Affordable NVIDIA RTX 3050 Gaming PC – Built in the UK
The Stealth R Gaming PC is an affordable NVIDIA RTX 3050 gaming PC for 1080p esports and modern games, with a Ryzen 5 5500 processor and ARGB lighting.
The Stealth R Gaming PC is a great-value Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 3050 system built for smooth 1080p gaming on a budget. Its six-core, twelve-thread AMD Ryzen 5 5500 pairs with the 6GB NVIDIA RTX 3050 and 16GB of DDR4 to run popular esports and modern games at 1080p, making it an ideal first gaming PC.
Housed in a compact Vida Genesis chassis with tempered glass and ARGB lighting, this affordable NVIDIA RTX 3050 gaming PC packs solid 1080p performance and a great look into a budget-friendly package.
The Stealth R Gaming PC is built on an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 6 core, 12 thread processor with an AMD stock CPU cooler, a Gigabyte A520M K V2 motherboard, 6GB NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 graphics and 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory in a dual-channel 2 x 8GB kit. Storage is a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, power comes from a Contour 550W ATX power supply, and the system sits in a Vida Genesis Black case. It ships with genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.
NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB – Ray Tracing & DLSS
Graphics come from the NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB, built on NVIDIA’s Ampere architecture with dedicated RT and Tensor cores. It runs popular esports titles at high frame rates and modern games at 1080p with good settings, and supports NVIDIA DLSS to boost frame rates in supported games as well as ray tracing for enhanced visuals.
The card’s efficient, compact design also includes NVIDIA’s NVENC encoder for game streaming and recording. For higher-refresh 1080p or 1440p gaming, a system with a more powerful graphics card would be a better fit.
AMD Ryzen 5 5500 – Six Cores for 1080p Gaming
The six-core, twelve-thread AMD Ryzen 5 5500 boosts to 4.2GHz and provides the processing power for smooth 1080p gaming and everyday multitasking. It keeps games running fluidly alongside background applications such as Discord and web browsing, and an AMD cooler keeps it running cool and quiet.
Fast 1TB NVMe Storage
Games, applications and Windows load from a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 NVMe M.2 solid-state drive for fast boot times and quick level loading, a big step up from a traditional hard drive. The drive is a PCIe 4.0 model, but the A520 motherboard’s M.2 slot runs at PCIe 3.0 x4, so it performs at PCIe 3.0 speeds. The motherboard has SATA ports for adding more storage as your game library grows, and the whole system is covered by a 3-year warranty.
Vida Genesis – Compact ARGB Chassis
The Stealth R Gaming PC is built in the Vida Genesis, a compact mini tower with a tempered-glass side panel and two pre-installed 120mm ARGB fans that add vibrant lighting and keep the system cool. Its small footprint fits neatly on a desk, and front-panel USB ports and audio jacks make everyday connections easy.
Gigabit LAN, Wi-Fi 5 & 7.1 Audio
Wired networking runs over Gigabit Ethernet from the Gigabyte A520 motherboard, while an included dual-band Wi-Fi 5 USB adapter adds wireless connectivity for rooms without a wired connection. The board provides 7.1-channel high-definition audio and a range of USB ports for your peripherals and accessories.

What is the Stealth R Gaming PC best for?
The Stealth R Gaming PC is an entry-level 1080p gaming PC built for smooth, enjoyable play on a budget. The RTX 3050 runs popular esports titles such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Rocket League at high frame rates at 1080p, and handles lighter games like GTA V, Overwatch 2 and Minecraft comfortably. Modern AAA games such as Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy run at 1080p with medium settings, with NVIDIA DLSS available to boost frame rates in supported titles.
The RTX 3050 also supports ray tracing for enhanced lighting in supported games, and its NVENC encoder makes it capable for entry-level game streaming and recording. Its 6GB of memory is suited to 1080p gaming. For higher-refresh 1080p, 1440p gaming, or more demanding titles at maximum settings, a system with a more powerful processor and graphics card would offer more headroom.
Where does the Stealth R Gaming PC sit in the range?
The Stealth R Gaming PC is one of the entry-level RTX 3050 systems in the Punch Technology gaming range. Just below it, the Warrior Gaming PC pairs an Intel Core i3-12100F 4 core processor with the same RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB of DDR4 and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Above it, the Warrior X Gaming PC uses a six-core Intel Core i5-12400F with the same graphics card, memory and storage. The Steel Gaming PC also lists the Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB of DDR4 and 1TB NVMe SSD, so compare the full specifications of the two to see how they differ. For 1440p or higher frame rates, a system with a more powerful graphics card is the better route.
Frequently Asked Questions
What games can the Stealth R Gaming PC run at 1080p?
The Stealth R Gaming PC is built for 1080p gaming. It runs popular esports titles such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Rocket League at high frame rates, plays GTA V, Overwatch 2 and Minecraft comfortably, and handles Cyberpunk 2077 and Hogwarts Legacy at medium settings. NVIDIA DLSS is available to boost frame rates in supported games, and the card also supports ray tracing for enhanced visuals.
Is the Stealth R Gaming PC good for streaming?
It is capable for entry-level streaming and recording. The NVIDIA RTX 3050 includes NVIDIA’s NVENC encoder, and the six-core Ryzen 5 5500 has the cores to game and run streaming software. For more demanding streaming setups or higher-quality encoding, a system with a more powerful CPU and graphics card would offer more headroom.
Can I upgrade the memory and storage later?
Yes, within the limits of the board. The Gigabyte A520M K V2 has two DIMM slots, both filled by the 2 x 8GB kit, and supports up to 64GB, so more memory means replacing the kit. The M.2 slot is used by the 1TB WD Blue SN5100 SSD, but the board has four free SATA ports and the case has mounts for two 3.5in drives and one 2.5in drive.
Does the Stealth R Gaming PC have Wi-Fi?
Yes. The Stealth R Gaming PC includes a dual-band Wi-Fi 5 USB adapter for wireless networking, alongside Gigabit Ethernet on the motherboard for a fast wired connection. This makes it easy to place the system in a room with or without a network cable.
Who is this PC best suited for?
The Stealth R Gaming PC is best suited to gamers who want solid, great-value 1080p performance for esports and modern titles, in a compact, ARGB-lit chassis. It makes an excellent first gaming PC or a cost-effective entry into PC gaming. Gamers who want higher frame rates or to play at 1440p should consider a system with a more powerful graphics card.
Can I change the components on the Stealth R Gaming PC?
Yes. Like all Punch Technology configurable systems the Stealth R Gaming PC is built to order, so memory, storage, the graphics card and other components can be adjusted to suit your needs and budget before it is built. Every system is then assembled and tested in the UK before dispatch, and the estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.
