Introduction
This PC will provide strong performance in popular titles like Valorant, Fortnite, and more without being hard to build or too expensive. It will handle high settings in 1080p when playing the latest games.
CPU and Cooler
The Ryzen 5 7600 is the heart of this AMD build. It's overclockable so we added the Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 SE ARGB CPU Air cooler for moderate overclocking without overheating.
Motherboard
We picked a simple B650M K mATX board with USB-C support. It has the latest DDR5 RAM support along with 2.5GBE ethernet.
Memory
16GB DDR5-5200 RAM works in conjunction with the Ryzen 7000 series for performance. Faster options are available if desired. You can also go with 2x16GB configuration.
Storage
A 500GB SSD loads everything fast as well as boots fast. Adjust capacity as needed. Can also add HDD if you need more storage.
GPU
The RTX 3050 crushes 60fps at 1080p or even 1440p on lower settings. Good for AAA games and for VR too.
Case
The Lian Li LANCOOL 215 X Mid Tower provides a modern lean, minimalist look with tinted glass, mesh front panel, and handy cable management.
PSU
A quality 80+ Bronze unit from Antec provides reliable power.
