This article showcases a mid-range gaming PC build that utilizes AMD and Intel components instead of the popular Nvidia setup. The author highlights the ease of assembly, particularly thanks to the motherboard's quick-release SSD slots and single-cable cooling system. The build focuses on value and performance, featuring an Intel Core Ultra 5 245K CPU, ASRock Z890 Steel Legend WiFi motherboard, AMD Radeon GPU, and Solidigm P44 Pro 1 TB SSD.
Everyone is talking about Nvidia these days. The gaming graphics card company, turned datacentre company, turned AI company, turned Wall Street darling… even my Nan asked me about them recently. But today is not Nvidia's day. Nope, this build is powered by AMD and Intel parts, working in total synchronicity.
As mentioned above, this gaming PC is built on Intel's latest processor platform, Arrow Lake, and the Z890 chipset. I've opted for ASRock's Z890 Steel Legend WiFi to provide the necessary LGA1851 socket required for the Core Ultra 5 245K, though it's a stellar choice for a few reasons. Namely, the RGB light bar along the lower SSD slots.
The Dark Rock 5 didn't cause any compatibility issues with the RAM I've chosen for this build: Corsair's Vengeance RGB DDR5-6600 32 GB. This Vengeance gear isn't like the stuff of yore, it's still rather large for all the RGB LEDs stuffed under the hood.
The final two pieces of the puzzle are the MSI MAG A850GL PCIE5 PSU, which needn't be PCIe 5.0 for AMD's card, which lacks 12VHPWR or 12x6 connectors, but feels the right choice for longevity . Then, last but not least, the Be Quiet! Shadow Base 800 FX.The Shadow Base 800 FX is wicked. Partially that's because of its simplicity and spaciousness. There's ample room for near-enough anything inside this case.
