Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 Gaming PC

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Gaming Computer – Built in the UK

The Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 Gaming PC is a high-performance NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 gaming computer for 1440p gaming, streaming and multi-tasking.

 
This NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 gaming computer from Punch Technology pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 processor with 12GB of GDDR7 graphics memory, 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, all in a black Contour EOS ARGB tempered glass case. It is built for players who want smooth 1440p gaming, with ray tracing in the titles that support it, and who keep voice chat, a browser or streaming software open while they play. It is built to order, so you can change parts in the configurator before you order.

 
The Clinch is built on an AMD Ryzen 7 7700 processor (8 cores, 16 threads, 3.8GHz base, 5.3GHz maximum turbo) on an ASUS PRIME B840M-K Micro-ATX motherboard. It has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB GDDR7 graphics card, 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD, cooled by a Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE air cooler and powered by a Contour 650W ATX PSU. It is supplied with Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed) and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Ryzen 7 7700 processor and air cooling

The Ryzen 7 7700 has 8 cores and 16 threads, a 3.8GHz base clock, a maximum turbo of 5.3GHz and 32MB of L3 cache. The high boost clock suits game engines, while the extra cores leave room for voice chat, streaming software and browser tabs running alongside your game. It sits in an AM5 socket on the AMD B840 chipset, so the whole platform uses DDR5 memory. The processor also has integrated graphics. The Thermalright Assassin King 120 SE is a 200W-rated, 148mm tower air cooler, so the system is air-cooled throughout with no liquid loop.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has 6144 cores, 12GB of GDDR7 memory and a 250W power rating. It is the part that sets the Clinch’s target of 1440p gaming at high settings, with ray tracing available in the titles that support it. The graphics card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs and can drive up to 4 monitors, so a multi-monitor desk or a high refresh rate display is well catered for. The exact port layout may vary by card brand.

32GB DDR5 memory and 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage

The Clinch has 32GB of Kingston Fury Beast RGB DDR5 running at 6000MHz with CL36 timings, fitted as two 16GB modules in dual channel. That is plenty for current games with other applications open. The motherboard supports up to 128GB across 2 DIMM slots, and the default kit uses both, so going beyond 32GB later means replacing the pair with larger modules.

The primary drive is a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD rated at 7100MB/s read and 6700MB/s write. It holds Windows 11 and your applications and keeps load times short. The B840 board has 2 M.2 slots, both PCIe 4.0 x4, with one still free. It also has 4 SATA 6Gb/s ports, all unused, and the case has mounts for 2 x 3.5″ and 2 x 2.5″ drives, so adding a second SSD or a large hard drive later needs nothing more than the drive itself.

Contour EOS ARGB case and 650W power supply

The Contour EOS ARGB Glass Black is a mid tower with tempered glass on the front, top and side, so the memory lighting and fans are on show. It comes with 3 x 120mm front fans with LED rings pre-installed. The case measures 480mm deep, 220mm wide and 510mm high, so check your desk or floor space before ordering. Power comes from a Contour 650W ATX PSU, which is non-modular, ATX 2.4 and not efficiency certified (about 85% at 50% load).

Connectivity and ports

Wired networking is a 2.5GbE Realtek LAN port. No Wi-Fi or Bluetooth is built in, so the system is wired by default. If you need wireless, ask Punch about adding a card on 0151 317 9860. The rear panel has 4 x Type-A 5Gbps USB ports and 2 x Type-A USB 2.0 ports, plus the graphics card outputs and a motherboard HDMI 2.1 video output. The front panel has 1 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0 and audio in and out jacks. Sound is High Definition Audio 7.1 from the motherboard’s Realtek codec. Beside the graphics card slot there is a spare PCIe 3.0 x16 slot that runs at x4.

Ideal for

• Gamers playing at 1440p who want high settings and ray tracing
• Streamers and creators who game and run OBS or video editing software at the same time
• Multi-taskers who want an 8 core, 16 thread processor on a DDR5 platform
• Competitive players of CS2, Valorant, Fortnite and Apex Legends
• Buyers who want a build they can tune in the configurator before ordering

The Clinch pairs a fast 8 core processor with a graphics card chosen for 1440p, 32GB of DDR5 and quick PCIe 4.0 storage. It suits anyone looking for a balanced NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 gaming computer that is easy to expand and built in the UK. A free M.2 slot, unused SATA ports and the option to change parts in the configurator keep it flexible as your needs grow.

Built to order and tested in the UK by Punch Technology, every system comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty, backed by over 30 years of PC building experience and our status as an AMD Elite System Builder. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 Gaming PC best for?

The Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 Gaming PC is primarily a 1440p gaming machine. The RTX 5070 sits at the lower end of the high-performance tier, so expect high to ultra settings at 1440p depending on the title. 4K is possible in lighter games, but it is not what this card is tuned for, and players who want 4K at maximum settings should look at a higher graphics tier in the configurator.

In single-player games it is well matched to Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2 with ray tracing, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle and Final Fantasy XVI, although the heaviest of these may need a setting or two eased from maximum. Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024 is within reach at high settings, but sim scenery fills a 1TB drive quickly, so the free M.2 slot is worth using. For online play, CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Overwatch 2 sit comfortably within its reach. Beyond games, the eight cores suit OBS streaming and video editing alongside gaming.

Where does the Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 Gaming PC sit in the range?

Within the AMD Ryzen Gaming range, the Clinch is a DDR5 build with an NVIDIA graphics card chosen for 1440p. Lower in the range, the Vengeance R Gaming PC uses a Ryzen 7 5700X, an AMD Radeon RX 9070 16GB card and 32GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory. The Streaming PC – Ryzen 7 5700X, RTX 5060 pairs the same processor with an RTX 5060 8GB and 16GB of DDR4.

Higher in the range, the Flight Sim PC – Ryzen 5 7600X, RTX 5070 shares the RTX 5070 and 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz but swaps in a Ryzen 5 7600X and a 2TB SSD for simulator work. The Sim Racing Gaming PC – Ryzen 5 9600, RX 9070 GRE uses a Ryzen 5 9600 and a Radeon RX 9070 GRE 12GB with the same 32GB of DDR5. Choose the Clinch when you want an 8 core, 16 thread processor for gaming and multi-tasking.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 run Cyberpunk 2077 at 1440p?

Yes, the RTX 5070 is aimed at 1440p, with high to ultra settings depending on the game. Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Red Dead Redemption 2, Elden Ring, Hogwarts Legacy, Helldivers 2 and Marvel Rivals sit in the same bracket. The most demanding ray tracing settings in the newest titles may need turning down a step. Esports games such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite and Apex Legends sit well inside its capability.

Does the Clinch Ryzen 7 7700 have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

No, there is no built-in Wi-Fi or Bluetooth on the default build. Networking is a wired 2.5GbE Realtek LAN port on the motherboard. If you need wireless, ask Punch about adding a card on 0151 317 9860.

Can I upgrade the memory, storage or graphics card on the Clinch later?

Storage is the easiest upgrade. There is a free PCIe 4.0 x4 M.2 slot, 4 unused SATA 6Gb/s ports, and case mounts for 2 x 3.5″ and 2 x 2.5″ drives. Memory is less flexible: the board supports up to 128GB, but it has only 2 DIMM slots and both hold the 2 x 16GB kit, so more memory means replacing the modules. The RTX 5070 is rated at 250W and the Contour 650W PSU is non-modular and not efficiency certified, so check the power supply against any more powerful card you choose.

Does the Clinch come with Windows, a keyboard and a mouse?

It comes with Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit, supplied genuine and pre-installed. You accept the Microsoft licence terms when you first start it. No keyboard or mouse is included, but you can add monitors, keyboards and mice, webcams and cables from the accessory links on this page.

Who is this PC best suited for?

The Clinch suits the 1440p PC gamer who also streams, edits video or runs several applications at once. The 8 core, 16 thread Ryzen 7 7700 and 32GB of DDR5 serve that mix well, and the free M.2 slot gives room to add storage later. If your priority is 4K at maximum settings, look at a higher-tier graphics card in the configurator.

Can I change the parts in the Clinch before I order?

Yes, the Clinch is a configurable PC, so you can change parts in the configurator before you order. Each system is built to order and tested in the UK, and the estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.
