Edge Two | RTX 5070 12GB + Ryzen 5 7500F | Ready-to-Go Gaming PC | PC36

👻 Edge Two

Made to be looked through, not just at

A glass side panel only earns its place if there is something worth looking at behind it. Edge Two is where the Edge line starts giving you that: the same full mesh front and 4 ARGB fans as the build below it, with considerably more machine lit up behind the panel.

What it buys you is 1440p done properly, at the settings you'd actually choose rather than the ones you'd settle for. An RTX 5070 12GB and 32GB of dual channel DDR5-6000 are where the money in this build has gone, and the Ryzen 5 7500F keeps pace with both without taking anything away from the card.

It is a machine you can leave on a desk in a room people sit in. Air comes in across the full mesh front and straight onto the card, the fan curves are set by hand before it ships, and it will hold a high refresh 1440p monitor without making a performance of it.

🧬 Built to last, designed to evolve

This system is built on AMD's modern AM5 platform, which offers one of the best CPU upgrade paths available today. That means you can start with a great processor now and still have room to move up the stack later, while keeping the same motherboard, case, power supply and most of your core components. GPU, storage and cooling are all easily upgradable so the system can grow with your needs over time.

📃 Specifications

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

  • 6 cores, 12 threads of Zen 4, with 32MB of L3 cache
  • Strong single core performance, which is what high frame rate gaming actually depends on. 65W TDP on paper, though it boosts past that in practice and pulls around 88W with every core loaded, which the tower cooler fitted takes in its stride
  • Being straight about the pairing: at 1440p the RTX 5070 is doing most of the work, and the 7500F keeps up with it comfortably in the great majority of games. Where you would feel the difference is competitive titles at very high frame rates, and that is exactly what the 7800X3D upgrade below is for
  • AM5 means that upgrade stays available for years. A 7800X3D or 9800X3D drops straight into this board with no other changes
• ❄️ CPU cooler: Thermalright Assassin X 120 Refined SE ARGB, single tower air cooler
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 4 × 6mm nickel-plated copper heatpipes in direct contact with the processor, through 51 aluminium fins, with a 120mm PWM fan that runs to 1550rpm and ties into the case lighting rather than fighting it
  • Rated to 225W against a processor that pulls around 88W with every core loaded, so it is comfortable here rather than merely adequate. That is the reason the fan stays slow and the machine stays quiet under a long session
  • 148mm tall, against the 170mm this case allows, and it clears the memory slots entirely, so the two spare DIMM slots stay usable without the cooler having to come off
  • Thermalright TF4 paste is used on assembly, and the cooler carries a 3 year warranty of its own alongside ours on the build
  • If you take the 7800X3D upgrade, we would suggest taking the 240mm liquid cooler with it. See the upgrade options below
• 🔲 Motherboard: MSI PRO B850-S WIFI6E (ATX)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 12+2+1 phase DRPS power delivery with a digital PWM controller, fed by two CPU power connectors. Plain English translation: far more power delivery than this build asks for, and enough to run any AM5 Ryzen at full tilt years from now without the board becoming the weak link. MSI do not publish an amperage figure for these stages and we are not going to invent one
  • AMD B850 on a full-size ATX board. Four DDR5 slots supporting up to 256GB and rated beyond DDR5-8200 with EXPO, so memory can be expanded later without replacing the kit you already have
  • PCIe 4.0 x16 for the graphics card, in a steel-reinforced slot, with a tool-free release clip so the card can be removed without reaching blind past the cooler. Two further slots below it
  • Two M.2 slots, both wired straight to the processor: one PCIe 5.0 with a heatsink, one PCIe 4.0. One is used here, leaving room for a second drive. Because both come off the CPU rather than the chipset, adding that drive costs you nothing elsewhere: all four SATA ports and every PCIe slot stay live, which is not true of every board at this price
  • 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, with the aerial supplied in the box
  • Eight USB ports on the rear and not one of them is USB 2.0: a 10Gbps USB-C, three 10Gbps USB-A and four at 5Gbps, plus a 10Gbps USB-C header for the front panel. HDMI 2.1 and DisplayPort 1.4, four SATA ports, Realtek ALC897 audio
  • Flash BIOS Button, so the board can be updated with nothing fitted but the power supply, and EZ Debug LEDs that name the unhappy component rather than leaving you guessing
  • 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

  • DDR5-6000 CL36 is the sweet spot for AM5. It is the speed AMD's memory controller runs in its most efficient mode, and pushing past it usually costs more than it returns
  • EXPO is enabled in BIOS before the machine leaves us. A surprising number of prebuilt PCs ship with fast memory running at slow default speeds because nobody turned the profile on
  • Dual channel across two sticks, with two of the four slots still free
  • 32GB is the right amount alongside a card of this tier. It is enough to game with a browser, Discord and a stream running, and enough for real creative work rather than just claiming to be
  • 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

  • PCIe 4.0 speeds for quick boots and fast game loading. In normal use it feels identical to any other modern NVMe drive
  • QLC is the flash type, and it is what keeps a 1TB drive affordable at this price. The one place you would notice it is writing very large files back to back, where sustained transfers of tens of gigabytes slow down once the drive's fast cache fills. Gaming, browsing and everyday work never do this
  • If you edit video regularly, take the 2TB upgrade and ask us about a TLC drive on live chat
  • One more M.2 slot stays free, so adding storage later is straightforward and does not mean replacing anything
  • Specification guaranteed, model may vary. Happy to confirm the exact part on request
• 🎮 Graphics card: NVIDIA RTX 5070 12GB
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • A high refresh 1440p card. In most modern titles at high settings it sits comfortably above 100fps, and in competitive games considerably higher than that
  • DLSS 4 with multi frame generation, which is where a lot of the headroom in demanding titles now comes from
  • Straight answer on the 12GB: it is enough for 1440p today, and enough for 4K if you leave textures at high rather than ultra. Ultra textures at 4K is the one place you would run into it. If 4K is your actual goal rather than an occasional visit, the RTX 5070 Ti 16GB upgrade below is the honest recommendation
  • NVENC on board, which is the encoder most streaming and recording software prefers
  • The chipset and VRAM are guaranteed: it will always be an RTX 5070 with 12GB. The AIB brand varies with availability, and we only use established manufacturers. See our Trusted brands page for more info
• 🧰 Case: Corsair 3000D RGB Airflow, ATX mid tower
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 462 × 230 × 466mm on the outside, so it fits the space most people already have a tower in
  • Full height mesh front panel with a tempered glass side, so the lighting is on show and the airflow is not paying for it
  • Takes graphics cards up to 360mm and CPU coolers up to 170mm tall, which leaves room for almost any upgrade you would sensibly put in this machine
  • Supports up to a 360mm radiator in the front and 280mm in the top, so liquid cooling stays on the table later
  • Tool-free glass panel, which sounds like a small thing until the first time you want to get inside
  • Room for two extra 2.5 inch or 3.5 inch drives alongside the M.2 storage
• 🌬️ Case cooling: 4 × 120mm ARGB fans. Three front intake, one rear exhaust
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • The case includes three AR120 RGB fans across the front as intake. We add a fourth at the rear as exhaust, because three fans pushing air in with nothing pulling it out is half a cooling system
  • Front to back airflow, with positive pressure inside the case. That keeps dust moving through the front filter rather than settling in through every gap in the chassis
  • Three intake fans matter more here than on Edge One, because a 5070 puts noticeably more heat into the case than a 5060 does. Feeding it cool air across the full front is what keeps the card's own fans from having to spin up
  • All four run from the motherboard's 5V ARGB header, so the lighting is controlled in software alongside the cooler rather than through a separate remote
  • Fan curves are tuned before dispatch, and airflow is verified through our standard stress testing rather than assumed
• ⚡ Power supply: Deepcool PL750D 750W 80+ Bronze
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Includes a native 12V-2x6 PCIe 5.1 cable. That is the connector the RTX 5070 uses, so the card plugs straight in with no adaptor and no dongle in the loop
  • Cybenetics ETA Silver rated, an independent efficiency measurement taken across the full load range, which in practice is a more useful signal than the 80+ badge on its own
  • 750W against a build that draws around half that under load. That headroom is what lets the graphics card be upgraded as far as an RX 9070 XT or RTX 5070 Ti later without touching the power supply
  • ATX 3.1 certified, built to absorb the brief power spikes modern graphics cards produce rather than tripping over them
• 🔌 Cabling: Stock black cabling, neatly arranged
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Visible runs are finished cleanly and the rear chamber is kept tidy but not overtightened, so future upgrades stay straightforward
  • Braided cable extensions in your choice of colour are available from the upgrade options, and on a lit build behind glass they are the cheapest visual upgrade on the list
• 📶 WiFi / Bluetooth / Ethernet: Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and 2.5G Ethernet, included
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 are built into the MSI PRO B850-S WIFI6E. No separate adapter needed, and the aerial is supplied in the box
  • Wi-Fi 6E adds the 6GHz band, which is usually far less congested than 2.4 and 5GHz if your router supports it
  • 2.5 Gigabit wired Ethernet, which we would still recommend over wireless for competitive play. To be plain about what that buys you: the extra bandwidth will not make a game feel different, because wired is about latency and consistency rather than speed. Where it earns its place is moving large files to a NAS or another machine on your network
• 🪟 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/XMP 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

  PC36 Ultimate Performance Tune, available in the listing options

  • Advanced overclocking: RAM tune, CPU tune and GPU overclock on top of everything in Premier
  • There is real headroom in an RTX 5070 and in DDR5-6000, so this is worth considering at this tier. Ask us on live chat if you are unsure and we will tell you honestly what to expect from your spec
• 🛡️ Warranty: 3 years parts & labour (return to base)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Standard 3-year coverage included, parts and labour both
  • Optional extended warranties in the listing options below

👁️ Transparency notes

• 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.
• RGB heatspreaders on the RAM are not guaranteed unless the quick add-on is chosen - this is due to industry-wide supply constraints on memory
• Memory, SSD and graphics card carry a specification guarantee rather than a fixed model (click or tap to read more)

  Most parts are named models and will be what is delivered. RAM, SSD and graphics card instead carry a spec guarantee, because current market conditions make stock on those three very variable. This keeps us agile enough to offer good pricing and honest spec lists. If you want clarity on the precise models we will use, drop us a live chat on the day you're ready to purchase and we'll confirm it.

🛠️ Popular upgrade options

• Quick-add upgrades. This listing has a set of one-click upgrades chosen to fit this exact build, each one priced, in the Quick-add Upgrades section on this page. Memory, storage, optimisation, the anti-sag bracket and the extended warranty are in the build options instead. Anything not shown in either place, ask us on live chat and we will price it.
• Need a monitor, keyboard or mouse? Scroll past the add to cart button. We've paired specific peripherals to get the best out of this build.
• Storage upgrade to 2TB: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  The upgrade most people are glad they took. Modern games are enormous, and 1TB fills faster than it sounds like it should. Worth it if you keep more than about four or five large titles installed at once.

• Memory upgrade to 48GB or 64GB: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it for heavy creative work, large project files or running virtual machines. For gaming, even with a stream running alongside, 32GB is genuinely enough and the money is better spent elsewhere.

• CPU upgrade to Ryzen 7 7800X3D: choose it from the quick-add upgrades, or speak with us via live chat.
  Click or tap for more info

  The upgrade we would point at first on this particular build. The 7500F is the part most likely to set the ceiling here, and the 7800X3D lifts it substantially in competitive titles and in anything simulation heavy. If you play at high refresh, this is where the money goes.

• GPU upgrade to Radeon RX 9070 XT 16GB or RTX 5070 Ti 16GB: choose either from the quick-add upgrades, or speak with us via live chat.
  Click or tap for more info

  Both take this build from strong 1440p to genuine 4K, and both bring 16GB of VRAM, which is what keeps a card comfortable as textures grow. The 9070 XT is the value choice and is excellent in raster; the 5070 Ti is stronger in ray tracing and brings DLSS 4 and NVENC with it. The 750W power supply handles either without change. Tell us how you play and we will give you a straight recommendation.

• Cooling upgrade to a 240mm AIO liquid cooler: choose it from the quick-add upgrades, or speak with us via live chat.
  Click or tap for more info

  On the stock 7500F this is an aesthetic upgrade, and we would rather say so than dress it up. It becomes a genuine performance choice if you take the 7800X3D at the same time, which is the combination we would suggest.

• Braided cable extensions: available from the quick-add upgrades section.
  Click or tap for more info

  The best value visual upgrade on a lit build behind glass. Available in a range of colours, fitted by us so the visible runs are done properly rather than left for you to redo.

🎯 What is this PC best for?

• High refresh 1440p gaming at high to ultra settings, which is what this build is designed around
• 1080p at very high frame rates for competitive play
• 4K with DLSS 4 and textures kept at high rather than ultra
• Streaming and content creation, with NVENC handling the encoding rather than the processor
• Anyone who would rather have the better graphics card now and upgrade the processor later, which is the right way round
