Compact Budget Gaming PC – Ryzen 5 5500 / Intel B580 12GB / 16GB RAM

Hand-built gaming PC designed to deliver excellent 1080p gaming performance without the size or cost of a typical gaming tower.

Looking for a capable gaming PC without spending a fortune or giving up half your desk to a giant tower? This compact build pairs a Ryzen 5 5500 6-core/12-thread processor with an AsRock Intel B580 12GB GPU and 16GB of DDR4 memory for a very capable 1080p gaming machine.

The system was built with value and practicality in mind. It is a clean, quiet computer with an additional m.2 slot on the motherboard and overhead on the PSU for CPU, GPU, or storage upgrades.

📦 Why This Build?

Compact. Capable. Affordable.

This is a great option for someone who wants a legitimate gaming PC without paying extra for unnecessary features. The Intel b580's 12GB of VRAM gives it plenty of breathing room for modern 1080p gaming, while the 16GB of system memory is more than enough for gaming, multitasking, school/work applications, and general use.

The Zalman Cubix-G Mini Tower keeps the overall footprint considerably smaller than a conventional gaming tower, making this a good choice for a smaller desk, bedroom, dorm, office, or living-room setup.

Note: the fans in the Zalman Cubix-G are fixed RGB fans. Their color cannot be controlled.
