AMD Ryzen 5 5500 & RX 7600 Gaming PC – Built in the UK
The Halo R Gaming PC is an all-AMD 1080p gaming PC with a Ryzen 5 5500, an 8GB RX 7600, and FSR 3 support.
The Halo R Gaming PC is a great-value Ryzen 5 5500 RX 7600 gaming PC built for smooth, high-frame-rate gaming at 1080p. Its six-core, twelve-thread AMD Ryzen 5 5500 pairs with the 8GB AMD Radeon RX 7600 and 16GB of DDR4 to run modern games at high frame rates, with plenty of performance for esports and AAA titles alike.
Housed in a compact Cougar MG120-G chassis with tempered glass, this all-AMD Ryzen 5 5500 RX 7600 gaming PC packs strong 1080p performance into a tidy, great-looking build.
AMD Radeon RX 7600 8GB – RDNA 3 & FSR 3
Graphics come from the AMD Radeon RX 7600 8GB, built on AMD’s RDNA 3 architecture with 32 compute units and 8GB of GDDR6 memory. It delivers high frame rates at 1080p with maximum settings across modern games, and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution (FSR 3) with Frame Generation boosts frame rates further in supported titles.
The card also includes AV1 encoding, which is ideal for high-quality game streaming and recording, and drives up to four monitors for a multi-screen setup. For 1440p or 4K gaming at maximum settings, a system with a higher-tier 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 streaming software, and an AMD cooler keeps it running cool and quiet.
Fast 1TB NVMe Storage
Games, applications and Windows load from a 1TB NVMe M.2 solid-state drive for fast boot times and quick level loading, a big step up from a traditional hard drive. The motherboard has a spare set of SATA ports for adding more storage as your game library grows, and the whole system is covered by a 3-year warranty.
Cougar MG120-G – Compact Glass Chassis
The Halo R Gaming PC is built in the Cougar MG120-G, a compact micro-ATX case with a dark-tinted transparent front and a tempered-glass side panel that shows off the build. Its small footprint fits neatly on a desk, while support for multiple fans keeps everything cool. 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.
