Metal R Ryzen Gaming PC

AMD Ryzen 7 5700X & RX 9060 XT Gaming PC – Built in the UK

The Metal R is a high-performance AMD Ryzen 7 5700X RX 9060 XT gaming PC, ideal for 1080p and 1440p gaming and for fast-paced competitive play, AAA gaming, and content creation alongside gaming.

The Metal R is an AMD Ryzen 7 5700X RX 9060 XT gaming PC built for smooth, high-refresh gaming at 1080p and 1440p. It teams AMD’s eight-core, sixteen-thread Ryzen 7 5700X with the RDNA 4 Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, backed by 32GB of dual-channel DDR4 and fast PCIe 4.0 NVMe storage for a system that handles demanding modern titles with room to spare.

Housed in a black mesh-fronted Phanteks chassis with four 140mm D-RGB fans, this all-AMD Ryzen 7 5700X RX 9060 XT gaming PC keeps its cool under load while looking the part on any desk.

Fast 1TB PCIe 4.0 NVMe Storage

Games, applications and Windows all load from a 1TB NVMe M.2 solid-state drive rated up to 6000MB/s read and 4000MB/s write. Because the Gigabyte B550 Eagle WiFi6 runs its primary M.2 slot at PCIe 4.0, the drive delivers those full speeds here, for near-instant boot times and fast level loading in large open-world games. A second M.2 slot and four SATA ports remain free, so there is ample room to add more storage as your library grows, and the whole system is covered by a 3-year warranty.

AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB – RDNA 4 Architecture

Graphics come from the AMD Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB, built on AMD’s latest RDNA 4 architecture with 3rd-generation ray tracing accelerators and 2nd-generation AI accelerators. Its generous 16GB of GDDR6 memory is well suited to high-detail textures at 1080p and 1440p, where the card delivers high frame rates in competitive shooters and smooth, high-quality visuals in demanding AAA games.

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 adds machine-learning upscaling to boost frame rates further in supported titles, while AMD Fluid Motion Frames and HYPR-RX help keep gameplay fluid and responsive. The 16GB frame buffer also gives the card useful headroom for streaming and content creation alongside gaming.

Phanteks XT Pro Ultra – Black High-Airflow Chassis

The Metal R is built in the Phanteks XT Pro Ultra, a black ATX mid-tower with an ultra-fine performance mesh front for high airflow and a tempered-glass side panel that shows off the build. Four 140mm D-RGB fans are fitted as standard, providing strong intake and exhaust to keep the eight-core CPU and RX 9060 XT running cool under load.

There is generous room for large graphics cards and tidy cable routing, and the top panel supports radiators up to 360mm for future cooling upgrades. Front-panel connectivity includes a fast USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 port alongside USB-A and headset audio for everyday convenience.

Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.3, Gigabit LAN & 7.1 Audio

Connectivity is handled by the Gigabyte B550 Eagle WiFi6 motherboard. Wired networking runs over Gigabit Ethernet for stable, low-latency online play, while built-in 802.11ax Wi-Fi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 cover fast wireless and easy pairing of controllers, headsets and peripherals. Rear connectivity includes USB 3.2 Gen 2 Type-A and USB Type-C ports alongside the case’s front USB-C, and the board’s Realtek codec provides 7.1-channel high-definition audio.

Full Specification

What is the Metal R best for?

The Metal R is primarily a high-refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming PC, built to run today’s most popular and demanding titles at high frame rates. At 1080p it drives competitive games such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Call of Duty: Warzone, Overwatch 2 and Marvel Rivals at very high frame rates for high-refresh monitors. At 1440p it handles AAA titles including Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Hogwarts Legacy, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 smoothly on high settings.

The 16GB of VRAM gives the RX 9060 XT plenty of headroom for high-resolution textures and multitasking, and AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 can lift frame rates further in supported games. The eight-core Ryzen 7 5700X also makes the Metal R capable for streaming and light content creation alongside gaming. This is a 1080p and 1440p system rather than a 4K powerhouse, and AMD’s ray tracing sits a step behind comparable NVIDIA cards, so buyers chasing maximum 4K detail or heavy ray tracing should look further up the range.

Where does the Metal R sit in the range?

The Metal R sits in the mid-range of the Punch Technology line-up. Buyers who want 1440p ultra as a primary resolution, stronger ray tracing or a path to 4K should step up to a system such as the Titanium 9700X with its Radeon RX 9070 XT. For anyone upgrading from an older quad-core PC, a laptop or a console, the Metal R delivers a large jump in gaming performance and modern features, with room to grow over time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What games can the Metal R run?

The Metal R is built for high-refresh 1080p and 1440p gaming. It runs competitive titles such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2 and Call of Duty: Warzone at very high frame rates, and handles demanding AAA games including Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Hogwarts Legacy, Red Dead Redemption 2 and Baldur’s Gate 3 smoothly on high settings at 1440p. AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 is available in supported titles to boost frame rates further.

What resolution is this PC designed for?

The Metal R is designed for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Its Radeon RX 9060 XT 16GB and eight-core Ryzen 7 5700X are an excellent match for high-refresh 1080p play and high-detail 1440p gaming. It can also be used at 4K in less demanding titles, though 1440p is where the system performs at its best.

What is FSR 4?

AMD FidelityFX Super Resolution 4 (FSR 4) is AMD’s machine-learning upscaling technology, exclusive to RDNA 4 graphics cards like the RX 9060 XT in the Metal R. It renders the game at a lower internal resolution and uses AI to reconstruct a sharp, higher-resolution image, raising frame rates while preserving image quality in supported games. It can be combined with AMD Fluid Motion Frames and HYPR-RX for even smoother gameplay.

Does this PC come with a keyboard and mouse?

No, the Metal R is supplied as a desktop tower without a keyboard or mouse, so you can pair it with your own preferred peripherals. Windows 11 Home is genuine and pre-installed, ready to set up on first boot.

Who is this PC best suited for?

The Metal R is best suited to gamers who want strong high-refresh 1080p and 1440p performance without paying flagship prices, players upgrading from an older PC, laptop or console, and anyone who games alongside streaming or light content creation. The 16GB graphics card and eight-core processor also leave useful headroom for the future.

Can this PC be configured with different components?

Yes. Like all Punch Technology systems the Metal R is configurable, so memory, storage, the power supply 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.
