AMD Gaming Build [$1,515]
Description
Introduction
An all-AMD gaming PC on the AM5 platform: a modern Ryzen CPU, a 16GB Radeon video card, DDR5 memory, and a fast NVMe SSD. It is built for high settings at 1080p and 1440p in today's most popular games, with an upgrade path for future Ryzen CPUs.
Every part was picked from current listings for the best combination of price and compatibility, and the whole list comes to $1,515.03, $315.81 below the parts' reference prices. Prices were checked when this page was last updated and can change, so the total updates with every refresh.
CPU and Cooler
The AMD Ryzen 5 7600X 6-Core is a 6-core processor on the AM5 socket with integrated graphics. For gaming, a fast six-core-or-better CPU paired with a capable video card delivers high frame rates without overspending on cores most games do not use.
For cooling we added the Thermalright Assassin X120 Refined SE CPU Air Cooler, an air cooler that lists support for AM5, AM4. This CPU does not include a cooler in the box, so one is required.
Motherboard
The ASRock A620AM-HVS AMD Ryzen 9000/8000 / 7000 Series CPU Compatible (Soket AM5) A620A Micro ATX Motherboard is a Micro-ATX board that matches the CPU's AM5 socket and takes DDR5 memory. It is the lowest-cost compatible board in our current listings, which leaves more of the budget for the parts that affect frame rates.
Memory
32GB of DDR5 at 5600 MT/s (TEAMGROUP T-Create Classic 10L DDR5 32GB Kit (2 x 16GB) 5600MHz (PC5-44800) CL46 Intel XMP 3.0 & AMD EXPO...). 32GB is the comfortable amount for modern games with a browser, voice chat, and streaming software running in the background. See our guide to how much RAM you need.
Storage
The Fanxiang 1TB NVMe SSD PCIe Gen4 M.2 Internal Gaming SSD for PS5 is a 1TB NVMe. A solid state drive makes the PC boot, open apps, and load games far faster than a hard drive. Games keep growing, so 1TB is the practical minimum for a gaming PC.
Video Card
The ASUS Dual Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB GDDR6 Gaming Graphics Card with 16GB of video memory is the heart of this gaming build. 16GB of video memory leaves headroom for high-resolution textures in new releases.
Compare it with other options in our guide to choosing a graphics card.
Case
The ASUS A31 ATX Mid-Tower PC Case fits ATX, Micro-ATX, Mini-ITX boards, so it holds this Micro-ATX motherboard with room to spare.
Power Supply
We estimate this build draws about 377W at full load, so we recommend at least 550W. The Segotep 650W ATX Power Supply provides 650W and is 80 Plus Gold rated, which leaves headroom for upgrades and keeps the fan quiet.
