🌲 Viking One
Quiet, considered, built to grow with you.
Viking One is the entry point to our signature series designed specifically for those who appreciate subtlety over flashing lights. The Lian Li A3-mATX case sits somewhere between furniture and computer — the walnut slatted front panel changes how a PC feels in a room, especially in a workspace where you don't want a glowing box demanding attention.
Underneath the calm exterior sits a deliberately current platform: Ryzen 5 8400F on AM5 with DDR5, a fully modular ATX 3.1 power supply, and a 1TB NVMe drive. No RGB. No showing off. Just a clean, capable 1080p gaming PC that will still feel current several years from now thanks to one of the strongest upgrade paths available today.
We designed the Viking series for those who value performance, but in an attractive, grown-up package that doesn't scream "gamer."
🧬 Built to last, designed to evolve
This system is built on AMD's latest AM5 platform, which offers one of the best 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.
📃 Specifications
- 🧠 CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 8400F
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- 6 cores, 12 threads — strong single-threaded performance for 1080p gaming with multi-core capability for streaming and creative workloads alongside
- Latest-generation Zen 4 architecture on the AM5 platform — the foundation for years of future upgrades without replacing the motherboard
- A deliberately current chip at this tier — sits comfortably with the RTX 5060 at 1080p, with headroom to handle a GPU upgrade later if you decide to push to higher resolutions
- ❄️ CPU cooler: AMD Wraith Stealth (stock cooler)
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- The stock AMD cooler handles the 8400F comfortably at its standard TDP for gaming workloads
- If you plan to upgrade the CPU later (e.g. to a 7800X3D), an aftermarket cooler upgrade is strongly recommended — see the popular upgrades section below for details
- For most buyers at this tier, the stock cooler is sufficient and keeps the build focused on the components that matter most for performance
- 🔲 Motherboard: B850 mATX — 8-phase minimum VRM
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- B850 chipset on a quality mATX board with a robust VRM (8-phase minimum) — comfortable headroom for the 8400F and for any CPU upgrade you might make later on the AM5 platform
- WiFi 6 onboard — no separate adapter needed
- PC36 only uses motherboards chosen for stability and longevity — see our Trusted brands page
- 📏 Memory / RAM: 16GB (1×16GB) DDR5-5600 CL36
Click or tap for deeper spec info

- Shipped as a single 16GB stick to keep the build genuinely upgrade-friendly — adding a second matched stick to reach 32GB dual channel is straightforward and inexpensive when you're ready
- DDR5 architecture handles single-channel configurations far better than older DDR4 — the real-world gaming performance impact at this tier is minimal, which we've verified through testing before shipping
- 16GB is sufficient for current games at 1080p; if you stream, edit content, or run heavy multitasking alongside games, 32GB is worth considering — see the popular upgrades section
- 💾 Storage: 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- Quality mid-tier NVMe drive with strong real-world performance for OS responsiveness and game loading
- PCIe 4.0 read/write speeds with reliable buffering for sustained workloads

- DLSS 4 and frame generation support adds significant performance headroom in supported titles where you want to push further
- Ray tracing capable at 1080p in most titles when paired with DLSS upscaling
- The Lian Li A3-mATX's bottom intake and side mesh provide good airflow directly to the GPU at this performance level
- See our Trusted brands page for more info
- 🧰 Case: Lian Li A3-mATX — walnut front panel with mesh side panels
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- The Viking signature case — Lian Li's well-engineered mATX chassis with a walnut wood slatted front that gives the build a calm, almost furniture-like presence
- Ships with mesh side panels as standard, which complements the walnut front for a clean understated look and provides excellent airflow
- Plain black and pure white front panel variants are also available — see the popular upgrades section
- An optional tempered glass side panel is available as a quick-add upgrade if you prefer the showcase look
- Supports modern GPUs comfortably and provides clean cable management for a build that looks tidy from any angle
- 🌬️ Case cooling: 1×120mm rear intake + 1×120mm front-top exhaust
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- Two quality 120mm non-RGB fans configured for a balanced airflow path through the case
- Plenty of cooling for the 8400F and RTX 5060 combination — verified through our standard stress testing before dispatch
- No RGB on the fans — keeps the build aligned with the calm, no-light aesthetic of the Viking series
- ⚡ Power supply: 750W 80+ Gold ATX 3.1 certified — fully modular
Click or tap for deeper spec info
- Quality 750W unit from one of our trusted PSU brands — see our Trusted brands page
- Fully modular cabling keeps the interior clean — only the cables you need are installed
- ATX 3.1 certified with modern power connector support where applicable — no dongles or adaptors needed for current or near-future GPU upgrades
- 750W provides comfortable headroom for the current spec and for meaningful GPU upgrades later without needing to swap the PSU
- 🔌 Cabling: Stock black PSU cabling
Click or tap for deeper spec info

👁️ Transparency notes
- Photos and graphics are representative — the build you receive will match the spec listed here. Some visual details (component branding, exact fan models, etc.) may vary depending on stock availability at the time of build, but performance and quality remain consistent across all units.
- Some components (RAM brand, NVMe brand, motherboard model within the chipset and VRM specification) may vary based on supplier availability at the time of build. We only use components that meet our specification and trusted brand criteria — see our Trusted brands page for the full list.
- Single channel RAM configuration: Viking One ships with 16GB as a single 16GB DDR5-5600 stick rather than 2×8GB. This is a deliberate choice — DDR5 architecture handles single-channel configurations far better than older DDR4, so the real-world gaming performance impact at this tier is minimal. More importantly, it keeps the build genuinely upgrade-friendly: adding a second matched stick later to reach 32GB dual channel is straightforward and inexpensive, whereas starting with 2×8GB would be less economical long term. Every Viking One is stress tested with its memory configuration before shipping.
- Glass panel note: Photos may show a tempered glass side panel — this is an optional upgrade. The standard Viking One configuration ships with the mesh side panel, which complements the walnut front for a clean, understated look without showing off the internals. A glass panel is available as a quick-add upgrade on the listing options if you prefer the showcase look.

Let customers speak for us
PC arrived well packed, all set up and running in no time.
Great prodcuct, fast and helpful customer service.
Excellent service and value. Especially pleased that Win 11 came installed on a local account, without all the normal bs. System runs perfectly, I will definitely be recommending to family and friends.
Amazing build and plays like a dream, runs silent and it was super simple to get it up and running out the box. The guys at PC36 were helpful at every question I had, no fuss, and kept me up to date every step of the way. Quality parts, looks epic and couldn't be happier, these guys are 2nd to none! Thanks again.
Great support, offered plenty of helpful suggestions. Perfectly explained each part of my PC to me when asked to. The PC I ordered has been nothing short of amazing thanks to these guys!
My son's really chuffed with his PC. Customer service & communication were excellent, the PC itself is well built and working nicely! Thanks
![[OEM] Windows 11 Home License](https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0700/6332/5481/files/Windows-11-Home-License-PC36-342_4798fa07-c304-4f33-996c-1573dca60438_70x70.webp?v=1702504298)
Fantastic shopping experience from start to finish. Jack was super responsive to any questions, really knowledgeable, and clearly passionate about what he does. The website is easy to navigate, specs are clearly laid out, and the whole process felt smooth and straightforward. Would happily buy from them again.
Absolutely delighted with this PC. Performance is incredible — runs everything smoothly on ultra settings and stays cool and quiet even during long sessions. The build quality is excellent and clearly put together with care.
Customer service was outstanding from start to finish — responsive, helpful, and genuinely supportive throughout the process. Couldn’t recommend them more highly.

Excellent service, great build quality and Jack was a pleasure to deal with. The PC arrived extremely well packed and with the added security of a tracking device. Would definitely use PC36 again in the future.
Quick turn around & PC running great.
Excellent service all round. I wanted a custom PC build and communications with Jack@PC36 to achieve exactly what I wanted were both helpful and timely - the final price was very competitive too. The build was slightly delayed as component testing revealed that the selected graphics card was both noisy and ran too hot under load. Comprehensive testing prior to purchase is essential and PC36 ensure this is done. The replacement card Jack selected runs both quietly and within temperature tolerances for the SFF case. In sum, a very positive experience. PC36 are highly recommended for your next PC build.
Super responsive in a very quick time. Great advice, and delivered as promised prior to xmas.
Amazing quality build PC at incredible price. Well packaged PC which made delivery to gaming possible within minutes with no issues. Thank you Jack!
PC36 has created a beautiful all white build gaming pc that runs great fps on high settings. The build is extremely high quality and it was packaged securely which gave no issues when setting up. From arriving at my door to gaming in minutes. Would highly recommend using PC36 to anyone looking for a PC!
