This is a $700 custom gaming pc you can build yourself for Black Friday and Cyber Monday that will almost go toe to toe with a PS5 Pro! It's also an affordable gaming pc that'll achieve modest 1440p gaming performance anywhere from 60-240fps depending on the game.
As with all budget pc builds on pcbuilds.gg, the Ryzen 5 5600 is the chosen gaming CPU of choice given it's excellent price (especially on Aliexpress), best in class performance for it's segment, and 6 core 12 thread cpu layout for optimal cpu processing capabilities while on a budget.
Like other budget AMD Ryzen based builds on pcbuilds.gg, the only kind of motherboard you need to pair with this caliber of gaming pc is a standard B550 motherboard in the micro atx variant, since this needs to fit inside a micro atx case. The chosen B550 motherboard also supports pci gen 4.0 on both the express lane and m.2 slot for this $700 gaming pc.
Like other AM4 based builds on pcbuilds.gg, 16gb of DDR4 memory is all you need to acquire excellent gaming performance from this $700 gaming pc for the RAM. Additionally, this ram is clocked at 3200mhz with a CAS latency of 16, which is standard for a $700 gaming pc like this.
A 1TB M.2 NVMe SSD as well will satisfy the storage needs for this pc, although if you need more, then feel free to use any of the recommended 2TB M.2 SSDs from other build guides for this $700 gaming pc build.
Above all though, the majority of the budget behind this $700 gaming pc will be used for the graphics card, which can either be the Radeon RX 6750 XT 12GB or Radeon RX 7600 XT 16GB graphics cards. The Radeon RX 6750XT 12GB is recommended more so over the 7600 XT since it is the faster GPU all-around, but the 7600 XT 16GB is a nice alternative if you want a graphics card with even more VRAM that can take advantage of FSR4 AI based FPS upscaling when that eventually releases.
For the power supply, a standard yet reliable 650W 80+ bronze PSU is all you need for the Ryzen 5 5600 + Radeon RX 6750XT 12GB/Radeon RX 7600 XT cpu and gpu combo chosen for this $700 gaming pc.
The last component you'd need for this $700 gaming pc will be an affordable micro atx pc case, like the one choosen for this gaming pc. The included fans with the case will be compatible with the motherboard chosen for this $700 gaming pc build guide.
A 2560x1440 high refresh rate monitor is also recommended for this PC, like the one linked above. Once again, consider building this pc to take advantage of Black Friday and Cyber Monday deals.
