Custom Gaming PC - Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 5050, 16GB DDR4, 1TB NVMe

This custom gaming PC pairs the 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with a Palit GeForce RTX 5050 StormX 8GB, delivering a smooth 1080p gaming experience and competent 1440p performance for many titles. The ASRock A520M-HDV micro-ATX motherboard, 16GB Kingston FURY Beast DDR4-3200 and a 1TB Kingston NV3 NVMe provide a responsive system for gaming, streaming light content, and everyday use.

Highlights:

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (6 cores / 12 threads) — good single-thread and multi-thread gaming performance.
• GPU: Palit GeForce RTX 5050 8GB GDDR6 — modern features and HDMI/DisplayPort outputs for high refresh monitors.
• Storage: Kingston NV3 1TB M.2 NVMe for fast boot and load times (note: board may limit NVMe speed to its supported lane generation).
• Cooling & fit: Arctic Alpine 23 low-profile cooler and Kolink VOID RGB mid-tower provide compatible cooling and clearance.

This configuration is optimized for 1080p high settings in modern titles, excellent for esports and solid for AAA gaming at medium to high settings depending on resolution.
