base in play. The CNVS is also water and stain-resistant while being easy to move around thanks to a detachable USB-C cord that also comes with an adapter for users wanting to use a USB-A port.
Both the KEEB and the CNVS are compatible with HYTE’s Nexus Link software but if you are already using HYTE’s Y70 Touch Infinite above or the THICC Q60 below, chances are you already have it running from the get-go.
HYTE’s THICC Q60 AIO: All Eyes On Display
HYTE THICC Q60 AIO Cooler
The HYTE THICC Q60 AIO Cooler is a performance-grade CPU cooler that comes with a mammoth 5-inch display making it one of the largest LCD AIO options on the market.It also comes with a dual-pump design that can push up to 4500 RPM for demanding CPUs even as it offers one of the best radiator and fan combinations available in the 240mm segment.
Arguably saving the best for last, the HYTE THICC Q60 AIO offers one of the largest screens in the business, delivering on its promise with a 5-inch ultraslim IPS display that refreshes at an impressive 60Hz refresh rate (by AIO display standards) while leveraging a high resolution 720 x 1280 display that can be configured via HYTE’s Nexus Link software.
There is considerably more to the HYTE THICC Q60 than just looks however: it offers a dual-pump design that can be adjusted from 2000 to as much as 4500 RPM depending on your PC’s thermal needs even as it runs quieter than the competition.
Part of the reason why the Q60 is such a potent player and priced for perfection is that it delivers on the latter by leveraging one of the thickest radiators in the business, allowing it to do more in a 240mm form factor than most 360mm alternatives with a 52mm thick radiator as part of its offering.
At $200 (factoring in a $100 on-site discount at the time of writing), it isn’t the cheapest cooler in the business, but it is one of the most performant options out there, coming with a concealed cable harness to allow for a cleaner looking installation and an industry-leading 6-year warranty which means it should see multiple CPU upgrades for most users through with relative ease.
PSA:For those that are looking for a 360mm cooler, HYTE announced at CES theirTHICC Q80 Trio AIO cooler, which offers even more cooling capabilities that is now paired with a 360mm radiator, is now available for pre-order at $319.99
