🔎 Tempered
Raw horespower, lean arrangment
Built to be lean, performant, and provide a fantastic upgrade path, Tempered offers 1080p gaming in an affordable package, with 1440p easily possible using upscaling technology. 4K is possible in many titles too. The glass panelling provides an unobstructed view of your build.
The goal of this build is getting on the latest AM5 platform - this provides excellent longevity and upgrade potential. The 750W power suppply is more than is necessary - this is deliberate so that you can easily slot in upgrades in future
🧬 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.

👁️ Transparency notes
- Product images are of this exact PC
- The A620 motherboard is entry level - It will have no issue powering a Ryzen 5 CPU. Upgrades to Ryzen 7 CPUs are possible but we'd recomemend our fan upgrades below to ensure the motherboard remains stable if you plan to upgrade in a few years
- Technical info: 5 phase VRM at 50A stages = conservatively 250W of total power, and halve this for broad margin and thermal headroom -> 125W of CPU handling capability (enough for a Ryzen 7 7800X3D for example)
- Why the A620? Quite simply, this listing takes advantage of supplier deals and helps allay some of the recent price increases of DDR5 RAM
