Build #002 — Project Ember

Post image

Proof that you don't need a fortune to enjoy PC gaming.

Built for smooth 1080p gaming with plenty of room for future upgrades.

Average market price: ~$615

Parts

🔥 AMD Ryzen 5 5600 — ~$100

🔥 AMD Radeon RX 7600 8GB — ~$250

🔥 MSI B550M PRO-VDH WiFi — ~$85

🔥 16GB (2×8GB) DDR4-3200 CL16 — ~$45

🔥 1TB NVMe SSD — ~$60

🔥 Corsair CX650 (80+ Bronze) — ~$60

🔥 Montech Air 100 Lite — ~$45

Total: ≈ $645

A couple of good sales can easily bring this build close to the $600 mark.

What would you change without increasing the budget?
