This might not be the latest or the best-of-the-best hardware available today, but it offers good enough performance for a reasonable price, especially now that memory and storage are in short supply (and pricey!). One of the things that we love about ABS is that it shows you the exact make and model of the parts that it’s going to put into your pre-built, thus avoiding any unpleasant surprises.

Aside from the components specified in the intro, you’re also getting an ASRock B760M-C/D4 motherboard, a Gamdias Boreas E1 air cooler, a Gamdias Flux II 650W 80+ Gold PSU, and a Gamdias Flux II PC case. We also checked out the individual prices of each component and found that you’d actually save more than $200 compared to buying each part and building this system yourself.

You will miss out on DDR5 when you go for this pre-built PC, but you’re also saving a lot of money with the way memory prices are going these days. The Intel i5-14400F also falls behind comparable AMD processors, but the rush to build gaming PCs with older (and cheaper) memory modules has gotten to the point that AM4 X3D processors are now more expensive than brand-new AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D chips because of demand skewed by the memory market. As for its graphics card, the RTX 5060 is Tom’s Hardware’s chosen option for the best GPU at the $300 price range, giving you a lot of bang for your buck.
