Why This Build
This budget all-around build proves you do not need to spend a fortune to game on PC. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X and Intel Arc B570 deliver solid 1080p performance in 2026. AM4 platform pricing keeps the total cost down - cheap CPUs, affordable motherboards, and widely available DDR4 (though RAM prices have risen due to the shortage).

Frequently Asked Questions
Why did you pick the AMD Ryzen 5 5600X for this build?
The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X has a gaming score of 75/100 and costs $111.7. At the $750 price point, it provides the best balance of multi-threaded and gaming performance without overspending on the CPU at the expense of the GPU. It is a strong match for the Intel Arc B570 at this budget.
Can this build handle 1440p gaming?
This build is optimized for 1080p gaming. At 1440p you will need to lower settings significantly. For consistent 1440p performance, consider stepping up to a higher budget tier.
What should I upgrade first on this build?
The GPU is where you will see the biggest gains when upgrading. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X has plenty of headroom to drive a faster GPU. When GPU prices come down or next-gen cards launch, a GPU swap is the easiest way to boost performance on this build.
Is 550W 80+ Bronze enough power for this build?
Yes. The AMD Ryzen 5 5600X (65W TDP) and Intel Arc B570 (150W TDP) draw approximately 215W combined under load. The 550W 80+ Bronze provides comfortable headroom for peak power spikes and ensures stable, efficient operation. We always recommend at least 25% headroom above your system's total draw.
