This build is a solid "1080p hero"—a reliable entry-level gaming PC that focuses on value while still offering enough visual flair to stand out on a desk. It balances older, dependable processing power with a GPU that punches well above its weight class.
The Core Components
• Processor (CPU): The Intel Core i5-6500. While it’s a veteran of the quad-core era, it remains a steady performer for general gaming and multitasking. • Graphics (GPU): The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 1660 Super. This is the star of the show, delivering high frame rates in popular titles like Fortnite, Apex Legends, and Valorant at 1080p settings. • Memory (RAM): 8GB DDR4. This provides the necessary bandwidth for modern apps and smooth gameplay in most mid-range titles. • Storage: A 1TB Inland 2.5-inch SATA SSD. Moving away from loud, slow mechanical hard drives, this SSD ensures the system boots in seconds and games load significantly faster.
Aesthetics and Cooling
The centerpiece of the interior is the Static RGB CPU Cooler. Unlike standard "stock" coolers, this unit features a constant glow of multi-colored LEDs that illuminate the motherboard and surrounding components. Because the colors are static, it provides a consistent, vibrant "rainbow" look without the need for complex software controllers.
