If you’re either stuck with a 1080p gaming PC that needs a complete overhaul, or you’re looking to jump into top tier PC gaming right off the bat, this 1440p gaming PC prebuilt is the one to check out. Inside the Antec Performance 1 case, this beautiful black and white build is featuring the Ryzen 5 5600 and an RTX 3080, and it’s certainly work taking a closer look.
Favorite Features
- Antec Performance 1 - This is a super clean but also aggressive style of case that I’m personally all about. Now we’re not getting the current META “fish tank” look with it, but we’re still getting a very unique finned front panel, a digital display at the top for monitoring temperatures, and plenty of room for cable management. You can see how pristine those cables are managed in the third picture by the way, it’s stunning.
- 1440p Performance - Despite both being a generation old now, that doesn’t stop the Ryzen 5 5600 and RTX 3080 from delivering a solid 1440p gaming experience. If you’re playing the competitive shooters then you’ll have no problem achieving those 144+ FPS numbers, and if you’re playing the AAA titles you’ll be able to crank those settings up towards High/Ultra without a problem.
- Aesthetics - Per usual, this is definitely a selling point of the build for me. Gaming Workstations definitely has the formula mastered here because this is a work of art. I love this high contrast look with the black case and all these white components and lights brightening up the internals. The cable extensions are a perfect choice, and the white RAM, radiator, and case fans really bring this build to life. This is beautiful.
Price to Performance Value
I honestly had to do a little research here because I was afraid this was going to be too expensive for an RTX 3080 build off the top of my head. Good thing I was leaning the wrong way because it turns out that this build is still somehow rocking great price to performance value, and it’s actually the literal cheapest RTX 3080 build on the platform right now. Gaming Workstations is also including free shipping on this one, which increases the value even more in comparison to the other builds.
First Upgrades
This type of system is pretty close to maxing out it’s potential, so I wouldn’t say there’s any immediate upgrades here. Realistically, the first thing that a gamer might require is more than 1TB of storage, and that can easily be addressed with an additional 1TB or 2TB drive using the open motherboard slots.
Conclusion
Gaming Workstations continues to prove why they are one of the most successful sellers on the platform with a build like this, and it’s definitely worth considering if you’re hunting for a 1440p prebuilt gaming PC.
