[Refurb Grade A] Hero | RTX 3070 8GB + Ryzen 5 5600 + 32GB DDR4 + 1TB SSD | Ready-to-Go Gaming PC | PC36

🦸 Hero

Punches well beyond its price point

With Hero, you get the best of both - low pricing by utilising pre-owned components, but expertly refurbished so it feels brand new

The RTX 3070 8GB and Ryzen 5 5600 make for a powerful pairing for 1080p gaming, with 1440p easily achievable using DLSS upscaling. We've placed these components into a brand new high-airflow NZXT case, giving you that new unboxing and presentation feeling. The build itself is compact and attractive, being the width of a small book, and the height of a small keyboard

After our refurbishments, the thermal performance is truly impressive - 65 degrees on the graphics card, and 50 degrees on the CPU, even when placed under extreme loads in our stress testing. Buy this as a gift, and the recipient would never know these aren't new components

And yes, this will be faster than the Valve Steam Machine!

Refurbishments applied: 
New case
New case fans and liquid cooler fans
Dusting and isopropyl alcohol cleaning
Graphics card thermal paste exchanged, and VRAM thermal pads replaced where broken
Fresh Windows installation (if selected)
The usual PC36 finishing you come to expect, from a company you can trust

This PC is already built, and ready to ship. Just one in stock, and can't be repeated!

🧬 Built to last, designed to evolve

This system is built on a mature AM4 platform using high quality DDR4 memory. That keeps performance high without the current price premium of DDR5. CPU upgrade paths are more limited than the latest platforms, but GPU, storage, case and cooling upgrades remain wide open, delivering excellent real-world performance per pound. This particular build also features a very high capacity power supply which can support even the highest end consumer hardware
