Sniper’s Choice Gaming PC

This Gaming Pc is exceptionally well-balanced for gaming at 1440p and beyond. It combines excellent cooling, aesthetics, and raw power, with room for minor upgrades as gaming demands evolve.

Core Gaming Performance Factors

1. CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7600X

   • 6 cores / 12 threads with a 5.3 GHz boost clock provides strong single-threaded performance, ideal for gaming. Its inclusion of Radeon Graphics (integrated GPU) is redundant since you’re using a discrete GPU (RX 7700 XT), but it’s useful as a fallback.
   • Gaming Performance: Excellent for gaming, especially in CPU-bound titles or at lower resolutions (1080p, high refresh rates).

2. GPU: Gigabyte AMD Radeon RX 7700 XT (12GB GDDR6)

   • A powerhouse for 1440p gaming, with solid performance in modern AAA titles and esports at high/ultra settings. The 12GB VRAM future-proofs it for texture-heavy games.
   • Its triple fan cooling design and factory overclock (OC) ensure sustained performance without thermal throttling.

3. Memory: 32GB DDR5 5600MHz (2x16GB)

   • Offers high bandwidth and is more than enough for gaming and streaming simultaneously. The speed (5600MHz) matches well with the Ryzen 7000 series, leveraging AMD's Infinity Fabric for latency optimization.

4. Storage: 1TB Kingston NV3 PCIe Gen4 NVMe SSD

   • Fast read (6000 MB/s) and write (4000 MB/s) speeds result in snappy load times for games, apps, and Windows 11. 1TB is sufficient for storing multiple modern AAA titles, but consider adding additional storage for an expanding library.

5. Cooling: CiT Pro Glacier Infinity AIO Cooler (240mm)

   • A solid AIO liquid cooler for the Ryzen 5 7600X. With ARGB fans, it keeps the CPU cool and visually enhances the build.

Supporting Components

1. Motherboard: Gigabyte B650M D3HP (Micro-ATX)

   • Supports DDR5 memory, PCIe Gen4, and USB-C. It includes dual M.2 slots for additional NVMe storage and 2.5GbE LAN for fast networking. It’s well-suited for this build but offers limited overclocking headroom compared to higher-end boards.

2. Power Supply: GIGABYTE GP-UD850GM (850W, 80+ Gold)

   • A fully modular 850W PSU ensures clean cable management and efficient power delivery. This wattage provides ample headroom for overclocking or future GPU upgrades.

3. Case: ANTEC AX90 Mid Tower

   • Excellent airflow with a diamond-mesh front panel and 4 pre-installed ARGB fans, ensuring low thermals and great aesthetics. The tempered glass panel showcases the components.

4. OS: Windows 11 Pro

   • Optimized for gaming with features like DirectStorage for faster game loading and AutoHDR for supported games.

Gaming Performance Expectations

• 1080p Gaming: Overkill; you’ll hit 200+ FPS in most games (CPU and GPU-dependent).
• 1440p Gaming: Perfect for ultra settings in modern titles, delivering 120-160 FPS in esports and 60-100 FPS in demanding AAA games.
• 4K Gaming: Capable of running most games at high settings with 50-80 FPS, depending on optimization.

Future-Proofing

• CPU and GPU: Strong for at least 3-5 years of gaming.
• RAM: 32GB DDR5 is ample for future titles and multitasking.
• Motherboard: Support for PCIe 5.0 (on GPU and M.2 slots) would have been ideal but isn’t critical for gaming today.

Potential Upgrade Paths

1. Storage: Add a secondary NVMe SSD or SATA SSD if needed.
2. CPU: In the future, upgrade to a higher-core-count Ryzen 7000-series processor (e.g., Ryzen 7 7800X3D) for better multitasking or gaming at higher resolutions.

These PCs are custom-built, fully tested systems and require 3 business days for assembly. The components may vary due to stock availability, and the picture is for illustration purposes only (this means that if one of the components is unavailable, we will replace it with another component of equal or greater quality at no extra cost; for example, if the 750W Antec 80+ Bronze PSU is out of stock, we would replace it with a 850W Antec 80+ Gold PSU).
