Coquette Two | RX 9070 16GB + Ryzen 5 7500F + 32GB | Ready-to-Go Gaming PC | PC36

🖤 Coquette Two

Restraint on the desk, none of it in a game

From across the room, Coquette Two is indistinguishable from the machine below it in this series. The same plain black steel, the same glass side, the same complete absence of anything that glows. All of the difference is in what happens once you sit down at it.

This is a 1440p machine you can stop thinking about the settings on. A Radeon RX 9070 with 16GB, a Ryzen 5 7500F on AM5 and 32GB of DDR5-6000 will run modern games at high to ultra without being asked twice, and 16GB of video memory at this price is genuinely unusual. RDNA 4 is also the generation where ray tracing on a Radeon became something you'd leave switched on rather than argue about.

It costs what it does because nothing ornamental survived. The money that would have gone on lighting, a showpiece chassis and a badge on the motherboard is in the graphics card instead, and the graphics card is the part you notice every single time you play.

🧬 Built to last, designed to evolve

Built on AMD's AM5 platform, which AMD have committed to supporting into 2027 and beyond, so the processor can be replaced without touching anything else. The board has a Gen5 graphics slot, a Gen5 M.2 with a second Gen4 slot free, and a Gen4 second graphics slot. One thing to know up front: this board has two memory slots, not four. Both are used, so going beyond 32GB later means replacing the pair rather than adding to it. We would rather tell you that now than let you find it in a manual. For a gaming machine, 32GB is the amount that matters and 64GB changes nothing in a game.

📃 Specifications

• 🧠 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 7500F
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 6 cores, 12 threads of Zen 4, boosting to 5.0GHz, with 32MB of L3 cache. 65W TDP, and in practice it boosts past that figure, drawing around 88W when every core is working
  • The cheapest sensible way onto AM5, and it is not a compromise. The 7500F is the same silicon as the 7600 with the integrated graphics disabled. If you have a discrete card, and you do, you were never going to use them
  • Even at that peak it is a modest heat load, and the tower cooler fitted is rated well beyond it, so it holds the boost clock with the fan still turning slowly. There is no thermal ceiling being hit here
  • Socket AM5, so the 7800X3D upgrade below is a drop-in change whenever you want it, and future AMD generations will fit this board too
• ❄️ CPU cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE Black, single tower air cooler
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 4 × 6mm direct-touch nickel-plated copper heatpipes through 51 aluminium fins, with a TL-C12C 120mm PWM fan turning up to 1550rpm. Plain black with no lighting, which is the version that belongs in a machine with nothing else glowing in it
  • Rated to 225W, against a processor that peaks around 88W. The gap is deliberate: the fan works at the slow end of its range, so the machine is quiet at the desktop and barely changes character under load. 66.17 CFM and 25.6 dBA at its maximum, which it has little reason to reach here
  • Mounted with Thermalright TF4 paste applied by hand rather than a pre-applied pad, and the fan curve set before it ships
  • 148mm tall, well inside the 165mm the case allows, and clear of the memory slots. If you take the 7800X3D upgrade this cooler still handles it, though the AIO option below is the better pairing
• 🔲 Motherboard: ASRock B850M-X WiFi R2.0 (micro-ATX)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • PCIe 5.0 x16 for the graphics card, in a steel reinforced slot. Gen5 at this price point is not a given, and the reinforcement matters with a card this size hanging off it
  • 6+1+1 phase Dr.MOS power delivery, which is comfortably more than a 65W processor asks for and enough for the 7800X3D upgrade as well
  • Two DDR5 slots supporting up to 128GB, rated to DDR5-8200 and beyond with XMP or EXPO. Both are used here at 32GB. Going higher later means replacing the pair, not adding to it, which is the one real compromise on this board and we would rather you heard it from us
  • Two M.2 slots: one Gen5 x4 and one Gen4 x4. The Gen5 slot is used, so a second drive can go straight in
  • Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.2 built in, aerial supplied. 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet on a Realtek Dragon controller
  • Rear I/O gives you three USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and two USB 2.0, plus HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4. Realtek ALC897 audio, four SATA ports
  • There is also a second PCIe 4.0 slot at x4 and a PCIe 4.0 x1, so expansion is not an afterthought
  • PC36 only uses motherboards chosen for stability and longevity. See our Trusted brands page
• 📏 Memory / RAM: 32GB (2×16GB) DDR5-6000 CL36
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • A matched pair running dual channel at DDR5-6000 CL36, enabled via EXPO in the BIOS before it ships
  • DDR5-6000 is the speed Ryzen on AM5 runs best at. It keeps the memory controller and the memory running in step with each other, and going faster on paper often makes it slower in practice
  • 32GB is the right amount at this level and comfortably more than any current game needs. It leaves plenty spare for a browser, Discord and a stream alongside
  • Both slots are in use. This board has two, not four, so more memory later means a new pair rather than an addition. For gaming that is a non-issue, but if you know you need 64GB, say so on live chat before you order
  • Specification guaranteed, model may vary. Happy to confirm the exact part on request
• 💾 Storage: 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD (QLC)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Rated at 5,000MB/s or better, fitted in the board's Gen5 slot. Games load in seconds and Windows feels instant
  • QLC rather than TLC, and that is a deliberate choice on this series. For loading games, booting Windows and everything most people do day to day, it is indistinguishable. Where QLC gives ground is very long sustained writes, where it slows once its fast cache fills. On a build built around getting the most graphics card for the money, we would rather the difference sat in the card
  • We fit 1TB as standard across the whole range rather than varying it by price, so comparing our machines to each other is straightforward. The 2TB option below is worth a thought at this level, because a card like this means playing bigger games
  • One M.2 slot free, plus two 3.5 inch and two 2.5 inch mounts in the case
  • Specification guaranteed, model may vary. Happy to confirm the exact part on request
• 🎮 Graphics card: AMD Radeon RX 9070 16GB
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • RDNA 4, 56 compute units, 16GB of GDDR6 on a 256-bit bus, 220W typical board power
  • 16GB at this price is the headline. Several current titles will use more than 8GB at 1440p with textures turned up, and VRAM is the thing that ages a card fastest. This one has room to sit still for years
  • RDNA 4 is the generation where ray tracing on a Radeon stopped being a compromise. The ray accelerators are substantially rebuilt and the gap to NVIDIA at this tier has closed to the point where it is a preference rather than a decision
  • FSR 4 upscaling, which is a machine learning model rather than the older spatial approach, and a real step up in image quality
  • AV1 encode and decode for streaming and recording
  • 220W is modest for the performance, which is part of why this build stays quiet and why a 750W supply is comfortable rather than marginal
  • The chipset and VRAM are guaranteed: it will always be an RX 9070 with 16GB. The AIB brand varies with availability, and we only use established manufacturers. See our Trusted brands page for more info
• 🧰 Case: Thermaltake S100 TG, Black
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 411 × 220 × 441mm, a micro-ATX mini tower in SPCC steel with a 4mm tempered glass side panel on a magnetic hinge
  • Graphics cards up to 330mm, CPU coolers up to 165mm, power supplies up to 160mm. We fit the card to the case rather than the other way round, so the card in your machine will be one that sits inside that limit properly
  • The front panel is solid steel, and air comes in through large vents down its sides rather than through a mesh face. We would rather say that plainly than let you discover it. A mesh front does move more air. What this arrangement gives up in raw intake it makes up in a cleaner look and much less dust, and with a 65W processor and a 220W card there is cooling to spare. We have tested it rather than assumed it
  • Fan mounts: two at the front taking 120mm or 140mm, two in the top, one at the rear. Radiator support is 240mm or 280mm at the front and in the top. One 120mm rear exhaust is included in the box
  • Two 3.5 inch drive bays and two 2.5 inch mounts
  • Front I/O is one USB 3.0 and two USB 2.0 ports with a headphone and microphone jack. There is no front USB-C on this chassis, which is part of how the price works. There is a USB-C on the rear I/O
  • Magnetic dust filter on the top vent and a mesh filter under the power supply
• 🌬️ Case cooling: 2 × 140mm front intake, 1 × 120mm rear exhaust included with the case
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Two 140mm fans at the front rather than two 120mm ones, which is a small extra cost and the single most effective thing you can do in this chassis. A 140mm fan moves more air per turn, so it can turn more slowly for the same result
  • Plain black, no lighting, fitted by us. The case's own 120mm exhaust handles the rear
  • Front to back is the shortest path through a case and this build uses all of it. Cool air comes in through the side vents at the front, straight across the card, and out the back. That directness is why the solid front is not the handicap it might sound like
  • Four-pin PWM throughout, matched to the rest of the machine
  • Fan curves are set by hand before dispatch and verified through our standard stress testing rather than assumed. Honest expectation setting: a 220W card is a modest heat load, so this machine is quiet at the desktop and moderate under load. It is one of the better balanced builds we make on noise
• ⚡ Power supply: Deepcool PL750D 750W 80+ Bronze
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 750W against a build that draws around 340W under a heavy gaming load. AMD's own recommendation for the RX 9070 is 650W, so this is real headroom rather than just enough
  • ATX 3.1 certified with a native 12V-2x6 connector rated at 450W, which means it is built to tolerate the short transient spikes modern cards produce. That certification is worth more than the efficiency badge on a build like this
  • 80 PLUS Bronze, non-modular. Non-modular means every cable is permanently attached, so cable management is a matter of routing and tying rather than leaving things out. We do that work properly, and you will see the result through the glass
  • If you would rather have Gold efficiency and more headroom, the 850W upgrade is in the options below. It is not needed for this build as it stands, and we will say so rather than sell it to you
• 🔌 Cabling: Black cabling, routed and tied
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Non-modular, so the unused cables are routed and stowed behind the tray rather than left loose. Nothing crosses the front intake path
  • Everything visible through the glass is tied down and squared off. On a non-modular supply that takes real time, and it is the difference between a tidy machine and a bag of spaghetti
  • Braided cable extensions are available as an upgrade if you want the look through the glass. Ask us on live chat
• 📶 WiFi / Bluetooth / Ethernet: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.2 and 2.5G Ethernet, included
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Built into the ASRock B850M-X WiFi R2.0. No separate adapter needed, and the aerial is supplied in the box
  • Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6GHz band, which is far less congested than 2.4 and 5GHz in a busy household
  • 2.5 Gigabit wired Ethernet, which we would still recommend over wireless for competitive play
• 🪟 Operating system: As chosen by you from the listing options below. Windows 11 Home (OEM) is recommended.
• 🧹 Setup and optimisation: PC36 High-Class Standard. Full stress test with certificate, bloat-free installation, and BIOS set up properly
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  PC36 High-Class Standard, included free with every build

  • Ready the moment you open the box. Your PC boots straight into Windows with a local account already set up. No account sign-in wall, no first-run questionnaire, no half-hour of setup before you can use the machine you just bought
  • BIOS updated and configured properly: manual fan curves, PBO enabled, EXPO enabled, Secure Boot enabled
  • Vanilla Windows 11 installation if you choose Windows, with no bloatware added by us, and all drivers loaded and ready to go
  • Full stress test with certificate. Every system is torture tested on CPU, RAM and GPU before dispatch, and ships with the certificate to prove it

  PC36 Premier Optimisation, available in the listing options

  • CPU tuning to bring thermals and noise down with minimal performance loss, plus a deeper strip and debloat of Windows and a hand-tuned fan profile
  • Worth it if the machine is going somewhere you sit near it, though this is already one of the quieter builds in the range

  PC36 Ultimate Performance Tune, available in the listing options

  • Advanced tuning: memory tune, CPU overclock and GPU overclock on top of everything in Premier
  • Worth it here. The 7500F has headroom, the memory responds well on AM5, and RDNA 4 cards take a modest overclock without complaint. There is more on the table on this build than on Coquette One
• 🛡️ Warranty: 3 years parts & labour (return to base)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Standard 3-year coverage included, parts and labour both. The same warranty as every machine we sell, regardless of price
  • Optional extended warranties in the listing options below

👁️ Transparency notes

• The case has a solid front panel and draws its intake through side vents rather than a mesh face (click or tap to read more)

  A mesh front moves more air, and there is no argument to be had about that. What this chassis does instead is pull air in through large vents down both sides of the front panel, which is quieter, keeps far more dust out and looks cleaner. We fit two 140mm intakes rather than 120mm ones specifically to make up the difference, and with a 65W processor and a 220W card there's cooling to spare, verified in our own stress testing rather than assumed. If maximum airflow matters more to you than the look, one of our mesh-front builds is the better buy and we'll happily point you at one.

• This motherboard has two memory slots, not four (click or tap to read more)

  Both are filled with the 32GB kit. That means going to 64GB later is a replacement rather than an addition, and you would have a pair of 16GB sticks left over. For a gaming machine this is very close to irrelevant, because no current game benefits from 64GB. If you know you want more than 32GB, tell us on live chat before you order and we will fit the right kit from the start.

• The storage is a QLC drive, which is a deliberate choice on this series (click or tap to read more)

  QLC and TLC feel identical for loading games and booting Windows. The difference shows up in very long sustained writes, where a QLC drive slows once its fast cache fills. On a series built around putting the most graphics card in front of you for the money, that is the trade we have chosen, and we would rather explain it than hide it in a spec sheet. If you regularly move very large files, the 2TB TLC option is the better answer and we are happy to talk it through on live chat.

• Product images are representative photos of a similar spec in the same style. Your PC will look similar but not identical. Our support team can help clarify anything you're unsure of.
• The ring RGB fans shown later in the photo stack are not included as standard - if you'd like those rather than plain black, leave a note in the listing options below and we'll use them in your build

🛠️ Popular upgrade options

• Processor upgrade to the Ryzen 7 7800X3D: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you play simulation games, large open worlds, heavily modded titles or competitive shooters at very high refresh rates, all of which lean on the X3D cache. Also worth it if you intend to keep this machine a long time and pair it with a bigger card later. Not worth it if you play at 1440p in graphically demanding single player games, where the card is already the limit and the 7500F is not holding it back.

• Cooler upgrade to a 240mm AIO liquid cooler: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it mainly alongside the 7800X3D upgrade, or if you want the processor's heat leaving through the top of the case rather than into it. The air cooler fitted as standard is genuinely sufficient for the 7500F, so this is a refinement rather than a fix.

• Storage upgrade to 2TB: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you keep several large modern games installed at once, which a card at this level tends to encourage. You can defer it because the second M.2 slot is free, but taking it now is tidier and gets you a TLC drive.

• 850W 80+ Gold power supply: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you plan to move to a substantially bigger card later, or if you simply prefer Gold efficiency and a quieter supply fan. The 750W Bronze unit fitted is ATX 3.1 certified and has real headroom over this build, so this is a preference rather than a requirement.

• Braided cable extensions: available via live chat.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you want the machine to look deliberate through the glass. Colour matched to your preference, and we will ask before we build.

• Extended warranty: available in the listing options below.
• Anything else: speak with us via live chat. You'll be talking to one of us, not a chatbot.

🎯 What is this PC best for?
