Torden Two | RTX 5070 Ti 16GB + Ryzen 7 7800X3D + 32GB | Ready-to-Go Gaming PC | PC36

🌩️ Torden Two

An RTX 5070 Ti and a 7800X3D in the best-cooled case we build in, and nothing in the way of either

Torden Two is the top of this series and the point at which the case stops being generous and starts being necessary. An RTX 5070 Ti drawing 300W, a Ryzen 7 7800X3D, and a Fractal Meshify 3 Ambience Pro with a full mesh front, three 140mm intakes and a moulded scoop in the floor aiming cool air straight at the card. The NZXT Kraken Plus 240 in the roof takes the processor's heat out of the top so the two never share a path.

The 7800X3D is here because at 1440p it is the processor that matters. Its 96MB of stacked cache is what large open worlds, simulation titles and heavily modded games respond to, and it does that on 120W rather than by brute force. Behind a 5070 Ti it is a genuinely 4K-capable machine that is still fast enough to feed a high refresh 1440p monitor.

Torden is the black sibling of our Luftstrom series, in two tiers rather than three. This is an expensive chassis and it deserves a card worth cooling.

🧬 Built to last, designed to evolve

Built on AMD's AM5 platform, which AMD have committed to supporting into 2027 and beyond, so the processor can be replaced without touching anything else. The board has four DDR5 slots with two free and multiple M.2 slots with only one used, so memory and storage both grow by addition rather than replacement. The case takes graphics cards up to 349mm, with radiator positions still free. This is a machine designed to be kept.

📃 Specifications

• 🧠 CPU: AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 8 cores, 16 threads of Zen 4, boosting to 5.0GHz, with 96MB of L3 cache thanks to 3D V-Cache. 120W TDP
  • Still one of the best gaming processors made, and the value pick among them. The enormous cache is what large open worlds, simulation titles, heavily modded games and competitive shooters respond to, and it is why this chip outruns processors with far higher clock speeds in exactly those games
  • At 1440p and above it is comfortably ahead of what a 5070 Ti asks of it, which means the card is free to run at its own pace rather than waiting on the processor
  • The stacked cache sits above the cores on this generation, so AMD lock the multiplier to protect it. That means the tuning options below are an undervolt and a memory tune rather than an overclock, and we would rather be accurate about that than sell you something the silicon will not do
  • Socket AM5, so the 9800X3D upgrade below is a drop-in change and future generations will fit this board too
• ❄️ CPU cooler: NZXT Kraken Plus 240 liquid cooler, black, with a 1.54 inch LCD screen
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • A 240mm all-in-one liquid cooler with a copper split-flow coldplate, a Turbine pump running 1,200 to 2,800rpm, and 400mm braided tubing. Mounted in the top of the case as exhaust
  • The pump cap carries a 240 by 240 pixel colour LCD. It will show live temperatures, or your own images and animated GIFs, and it is the one piece of visual personality in an otherwise very restrained machine
  • The radiator fans are not the ones NZXT supply. We take them off and fit Fractal Momentum 12 ARGB fans instead, so every fan in the machine is from the same family and runs from the same hub. More on that in the case cooling section below
  • Two hundred and forty millimetres of radiator against a 120W processor with a great deal in hand. The X3D chips are not hot in absolute terms, they are simply sensitive to being cooled well, and this holds the boost behaviour steady through a long session
  • It also keeps the processor's heat off the graphics card. An air cooler dumps warm air into the chassis for the rear fan to deal with; a top-mounted radiator sends it straight out through the roof. With a 300W card underneath, keeping those two heat sources on separate paths is worth more than the raw cooling figure
  • Mounted with thermal paste applied by hand rather than a pre-applied pad. Tube routing and pump orientation are set so no air can collect at the pump, which is the thing that shortens an AIO's life
  • There is a note below about the NZXT CAM software and what the screen does without it. Please read it before you order
• 🔲 Motherboard: ASRock B850 Riptide WiFi (ATX)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • PCIe 5.0 x16 for the graphics card. On a card this expensive that is worth having as standard rather than as an upgrade
  • Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet. This is the step up from the B650 board on Torden One, which runs Wi-Fi 6E and gigabit wired. If networking matters to you, this tier is where it arrives without you having to ask
  • Substantial power delivery, comfortably beyond what a 7800X3D asks for and enough headroom for a 9800X3D if you upgrade the processor later
  • Multiple M.2 slots with only one used, and four DDR5 slots with two used, so both storage and memory have room to grow
  • Full ATX, which is what this case is built around and part of why there is so much room to work in
  • 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

  • A matched pair running dual channel at DDR5-6000 CL36, enabled via EXPO in the BIOS before it ships
  • DDR5-6000 is the speed Ryzen on AM5 runs best at. It keeps the memory controller and the memory running in step with each other, and going faster on paper often makes it slower in practice. On an X3D chip that balance matters more than the headline number
  • 32GB is the right amount for a machine at this level. It covers modern games at maximum settings with plenty spare for a browser, Discord and a stream running alongside
  • Two of the board's four slots are free, so going to 64GB later is a matter of adding a pair rather than throwing away what is in there
  • Specification guaranteed, model may vary. Happy to confirm the exact part on request
• 💾 Storage: 1TB NVMe PCIe 4.0 SSD (TLC)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Rated at 5,000MB/s or better. Games load in seconds and Windows feels instant
  • TLC rather than QLC. TLC holds its speed through long sustained writes where a cheaper QLC drive slows down once its cache fills, and it has better write endurance. A machine at this level is likely to be moving large files around
  • We fit 1TB as standard across the whole range rather than varying it by price, so comparing our machines to each other is straightforward. At this price the 2TB option below is the upgrade we would encourage most, because a card this capable tends to mean a library of very large games
  • More M.2 slots free, plus drive mounts in the case
  • Specification guaranteed, model may vary. Happy to confirm the exact part on request
• 🎮 Graphics card: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Blackwell, 8,960 CUDA cores, 16GB of GDDR7 on a 256-bit bus, 300W total graphics power
  • The point where 1440p stops being a question and 4K becomes reasonable. Sixteen gigabytes of fast memory means textures at maximum without watching the VRAM counter
  • DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation. Transformer-model upscaling is a real visual step up from the older model, and it is what makes 4K comfortable on a card at this tier rather than merely possible
  • Ray tracing at 1440p is something you leave on rather than weigh up. At 4K it wants DLSS doing some of the work, which it does well
  • Dual NVENC encoders. If you stream or record seriously, NVENC is what most streaming software is built around, and having two of them means recording and streaming at once without either suffering. AV1 supported for encode and decode
  • Powered by a 12V-2x6 connector, fed by a native cable from the power supply rather than an adapter. That matters for safety as well as tidiness
  • 300W in a case built for exactly this. The floor scoop feeds the card directly and the processor's heat leaves through the roof, so the card is not breathing anything the CPU has already warmed
  • The chipset and VRAM are guaranteed: it will always be an RTX 5070 Ti with 16GB. The AIB brand varies with availability, and we only use established manufacturers. See our Trusted brands page for more info
• 🧰 Case: Fractal Meshify 3 Ambience Pro RGB, Black
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • The reason this series exists. Full mesh front panel with dust filtering, plus an air guide and a moulded scoop in the floor that directs intake air onto the graphics card instead of letting it wander
  • Three 140mm Momentum intake fans included. Most cases at any price ship with 120mm fans, and a 140mm fan moves more air per revolution, so it can spin slower for the same result
  • The Adjust Pro Hub controls all the lighting from the case itself. No software to install and nothing running in the background, and the setting is remembered by the hub. That fits how we set machines up: we do not want a lighting app sat in your system tray
  • Tempered glass side panel with a light tint, tool-free access, and Fractal's usual restrained Scandinavian finish rather than gamer styling
  • Supports graphics cards up to 349mm, and radiators of up to 360mm at the front and 280mm in the top
  • This is the best-cooled chassis we build in, and with a 300W card in it that is not a luxury. It is the reason this machine stays quiet under a load that makes other cases work
  • Also made in white, which is our Luftstrom series. Same case, same layout, different colour
• 🌬️ Case cooling: 3 × 140mm front intake included with the case, 1 × 120mm ARGB rear exhaust, 2 × 120mm ARGB on the radiator
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Every fan in this machine is a Fractal Momentum. The three 140mm intakes come with the case; we fit a 120mm Momentum 12 ARGB at the rear and swap the Kraken's own radiator fans for two more of the same
  • That is not just about how it looks, though it does look like one machine rather than three. The Momentum fans daisy-chain on Fractal Connect into the Adjust Pro Hub, so the whole set is one lighting system with one controller and no software. Mixing fan brands would mean two lighting systems and an app to reconcile them
  • The Momentum 12 runs 350 to 2,200rpm on a fluid dynamic bearing, moving 62 CFM at 2.42 mmH2O and rated at 28 dBA. They are a genuine step above the fans usually bundled with an AIO, and on a radiator that difference is measurable
  • Front in, top and rear out, which is the configuration this case was designed around. Slight positive pressure by design, so air enters through the filtered front rather than being pulled in through every gap. In practice that means noticeably less dust inside a year from now
  • Six fans in total, all tuned to a manual curve before dispatch rather than left on the motherboard's defaults
  • Fan curves are set by hand and verified through our standard stress testing rather than assumed. Honest expectation setting: a 300W card makes noise in any case, and it is the card you will hear rather than the processor. What this chassis does is let it make that noise at a lower fan speed than it would elsewhere. Near silent at the desktop, and audible but composed under a heavy load
• ⚡ Power supply: Montech Century II 850W 80+ Gold, fully modular
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • 850W against NVIDIA's own recommendation of 750W for the RTX 5070 Ti. Under a heavy gaming load this build draws around 460W, so there is genuine headroom above the load rather than merely enough
  • ATX 3.1 certified with a native 12V-2x6 cable, which is specifically designed to tolerate the short transient spikes Blackwell cards are known for. That certification is why 850W is the right answer here rather than a nervous one
  • Fully modular and 80 PLUS Gold, with only the cables this build needs installed. That matters in a case with a glass side and a clear intake path to keep open
  • If you would rather have more headroom, the 1000W upgrade is in the options below. It is not necessary for this build and we will not push it, but if you are thinking about a 5080 one day it is cheaper now than later
• 🔌 Cabling: Black cabling, routed and tied
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Fully modular, so nothing unused is installed. Routed through the chassis cable channels and tied down, with the front intake path and the floor scoop kept clear so the case can do what it is designed to do
  • The 12V-2x6 cable is routed with a proper bend radius rather than forced into the nearest gap. That connector does not tolerate being crushed, and getting it right is not optional on a card this expensive
  • Braided cable extensions are available as an upgrade if you want the look through the glass. Ask us on live chat
• 📶 WiFi / Bluetooth / Ethernet: Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5G Ethernet, included
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Built into the ASRock B850 Riptide WiFi. No separate adapter needed, and the aerial is supplied in the box
  • Wi-Fi 7 with Bluetooth, on a board a tier above the one in Torden One. In a busy household the 6GHz band is far less congested than 2.4 and 5GHz
  • 2.5 Gigabit wired Ethernet, which we would still recommend over wireless for competitive play, and which is the one that matters if your media lives on a NAS
• 🪟 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 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 and a hand-tuned fan profile
  • Worth it if the machine is going somewhere you sit near it. The graphics card is the loudest thing here, so a good part of the value is in the fan profile rather than the processor tune

  PC36 Ultimate Performance Tune, available in the listing options

  • Advanced tuning: memory tune, CPU overclock and GPU overclock on top of everything in Premier
  • On the 7800X3D the multiplier is locked, so the processor side is an undervolt and a memory tune rather than an overclock. Both are worth having, and the X3D cache responds well to a memory tune. The GPU overclock is where most of the frame rate gain sits, and in this case there is thermal headroom to use it
• 🛡️ Warranty: 3 years parts & labour (return to base)
  Click or tap for deeper spec info

  • Standard 3-year coverage included, parts and labour both. The same warranty as every machine we sell, regardless of price
  • Optional extended warranties in the listing options below

👁️ Transparency notes

• The cooler's LCD screen needs NZXT CAM installed to do most of what it can do (click or tap to read more)

  This is the one place where this build asks something of you. Without NZXT CAM running, the pump holds a fixed speed of around 80 percent and the screen shows liquid temperature and nothing else. With CAM installed you get your own images and GIFs, a choice of readouts, and dynamic pump and fan curves. We set the machine up so it is perfectly happy either way, and we tune the fan curves in the BIOS so they do not depend on it. But if you are the sort of person who would rather have nothing extra running in the background, you should know that the screen is the part that suffers. The case lighting is separate and needs no software at all.

• There are two control systems in this machine, and only one of them needs software (click or tap to read more)

  The case lighting, including all six fans, runs from Fractal's Adjust Pro Hub. That is configured once and remembered by the hub, with nothing installed on your PC. The cooler's screen is NZXT's and uses CAM. We would rather have one system than two, but no single manufacturer makes both the case we want and the screen we want. Fitting Momentum fans on the radiator is what keeps the lighting side down to one system rather than two.

• This much hardware is very quiet at idle and audible in a demanding game (click or tap to read more)

  A 300W graphics card makes noise in any case. What this one does is let it make that noise at a lower fan speed, because the mesh front and the floor scoop feed it cool air directly and the processor's heat leaves through the roof rather than joining it. This is among the better balanced machines we make on noise for the performance, but it is not silent when the card is working and we would rather say so. The Premier Optimisation fan profile is where most of the further improvement lives.

• This series has two tiers rather than three, because the case is expensive (click or tap to read more)

  The Meshify 3 Ambience Pro costs several times what a budget chassis costs, and it earns that on airflow and build quality. But putting an entry-level graphics card inside it would mean asking you to pay a lot for cooling headroom you would never use. If you want a machine below Torden One's price, our Coquette or Secret series will serve you better and we would rather point you there than sell you an expensive box with a small card in it.

• We replace the fans that come with the cooler, and the ones we take off do not come with the machine (click or tap to read more)

  The Kraken ships with two of NZXT's own 120mm fans. We remove them and fit Fractal Momentum 12 ARGB fans instead, so the whole machine runs one family of fans on one lighting hub. The NZXT fans are perfectly good and are not faulty in any way; they simply do not match. They stay with us rather than being shipped as spares, and that is reflected in the price you are paying.

• 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
• 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.

🛠️ Popular upgrade options

• Storage upgrade to 2TB: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  The upgrade we would take first on this build. A card this capable means playing the largest modern titles, several of which run past 100GB each, and 1TB fills faster than people expect. You can defer it because M.2 slots are free, but taking it now is tidier.

• Graphics upgrade to an RTX 5080: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if 4K at high refresh is the goal rather than 4K at sixty. It is a large step in price for a meaningful but not transformative step in frames, and this case and power supply will both take it without any other change. Not worth it if you play at 1440p, where the 5070 Ti already has more than most monitors will ask of it.

• Processor upgrade to the Ryzen 7 9800X3D: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you play at 1440p at very high refresh rates, where the processor is the limit rather than the card. The 9800X3D has its cache underneath the cores rather than above them, so it is fully unlocked and the Ultimate Performance Tune becomes a genuine overclock. Less worth it at 4K, where the card is the limit in almost everything.

• Motherboard upgrade to X870: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  The B850 Riptide already gives you Wi-Fi 7 and 2.5 Gigabit Ethernet, so the reason to take this one is USB4 at 40Gbps for single-cable docks, very fast external drives and DisplayPort out over USB-C. Worth it if that is something you would actually use. It will not change your frame rate.

• RGB memory: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you want the lighting to carry across the whole build rather than stopping at the fans and the pump cap. Purely cosmetic and it changes nothing about how the machine performs.

• 1000W power supply: available in the listing options below.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you take the 5080 upgrade or expect to move up a card later, in which case fitting it now saves doing the job twice. The 850W unit fitted is comfortably above NVIDIA's recommendation for this build as it stands.

• Braided cable extensions: available via live chat.
  Click or tap for more info

  Worth it if you want the machine to look deliberate through the glass. Colour matched to your preference, and we will ask before we build.

• Extended warranty: available in the listing options below.
• Anything else: speak with us via live chat. You'll be talking to one of us, not a chatbot.

🎯 What is this PC best for?

• 1440p gaming at high to ultra settings with the settings left alone
• 4K gaming at high settings, with DLSS 4 doing some of the work
• 1440p at very high refresh rates, where the X3D cache does its best work
• Ray tracing at 1440p as a default rather than a decision
• Serious streaming and recording, using both NVENC encoders at once
• Long sessions in a warm room, which is exactly what this chassis was built for
