This is a neraly all ASUS TUF system. This was the first system I built when I got back into the hobby. I collected all the parts in the midst of the pandemic and crypto mining. It took a while to get all the parts, but once I had them in hand, my daughter and I built it in an afternoon. It's got a little age on it, but it still runs well and can game if you are realistic with the settings. Here's what you are getting.

Case: ASUS TUF Case

Motherboard: ASUS TUF Gaming B550-Pluss [WiFi]

CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 3400G

CPU Cooler: AMD Wraith Cooler

GPU: AMD TUF 1650

RAM: 16GB (2x8) DDR4 3000

NVME: 512GB

WIFI: YES

PSU: ASUS TUF 450

OS: Windows 11

Details: A buddy of mine had been using this as his main office PC for a while. I upgraded him to a new computer. I've gotten this one ready to go up for sale, and it's doing really well. I played some Fortnite, Halo Infinite, and CS2, and it still holds up at 1080p even though it's a little long in the tooth. Fortnite, on DX12 settings picked by the game, ran at 80 to 100 FPS. Halo on low settings and 75% resolution scaling, ran 90+ FPS. CS2 ran OK, pushing over 100 FPS, but felt a little sluggish. I'm pretty sure that's more a CPU bottleneck than a GPU bottleneck. All games were played at 1080P

This is a great basic system with a lot of room for upgrades. Here's what I would do:

1. Upgrade the CPU. Amazon had a Ryzen 5 5500 6-core 12-thread for $75 New. If you are willing to go used, there are a lot of AM4 options out there that can really give this machine a boost.

2. Upgrade the PSU. You can get a decent 750+WATT 80+ Gold PSU for about $70 +/-. (you'll need this for any reasonable GPU upgrade)

3. Upgrade the GPU. An RTX 3070 for around $200 or less would give you a lot of headroom at 1080p. You could go 4000 or 5000 series Nvidia, but make sure you are at least getting a PCI Gen 4 capable CPU, or you'll be running a PCI Gen 5 card on a PCI 3 Gen bus.

If you want to get started on a budget and have a lot of room to grow and gain experience in the hobby, this would be a great starter system.

Other Info: Please review the detailed photos for confirmation of the physical condition and to verify the listed specifications. It will come ready for you to set up Windows 11. Remember, this sale is for the PC ONLY! It does not come with the keyboard, mouse, or monitor.

If you have ANY questions, please reach out. Thank you for checking out my listing.

A Little About Me: I have built computers as a hobby and for work for over 30 years. I build and tinker with them for the fun of it. This unit is one of several that I no longer use and will be listing for sale. I also build custom commissioned systems upon request.
