Notes

A no-frills build that gives you solid performance now and a clear upgrade path for later. The Ryzen 5 8400F on AM5 means you're on AMD's latest platform, so CPU upgrades down the road are just a drop-in swap away. 16GB of RAM is the one trade-off here, but it's a smaller compromise than you'd think. This video (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj5v52R4qnk&t=613s) by Hardware Unboxed shows 16GB performing nearly on par with 32GB, provided your GPU has enough VRAM to pick up the slack. The 5060 Ti's 16GB of VRAM does exactly that. RGB is handled exclusively through SignalRGB. SignalRGB recently switched to a purchase-as-you-go model where basic effects are free. If you fancy a more complex effect, you pay once and unlock it forever. No subscriptions for RGB software. Performance-wise, PBO is enabled for a modest bump and I've set custom fan curves before shipping. The 360mm AIO keeps the 8400F well within safe temps, so there's plenty of thermal headroom should you ever swap in a beefier chip. The darkFlash PMT 850W sits at B-tier on the SPL PSU tier list (https://psutierlist.org/). A quality unit with a native 12VHPWR cable included, so you're ready for current and future GPUs without any adapters. With 850W on tap, there's plenty of room to grow into a stronger CPU and GPU combo down the line. This system comes with a fresh Windows 11 Home installation with preinstalled apps and will require initial setup on first boot. Preinstalled apps include SignalRGB, NVIDIA App, SanDisk Dashboard, and Steam.
