If you’re looking for an affordable starter build to jump start you into the world of PC gaming, this is the one for you. Gaming Workstations LLC just dropped this Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 4060 build and not only does it look super clean, it’s also packing a serious punch for 1080p Ultra gaming. Let’s take a closer look.
Favorite Features:
- ASUS Dual RTX 4060 - This new ASUS Dual lineup of Nvidia graphics cards is one of my favorite GPU designs of all time. From a distance it already looks like a very aesthetic white and black card, but if you look closely it’s actually modeling a space shuttle. My 4 year old son’s obsession with becoming an astronaut may be clouding my judgement here, but I just think this is one of the best looking models on the market right now and it fits perfectly inside all-white builds like this one.
- CPU and GPU Combo - The Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 4060 is a fantastic combination for 1080p Ultra gaming and can even dabble in 1440p depending on the title. Many people didn’t like the value offer of the 4060 when it first launched, but over the last 6 months or so that price has continued to go down which allows it to be placed in sub $900 builds like we have here.
- Gamemax Infinity Case - This case has a sort of unique approach to the typical fish tank, dual chambered design that we’ve been seeing a lot lately. Don’t get me wrong, it still looks very similar to all the rest, but I like how the footprint of this one isn’t huge and obnoxious. The rear PSU chamber isn’t that big and even though it does support a standard ATX power supply, this isn’t the type of build that’s going to take up half of your desk.
Price to Performance Value:
Despite rocking an Nvidia RTX 4060, and especially when considering the extra aesthetic value, this build has some serious price to performance. We all know that most places on the internet are still selling RTX 4060 builds for over $1000 these days, so for $859 that’s a steal by itself. Compared to the rest of the Jawa platform, I don’t see any 4060 builds priced lower than this one.
First Upgrades:
The weakest part of this build is the motherboard, which is a budget A520M model. That’s not an issue at all with the current configuration, but if you were to upgrade the Ryzen 5 5500 to a beefy 5800X3D for example, you’ll want a better motherboard to go along with it. The 1TB of storage may also be hindering for gamers that want to keep a huge library, but again, that’s not really needed right away. I also love to see the 32GB of RAM, so this PC isn’t in need of any specific upgrade right this very second.
Conclusion
There is no way that this build lasts long at all. The seller is certainly not making a huge profit here. This is one of the best valued RTX 4060 builds you’ll find on the internet, and the aesthetics to go along with it are top tier, per usual with Gaming Workstations LLC.
