Compact, hand-built, and ready to game.

This is a micro-ATX build I put together myself, and it's in perfect working order. I'm selling it because I simply don't have a use for it anymore, and I'd rather it go to someone who'll actually play on it than sit and collect dust.

The build started from parts that were upgraded out of my main PC, plus a newer graphics card and power supply. The CPU was repasted with Arctic MX-6 during assembly. Everything boots, benches, and games exactly as it should.

What's inside:

• AMD Ryzen 5 5500 — 6 cores / 12 threads, cooled by an AMD Wraith Prism RGB tower cooler

• Sapphire PULSE Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB — the centerpiece of the build. Reviews place this card in the same performance neighborhood as an RTX 5060 Ti / RX 7700 XT, and the 16GB of VRAM means you're not worrying about texture budgets at 1440p.

• MSI PRO B550M-VC WIFI micro-ATX motherboard — built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, external antenna included

• 16GB (2×8GB) TEAMGROUP T-Create Expert DDR4-3600 CL18

• ~1TB total NVMe storage across two drives (details in the honest notes below)

• Thermaltake Toughpower GF1 750W 80+ Gold, fully modular — plenty of headroom, and every cable that isn't pictured is included

• Zalman T3 Plus micro-ATX case with a modified front panel — see below

• Addressable RGB throughout, driven by an included 10-port Thermalright ARGB hub

• upHere ARGB GPU support brace so the graphics card stays perfectly level

About the front panel mod. The Zalman T3 ships with a solid plastic front panel that chokes off airflow. I replaced it with a proper vented panel (AC Infinity 17" passive ventilation grille), so the three front fans actually get air. It looks intentional, and temps are noticeably better for it.

About the fans. The front intake is three ARGB fans — two 140mm and one 120mm — which is why they sit slightly offset in the photos rather than in a neat row. There's also a rear exhaust fan. It's a deliberate setup, not a mistake, and it moves a lot of air quietly.

Choose your OS. Tell me ahead of time and I'll install and configure it before it ships, with all drivers updated:

• Windows 11
• Linux distribution of your choice
• SteamOS

Also included at no extra cost:

• Logitech K120 wired keyboard
• Logitech M510 wireless mouse
• MSI Force GC30 V2 wireless gaming controller (interchangeable D-pads)
• Every PSU cable not shown in the photos
• Wi-Fi antenna

Why buy this instead of a prebuilt? Because someone actually built it by hand, picked each part deliberately, and can tell you exactly what's in it. No proprietary motherboard, no mystery power supply, no glued-in bloatware. It's a standard AM4 platform with room to upgrade later — drop in a 5800X3D down the road and it'll keep up.

Things of note before buying:

This is a used, hand-built machine, assembled from parts that came out of my own PC plus new components. It's not a sealed retail prebuilt. The storage is two 512GB drives, not one 1TB drive.One is an OEM Samsung PM9B1 2230 drive (the short form factor used in laptops) fitted with a 2230-to-2280 adapter bracket and an M.2 heatsink. The other is a standard 2280 NVMe drive rated up to ~1800 MB/s. Together that's about 1TB. Neither is a flagship Gen4 drive — they're fast enough for gaming and everyday use The front panel is modified. Covered above, but it's a modification, not factory. The CPU is the modest part of this build. The graphics card is newer and stronger than the processor, so in CPU-heavy titles the 5500 will be the limiter. It's a great 1080p/1440p combo and a very easy upgrade path later. No monitor included. Keyboard, mouse, and controller are included; a display is not. OS is installed at your request — tell me what you want before I ship.
