Corsair has announced Bulldog, the first DIY PC to bring 4K gaming to your living room.

Bulldog comes in a kit that you put together yourself, and is comprised of a console-sized chassis, liquid CPU cooler, power supply and motherboard. It offers plenty of space for customization and upgrades and will retail for a mere $399 to start.

While Xbox One and PS4 consoles are fighting resolution battles over a mere 1080p (and oftentimes failing), PC gamers are becoming increasingly used to 4K resolutions. The issue with 4K-capable PCs is that they require a lot of power and run really hot, which is why Corsaid engineered Bulldog with liquid GPU and CPU coolers, to ensure it runs cooler and quieter.

They have also partnered with NVIDIA and MSI to integrate Corsair liquid cooling technology into GeForce graphics cards. The cards will be made available by MSI and will include initially include the GeForce GTX Titan X, GTX 980, GTX 970, and the just-announced GeForce GTX 980 Ti. You can choose from any OS as well: Windows, SteamOS, or Linux.


“Bulldog is designed to take the 4K gaming experience delivered by desktop gaming PCs, and bring it to the big 4K screens in the home,” said Andy Paul, CEO of Corsair Components. “We knew we needed to deliver a solution that was elegant, powerful, and compact. By leveraging our leading expertise in PC case design and liquid cooling, we met that goal with Bulldog. We can’t wait to unleash it on gamers this fall.”

Giving the increasing popularity of 4K TVs, it's likely that your next TV upgrade will be one, if it isn't already. That means that you need a gaming system that will take advantage of it, and why Bulldog seems well worth looking into.
