That is a deliberate choice at this price: AM4 is a mature, extremely well supported socket with cheap memory and cheap boards, and it is what makes this machine cost what it does. Being honest about the trade, AMD have stopped releasing new processors for it, so the upgrade path here is a Ryzen 7 5700X3D rather than anything newer.

Supply on these three moves constantly, and pricing with it. Rather than list a part we might not be able to source next week, we commit to the specification: capacity, speed, timings, endurance class. And for graphics cards, we will always give you the chipset (e.g. RX 9060) and VRAM (e.g. 8GB) that is listed.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWe only use parts from established manufacturers.

Not one, anywhere.\u003c\/strong\u003e Fractal did not fit any, and it is the single most practical thing to know about owning one. If it lives on the floor or on a carpet it will need opening and cleaning more often than a filtered case would. Standing it upright rather than laying it flat helps.

That is why this machine is affordable, and the Ryzen 7 5700X3D is still available as a genuinely large upgrade if you want it later.
