👁️ Transparency Notes

  • This is a great value system, but upgradability is more limited at this budget level — please contact us if you plan to expand later.
  • The pictures shown are an accurate portrayal of how this system looks - for the photos, an Intel Arc B580 12GB is pictured alongside a B450 ASUS motherboard. The build comes with an RTX 5060 8GB and AsRock B450M motherboard instead (however if you'd prefer the Arc B580 12GB we can swap to that at no added charge)
  • Please ensure you have read the condition notes at the top of this listing
