Warrior X Gaming PC

Intel i5-12400F RTX 3050 Gaming Computer – Built in the UK

The Warrior X is an entry-level 1080p gaming PC for esports, online multiplayer and everyday family use.

The Warrior X is an Intel i5-12400F RTX 3050 gaming computer built for smooth 1080p play in popular online titles, and for the homework, browsing and home office work that fills the rest of the day. It pairs a six-core, twelve-thread Intel Core i5-12400F with NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB graphics, 16GB of DDR4 memory and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 NVMe SSD, all in a black tempered glass case with four RGB fans. Every Warrior X is built to order and tested in the UK, and you can change parts in the configurator to suit your own needs.

The Warrior X is built on an Intel Core i5-12400F processor with 6 cores and 12 threads, an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB GDDR6 graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz memory and a 1TB WD Blue SN5100 M.2 NVMe SSD. It runs genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home and comes with a 3-year parts and labour warranty.

Intel Core i5-12400F processor and memory

The Intel Core i5-12400F runs at a 2.5GHz base clock and boosts to a maximum turbo of 4.4GHz across its 6 cores and 12 threads, with 18MB of L3 cache. It sits in an LGA1700 socket on an ASUS PRIME H610M-A WIFI D4 Micro-ATX motherboard with the Intel H610 chipset. That is plenty of processing power for current games at 1080p, and it keeps Windows, web browsers and office applications responsive while a game or video call runs alongside them. The processor is cooled by the Intel standard air cooler.

Memory is 16GB of DDR4 3200MHz, fitted as two 8GB modules so the processor can use dual channel. The board has two DIMM slots and supports up to 64GB, so a larger kit can be chosen in the configurator when you order.

NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB graphics

The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 3050 6GB has 2304 cores and 6GB of GDDR6 memory, and draws 70W. It is aimed at 1080p gaming at medium to high settings, and it supports DLSS to help demanding titles run more smoothly. The Intel Core i5-12400F has no integrated graphics, so every monitor connects to the graphics card. It provides 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a and 1 x HDMI 2.1 and supports up to four monitors, although the exact layout may vary by card brand.

1TB NVMe SSD storage

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, and it holds Windows, your applications and your game library. The M.2 slots on the ASUS PRIME H610M-A are PCIe 3.0, so the drive runs at PCIe 3.0 speeds rather than its full rated figures. It is still an NVMe drive, so boot times and game loading stay quick. There is a second free M.2 slot, four SATA 6Gb/s ports, and case mounts for two 3.5in and two 2.5in drives if you want more storage later.

Contour L08 case, cooling and power

The Contour L08 Glass is a black mid tower with a tempered glass panel on the right and a solid steel panel on the left. Four 120mm RGB fans come pre-installed, three at the front and one at the rear, to keep air moving through the case. The case measures 460mm deep, 205mm wide and 467mm high. Power comes from a Contour 550W ATX power supply (ATX 2.53, non-modular), which is sized for the RTX 3050’s 70W draw.

Connectivity

Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 are built in, and there is a 1GbE Intel LAN port for a wired connection. The rear panel has 2 x Type-A 10Gbps ports and 4 x Type-A USB 2.0 ports, and the front panel adds 1 x USB 3.0, 2 x USB 2.0, a headphone jack and a microphone jack. Audio is Realtek 7.1 HD Audio. No keyboard or mouse is included, so use the accessory links below to add a monitor, keyboard and mouse to your order.

What is the Warrior X best for?

The Warrior X is primarily a 1080p gaming PC, aimed at medium to high settings in esports and popular online titles. The Intel Core i5-12400F gives it solid processing power, and the RTX 3050 6GB handles 1080p well. It is also a capable all-round machine for family use and for home or small business work.

In practice that means titles such as CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Overwatch 2, GTA V, Minecraft, EA FC, F1 and Roblox at 1080p. Heavier games such as Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 are playable at medium settings with DLSS. It is not the right choice for 4K gaming, demanding ray tracing or 1440p ultra settings, where a graphics card with more power and memory is needed.

Where does the Warrior X sit in the range?

The Warrior X is the Intel option among the entry-level RTX 3050 6GB systems. The Steel Gaming PC and the Stealth R Gaming PC sit below it, each built on an AMD Ryzen 5 5500 with the same RTX 3050 6GB, 16GB of DDR4 and a 1TB SSD. The Stealth X Gaming PC is the step up on the AMD side with the same listed core parts. For a newer platform, the 14th Gen Multi Monitor i5 Workstation uses an Intel Core i5-14400 with 10 cores and 16GB of DDR5 5600MHz memory.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can the Warrior X run Fortnite and Cyberpunk 2077 at 1080p?

Yes, the Warrior X is built for 1080p gaming at medium to high settings. It runs CS2, Valorant, Fortnite, Apex Legends, Rocket League, Overwatch 2, GTA V and Minecraft well, and heavier games such as Hogwarts Legacy and Cyberpunk 2077 are playable at medium settings with DLSS. It is not designed for 4K or for demanding ray tracing.

Can I upgrade the memory in the Warrior X?

Yes, the motherboard supports up to 64GB of DDR4. The 16GB fitted is two 8GB modules in the board’s two DIMM slots, so a bigger upgrade means replacing the modules. If you know you want more, choose a larger memory kit in the configurator when you order.

Does the Warrior X have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?

Yes, Wi-Fi 5 and Bluetooth 5.0 are built in. There is also a 1GbE Intel LAN port if you prefer a wired connection to your router.

Can I plug my monitor into the motherboard on the Warrior X?

No, you need to plug it into the graphics card. The Intel Core i5-12400F has no integrated graphics, so the video outputs on the motherboard are not active. The RTX 3050 provides 3 x DisplayPort 1.4a and 1 x HDMI 2.1 and supports up to four monitors, though the layout may vary by card brand.

Who is this PC best suited for?

The Warrior X is best suited to first-time gaming PC buyers, families and home office or small business users who want an Intel system that also plays popular games at 1080p. It is a good fit for esports and online multiplayer players. Gamers who want 1440p ultra or 4K should look at a higher-tier graphics card.

Does the Warrior X come with Windows and a warranty?

Yes, it comes with genuine, pre-installed Microsoft Windows 11 Home and a 3-year parts and labour warranty, with free returns on warranty claims in the first year. No keyboard or mouse is included, so add those to your order from the accessory links on this page.
