Hey folks! I'm considering this gaming PC priced at €699 and I'm looking for your thoughts before I commit. It comes with Windows 11 and here are the specs and costs for the components:
- **CPU:** AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (4.2GHz, AM4) | €79.95 (was €94.95)
- **Motherboard:** Asus Prime A520M-K (AM4) | €59.95 (was €64.95)
- **RAM:** 16GB (2x8GB) Corsair Vengeance LPX 3200MHz CL16 | €239.90

I mainly want to game at 1080p. Do you think this setup is good for the price? Are there any potential bottlenecks or things I should be aware of? Thanks!

Honestly, I think it’s okay, but I’d be worried about that 8GB GPU in a couple of years. For 2026 gaming, it might be worth spending a bit more to get a 16GB option like the 9060xt or the 5060ti. Just a heads up!
Really good points! I hadn’t thought about the power supply and the storage. I'll definitely look into a bigger SSD.
If Windows 11 is included, it does seem like a decent deal overall, considering a Windows license is usually around €100. Just keep in mind the limits on that GPU.
True, GPU prices have spiked recently. You might want to invest in a more powerful PSU as well, especially if you plan to upgrade parts down the line. Oh, and that 500GB SSD will fill up pretty fast—consider going for at least 1TB!
