Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation – Built in the UK

The Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation is a built-to-order Ryzen 9 high performance workstation, with a 12 core, 24 thread AMD Ryzen 9 9900X, for video editing, design, photography and demanding business workloads.

If you need a Ryzen 9 high performance workstation that can take on heavy professional work without moving up to a multi-GPU or server-class system, this build is a strong place to start. It pairs the AMD Ryzen 9 9900X with 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz memory, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB graphics card, a fast 1TB WD Blue SN5100 NVMe SSD and a 4TB hard drive for project storage, all supplied with Windows 11 Professional. Use the customise button to change any part, and the “Ask a question” form if you would like advice on the configuration that best suits your work.

The Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation is built on an AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor with 12 cores and 24 threads on an ASUS PRIME X870-P WIFI ATX motherboard. It has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB GDDR7 graphics card, 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz memory, a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD and a 4TB 3.5in SATA hard drive, and it runs genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Professional. It is cooled by a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB air cooler, powered by a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 PSU, housed in a Be Quiet! Pure Base 600 Black case and covered by a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Twelve-core AMD Ryzen 9 9900X processor

The AMD Ryzen 9 9900X has 12 cores and 24 threads, a 4.4GHz base clock, up to 5.6GHz maximum turbo and 64MB of L3 cache, on the AM5 socket. The high core count suits multi-threaded work such as video encoding in HandBrake, CPU rendering in Blender and exporting projects from Premiere Pro. The high turbo clock keeps lightly threaded tools such as Photoshop and Lightroom Classic responsive. The processor also includes integrated graphics. Cooling comes from a Thermalright Phantom Spirit 120 SE ARGB dual-tower air cooler, 155mm tall and rated at 280W, which leaves headroom for long sustained workloads.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti has 8GB of GDDR7 memory and 4608 cores, with a 180W power rating. It accelerates viewports, timeline playback and effects, and it is well matched to 4K H.264 and HEVC editing using proxy workflows in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The 8GB of video memory is the figure to weigh up. Very large scenes, 8K RAW footage or heavy GPU rendering call for a card with more VRAM, and you can choose one in the configurator. The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs for up to four monitors, although the layout may vary by card brand.

Memory and storage with room to grow

The 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 6000MHz CL36 memory is fitted as two 16GB modules in dual channel. The board has four DIMM slots with two in use and supports up to 256GB, so you can add memory as your projects grow. The 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, rated at 7100MB/s read and 6700MB/s write, holds Windows and your applications. The 4TB Seagate BarraCuda 3.5in SATA hard drive (5400rpm) suits archives and finished projects. There are four M.2 slots (PCIe 5.0 x4, two PCIe 4.0 x4 and one PCIe 3.0 x2) with three free, and two SATA 6Gb/s ports with one free. The case has mounts for three 3.5″ and eight 2.5″ drives.

Case, cooling and power

The Be Quiet! Pure Base 600 Black is a mid tower in solid steel, which suits a workstation that sits on or beside a desk. It comes with a 120mm rear fan and a 140mm front fan pre-installed, and the system is air-cooled rather than using liquid cooling. The case measures 492mm deep, 220mm wide and 470mm high. Power comes from a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 PSU, which is non-modular.

Connectivity and ports

The AMD X870 chipset on the ASUS PRIME X870-P WIFI motherboard brings built-in Wi-Fi 7, Bluetooth 5.4, 2.5GbE Realtek wired networking and 7.1 channel High Definition Audio. The rear panel has 2 x USB4 Type-C, 1 x Type-A 10Gbps, 3 x Type-A 5Gbps, 4 x USB 2.0 and a 2.5GbE Ethernet port. The two USB4 Type-C ports support DisplayPort video output, and the board also has an HDMI 2.1 port. The front panel has 2 x USB 3.0 Type-A, a headphone jack and a microphone jack. Beyond the graphics card there are three further PCIe 4.0 x16-size slots, each running at x1. No keyboard or mouse is included, so add your own from the buttons below.

Windows 11 Professional

Microsoft Windows 11 Professional is supplied genuine and pre-installed. Compared with Home it adds BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop and domain join, which matter when the workstation is used in a business or studio environment.

Ideal for

• Video editors working with 4K H.264 and HEVC footage using proxy workflows
• Photographers and designers using Photoshop and Lightroom Classic
• Professionals who run rendering, encoding and exports in the background while they work
• Small businesses and studios that need Windows 11 Professional with BitLocker, Remote Desktop and domain join

The Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation gives you a 12 core, 24 thread processor, 32GB of fast DDR5 6000MHz memory, NVMe and bulk storage with free slots to expand, and a solid steel mid tower case. That makes it a well-balanced Ryzen 9 high performance workstation for professionals who want strong multi-core performance without paying for a larger system. Every part can be changed in the configurator if your workload needs more graphics memory, more RAM or more storage.

Built to order and tested in the UK by Punch Technology, every system comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, backed by over 30 years of PC building experience and our status as an AMD Elite System Builder. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation best for?

The Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation is primarily a processor-led professional workstation for 4K video editing with proxy workflows, photography, design work and heavy multi-tasking. Its strength is the 12 core, 24 thread Ryzen 9 9900X backed by 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory and fast NVMe storage. The 8GB graphics card suits general creative and design acceleration rather than the largest GPU-bound jobs.

In practice that means editing and exporting 4K H.264 and HEVC projects in Premiere Pro or DaVinci Resolve using proxies, transcoding batches of files in HandBrake, and rendering Blender projects on the CPU. It also covers retouching and cataloguing large image libraries in Photoshop and Lightroom Classic. Heavier work, such as 8K RAW editing or large GPU-rendered scenes, is better served by choosing a graphics card with more VRAM in the configurator.

Where does the Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation sit in the range?

Below it in the workstation range, the AutoCAD Revit 2026 Core i7 PC uses an Intel Core i7-14700KF with 20 cores, an NVIDIA RTX A1000 8GB card and 1TB of NVMe storage. The Performance PC for AutoCAD 2026 uses an Intel Core Ultra 7 265 with 20 cores, the same RTX A1000 8GB card and 2TB of NVMe storage. Above it, the AutoCAD Revit 2026 Performance Workstation is built on an Intel Core Ultra 9 285 with 24 cores and an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB card. The Power Desktop Tower UE5 Architecture Visualisation puts graphics first, with an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 with 8 cores and an RTX 5070 Ti 16GB card. This Ryzen 9 system is the choice when processor cores matter most, with 12 cores, 24 threads and a 4TB hard drive alongside its NVMe SSD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation edit 4K video in Premiere Pro?

Yes, it is well suited to 4K H.264 and HEVC editing using proxy workflows in Premiere Pro and DaVinci Resolve. The 12 core Ryzen 9 9900X, 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory and the 1TB WD Blue SN5100 NVMe SSD handle timelines and exports, and the RTX 5060 Ti accelerates playback and effects. It also runs Photoshop, Lightroom Classic, Blender and HandBrake. Very large GPU-rendered scenes and 8K RAW work are limited by the 8GB of video memory, so choose a card with more VRAM in the configurator for those.

Why does this PC come with Windows 11 Professional?

Windows 11 Professional adds BitLocker drive encryption, Remote Desktop and domain join, which Windows 11 Home does not offer. These features suit a workstation used in a business or studio, where you need to protect client data, connect remotely or join a company network. Windows is supplied genuine and pre-installed.

Can I add more memory or storage later?

Yes, there is room for both. The motherboard has four DIMM slots with two used by the two 16GB Kingston Fury Beast RGB modules, and it supports up to 256GB of memory. It also has four M.2 slots with three free, and two SATA 6Gb/s ports with one free. The case has mounts for three 3.5″ and eight 2.5″ drives.

How many monitors can I connect to the Professional Ryzen 9 High Performance Workstation?
