Stealth X Gaming PC

AMD Ryzen 5 5500 Desktop Gaming Computer with RTX 3050 – Built in the UK

The Stealth X is an entry-level AMD Ryzen 5 5500 desktop gaming computer for 1080p esports and popular online games at medium settings.

 
The Stealth X pairs a six core AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB graphics card, 16GB of dual channel DDR4 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD. That makes it a sensible Ryzen 5 5500 desktop gaming computer for a first gaming PC, a family machine or anyone who wants a dedicated graphics card without stepping up to a high-end build. It is built to order in the UK, so you can change parts in the configurator to suit your needs, and the estimated lead time for your configuration is shown when you order.

 
The Stealth X is built on an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 processor (6 cores, 12 threads, 3.6GHz base and 4.2GHz max turbo) on a Gigabyte B550 Eagle ATX motherboard. It has an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory in a 2 x 8GB dual channel kit and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD. It runs Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed) and comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Six cores and twelve threads for 1080p gaming

The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 runs at a 3.6GHz base clock with a maximum turbo of 4.2GHz and has 16MB of L3 cache. Six cores and twelve threads give plenty of headroom for current games, plus Discord, a browser and background apps running alongside. The processor has no integrated graphics, which is why the RTX 3050 is fitted as standard and every monitor connects to the graphics card. The processor is cooled by the AMD stock air cooler. It sits on a Gigabyte B550 ATX motherboard with four DIMM slots.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 has 2304 cores and 6GB of GDDR6 video memory, and it is tuned for smooth 1080p play rather than high resolutions. That is the right match for the Ryzen 5 5500: both are aimed at a 1080p monitor and medium to high settings in the games people play most. The card provides 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a and 1 x HDMI 2.1 outputs (the layout can vary by card brand) and supports up to 4 monitors. If you want a bigger step up in graphics power, change the card in the configurator.

16GB DDR4 memory and a 1TB NVMe SSD

The 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory is fitted as a 2 x 8GB kit so it runs in dual channel mode, which suits Ryzen processors. The board has four DIMM slots with two used and supports up to 128GB, so adding memory later is simple. The 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD is rated at up to 7100MB/s read and 6700MB/s write. It holds Windows, your applications and a good-sized games library, and loads them far faster than a hard drive would. There is a second M.2 slot free, four SATA ports unused, and case mounts for one 3.5in and one 2.5in drive if you need more space.

Vida Solus aRGB case and cooling

The Vida Solus aRGB Black is a mid tower case with a tempered glass side panel. It comes with three 120mm ARGB fans at the front and one 120mm ARGB fan at the rear, all pre-installed, so air flows through the case from the start. It measures 438mm deep, 210mm wide and 485mm high. The Ryzen 5 5500 uses the AMD stock air cooler and there is no liquid cooling. Power comes from a Contour 550W ATX power supply (non-modular).

Connectivity

The front panel has 2 x USB-C, 1 x USB 3.0 and an HD audio jack. At the rear are 1 x Type-A 10Gbps, 1 x Type-C 5Gbps, 3 x Type-A 5Gbps and 4 x Type-A USB 2.0 ports, plus a 1GbE Ethernet port. Wireless comes from a 600Mbps 11ac dual band USB Wi-Fi 5 adapter, and Bluetooth 5.3 is built in. Audio is Realtek 7.1 HD Audio. The HDMI output on the motherboard is not active, so connect your monitors to the graphics card. No keyboard or mouse is included, and the buttons below link to monitors, keyboards and mice, webcams and cables.

Ideal for

• First-time gaming PC buyers who want smooth 1080p play
• Esports and online players in titles such as CS2, Valorant and Fortnite
• Students and teenagers who need a PC for both study and games
• Families and small businesses wanting a capable general-purpose PC with a dedicated graphics card
• Buyers who want a solid base with room to add memory and storage later

If you are looking for a Ryzen 5 5500 desktop gaming computer at the entry level, the Stealth X is well balanced. Six cores and twelve threads, a 6GB RTX 3050, dual channel DDR4 and a 1TB NVMe SSD all suit a 1080p setup, and the ARGB mid tower case and expansion room leave space to grow. Change any part in the configurator to match your own plans.

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 Stealth X best for?

The Stealth X is primarily a 1080p gaming PC for medium to high settings, with the Ryzen 5 5500 and RTX 3050 6GB working together at that resolution. It suits players who spend most of their time in esports and online titles and want steady frame rates on a standard 1080p monitor.

Competitive and popular games such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2 and Rocket League are the natural fit. It also copes well with everyday use such as study, browsing, streaming video and family or small business work. 1440p gaming, heavy ray tracing and demanding AAA titles at high settings are outside its target.

Where does the Stealth X sit in the range?

The Stealth X is an entry-level Ryzen gaming build. The Steel Gaming PC lists the same Ryzen 5 5500, RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB DDR4 and 1TB SSD, so compare the two pages for case and other differences. The Warrior X Gaming PC keeps the RTX 3050 6GB but uses an Intel Core i5-12400F processor, which suits buyers who prefer an Intel platform. For more power, the 14th Gen Multi Monitor i5 Workstation and the Entry Pro Graphics Workstation PC V2 step up to a 10 core Intel Core i5-14400 or i5-14400F and DDR5 memory, and are aimed at workstation use.

Frequently Asked Questions

What games can the Stealth X run at 1080p?

The Stealth X runs CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Overwatch 2, Rocket League, Minecraft, GTA V, EA FC, F1 and Roblox at 1080p with medium to high settings. Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 are playable at medium settings with DLSS. The 6GB of video memory and entry-level RTX 3050 mean the most demanding AAA titles are best played at lower settings.

Can the Stealth X play games at 1440p?

The Stealth X is designed for 1080p, and 1440p is not its target. Lighter esports titles may be playable at 1440p with settings turned down, but for a 1440p monitor you should look at a PC with a more powerful graphics card. You can also change the graphics card in the configurator.

Can I upgrade the Stealth X later?

Yes, there is room to add memory and storage. The motherboard has four DIMM slots with two used and supports up to 128GB of RAM. There is a free M.2 slot, four unused SATA ports and case mounts for one 3.5in and one 2.5in drive. The graphics card sits in a PCIe 4.0 x16 slot.

Does the Stealth X have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

Yes. Wireless comes from a 600Mbps 11ac dual band USB Wi-Fi 5 adapter, and Bluetooth 5.3 is built in. For a wired connection there is a 1GbE Ethernet port on the rear panel.

Who is this PC best suited for?

The Stealth X is best suited to first-time gaming PC buyers, students and families who want smooth 1080p gaming in games such as Fortnite, CS2 and Valorant. It also suits small businesses and home users who want a general-purpose PC with a dedicated graphics card and room to upgrade.

Can I change the parts, and what is included?

Yes. The Stealth X is built to order, so you can change parts in the configurator and the estimated lead time is shown when you order. It comes with Microsoft Windows 11 Home 64-bit (genuine, pre-installed) and a 3-year parts and labour warranty. No keyboard or mouse is included, so add a monitor, keyboard and mouse using the accessory buttons.
