Custom Budget Gaming PC - Ryzen 5 4500, Radeon RX 6400, 8GB DDR4, 500GB NVMe

This compact Micro-ATX system is optimized for budget-conscious gamers and general users who want a ready-to-use PC with assembly and OS/drivers installation included. It’s built around a Gigabyte A520M motherboard, AMD Ryzen 5 4500 CPU and a SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX 6400 4GB low-profile GPU, paired with a 500GB NVMe SSD for fast boot and load times.

• Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 4500 (6-core / 12-thread, up to 4.1GHz)
• Motherboard: Gigabyte A520M K V2 (Micro-ATX, 1x M.2 PCIe 3.0)
• Graphics: SAPPHIRE Pulse Radeon RX 6400 4GB GDDR6 (Low-profile)
• Memory: Kingston ValueRAM 8GB DDR4 3200MHz (single DIMM)
• Storage: Kingston NV3 500GB M.2 NVMe (PCIe 4.0 x4, backward compatible)
• Cooling: Arctic Freezer 8A low-profile CPU cooler + Arctic P12 Silent 120mm case fan
• Case: Armaggeddon Aquaron Micro ATX (compact, supports Micro-ATX)
• PSU: Enermax MaxPro IV 550W non-modular (80 PLUS)
• Service: PC Assembly + OS & Drivers Installation included

Upgrade notes: installing a second identical DDR4 module will enable dual-channel memory and noticeably improve gaming and general performance. The NVMe drive is PCIe 4.0 capable but will run at the motherboard’s M.2 interface speed (PCIe 3.0); the RX 6400 is low-power and pairs well with the 550W PSU but upgrading RAM to 16GB is recommended for heavier titles.

Performance Projections:

• Popular AAA Games (Cyberpunk 2077, Starfield): 1080p ~30–45 FPS (low–medium settings), 1440p ~18–30 FPS (low settings), 4K <15–20 FPS (not recommended).
• High Player Count/Competitive Games (Warzone, Apex Legends, Valorant): 1080p ~60–200 FPS depending on title and settings (Valorant ~120–200 FPS on low, Apex/Warzone ~60–100 FPS on lower settings), 1440p ~45–120 FPS (Valorant and other lighter competitive titles remain very playable).
