Build Overview
This budget-oriented build isn’t going to let you max games out on a 1440P or 4K monitor, but it will allow you to jump into your favorite games at 1080P resolution.
It comes with an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor, an ASRock B450M-HDV microATX motherboard, an MSI RTX 3050 graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 memory from OLOy, a 500GB Gen3 NVME SSD from PNY, a Cooler Master Q300L microATX case, and a 650-watt power supply from MSI.
Performance Targets
The combination of the Ryzen 5 5500, the RTX 3050, and the 16GB memory will have this build running non-demanding titles (like Minecraft, Roblox, Rocket League, League of Legends, etc.) with no problems.
It will also handle competitive titles (like Fortnite, Valorant, Warzone, Marvel Rivals) reasonably well, too.
For more GPU-intensive titles (like Black Myth Wukong, the new Indiana Jones, Assassin’s Creed, etc.) you will need to turn some settings down, but you should still be able to play them at lower-to-medium settings.
SSD, Case, and PSU
The build does come with a PNY 500GB Gen3 NVME SSD, so you will get decent transfer speeds. However, with modern games continually getting bigger, 500GB of space is going to fill up fast. We recommend that you add additional storage as soon as you can to this build.
The Cooler Master Q300L is the component in this build that comes with the biggest discount, currently coming in at $21 cheaper than its original price. This isn’t the greatest case in the world, but it’ll house this system with no problems. This microATX case has a tempered glass side panel, can hold graphics cards up to 360mm long, and fit CPU coolers up to 159mm tall. So, it is definitely capable of holding bigger and better graphics cards when you’re ready to upgrade.
And, with the MSI MAG A650BN power supply (currently $12 off) you have enough overhead to handle a mid-range graphics card upgrade when you have the budget for it.
