Platinum Pro v2 Gaming PC

High Performance RTX 5070 Gaming Computer – Built in the UK

The Platinum Pro v2 is a high performance RTX 5070 gaming computer for 1440p AAA games, esports and light content creation.

If you want a high performance RTX 5070 gaming computer built on a current Intel platform, the Platinum Pro v2 brings together a 20-core Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 with 12GB of GDDR7 and 32GB of DDR5 memory. It is built to order, so you can change parts in the configurator to suit your budget and your games. Fast NVMe storage for the operating system and a 2TB hard drive for the rest of your library mean the system is ready to use as soon as it arrives.

The Platinum Pro v2 is built on an Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor with 20 cores and 20 threads, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 graphics card with 12GB of GDDR7 and 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory. Storage is a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD plus a 2TB 7200rpm SATA hard drive. It comes with Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed) and a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Intel Core Ultra 7 265K processor

The Intel Core Ultra 7 265K has 20 cores, made up of 8 performance cores and 12 efficiency cores, and runs one thread per core for 20 threads in total. The performance cores have a base clock of 3.9GHz and a maximum turbo of 5.5GHz, backed by 30MB of L3 cache. High single-core boost speed is what keeps frame rates smooth in games, while the extra efficiency cores handle background tasks such as Discord, browsers and recording software. The processor sits in an LGA1851 socket on a Gigabyte B860 DS3H WIFI6E ATX motherboard with the Intel B860 chipset, and it includes integrated graphics as a fallback.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 12GB graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 has 6144 cores and 12GB of GDDR7 video memory, and it is the part that sets the tone for this build. It is aimed squarely at 1440p gaming, where it delivers high settings in demanding modern titles and plenty of headroom in esports games. It sits in the motherboard’s PCIe 5.0 x16 slot. The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 2.1b and 1 x HDMI 2.1b outputs, so you can run up to four monitors (the exact layout may vary by card brand).

32GB DDR5 memory and two kinds of storage

The 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz CL36 memory is fitted as a dual-channel 2 x 16GB kit, which is comfortable for current games with a browser, chat and streaming software open alongside. The motherboard has four DIMM slots with two used, and supports up to 256GB. The 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD (7100MB/s read, 6700MB/s write) holds Windows and your most-played games, so boot and load times stay short. The 2TB Seagate BarraCuda 3.5in SATA hard drive (7200rpm) gives you bulk space for the rest of your library, recordings and files.

Antec FLUX case and air cooling

The Antec FLUX in Wood/Black is a mid tower with a 4mm tempered glass side panel, and its wood and black finish makes it stand out from the usual all-black gaming case. It is built around airflow, with three 120mm PWM fans at the front, a 140mm PWM fan at the rear and a 120mm PWM reverse fan on the PSU shroud, all pre-installed. The processor is cooled by a Thermalright Peerless Assassin 120 Mini dual-tower air cooler (135mm), so there is no liquid cooling to maintain. Power comes from a Contour 850W ATX 3.1 non-modular PSU. The case measures 484mm deep, 239mm wide and 502mm high.

Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth and USB connectivity

Networking is covered by a 2.5Gb Ethernet port, built-in Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3, with 7.1-channel High Definition Audio on the motherboard. The rear panel includes a 20Gbps USB-C port and a 10Gbps USB Type-A port. The front panel adds a 10Gbps USB-C port, two USB 3.0 Type-A ports and a headphone/microphone combo jack. Two M.2 slots (one free), four SATA 6Gb/s ports (one used) and case mounts for two 3.5in and three 2.5in drives leave room to add storage later.

Ideal for

• 1440p gamers who want high settings in modern AAA titles
• High-refresh esports players in CS2, Valorant, Fortnite and Apex Legends
• Gamers who stream or record with OBS Studio while they play
• Buyers who want fast SSD storage plus a large hard drive for a big game library
• Anyone who wants a DDR5 Intel platform with room to add memory and storage later

For buyers who want a high performance RTX 5070 gaming computer without paying for a flagship, the Platinum Pro v2 is a well-balanced choice. The Core Ultra 7 265K keeps the graphics card fed, 32GB of DDR5 gives it plenty of memory, and the NVMe and hard drive pairing covers both speed and capacity. Because it is built to order, you can adjust the specification in the configurator before you buy.

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. The estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

What is the Platinum Pro v2 best for?

The Platinum Pro v2 is primarily a 1440p gaming PC. The RTX 5070 12GB is matched to a fast 20-core processor, so modern AAA games run at high settings on a 1440p monitor and esports titles have plenty of headroom for high refresh rates. It can also play at 1080p, but 1440p is the resolution it is built for.

In practice that means games such as Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Assassin’s Creed Shadows, Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Final Fantasy XVI and Red Dead Redemption 2 on high settings. Competitive games including CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Overwatch 2 sit comfortably within its reach. It also handles light content creation, OBS Studio streaming and video editing alongside gaming.

Where does the Platinum Pro v2 sit in the range?

Two nearby systems give useful comparisons. The Streaming PC – Ryzen 7 8700F, RTX 5060 Ti uses an AMD Ryzen 7 8700F, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, 32GB of DDR5 6000MHz and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 NVMe SSD, and it is the more modest option. The Titanium R Ryzen Gaming PC pairs an AMD Ryzen 7 5800X on DDR4 3200MHz memory with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB. It has the stronger graphics card, while the Platinum Pro v2 offers a newer Intel platform with DDR5 memory and a 2TB hard drive alongside its SSD.
