I built this custom gaming PC in 2021 with recycled parts from an older system. I have since replaced those with a new CPU, GPU, RAM, radiator, and PSU. The CPU, radiator, and RAM were purchased a little earlier in 2025. I am including 2 coolers. The air cooled radiator is the new one. The liquid AIO cooler worked great in the past but has been sitting unused since 2022.
As far as performance goes, there isn't a game I haven't been able to play out of the box at 60+ FPS with at least medium settings at 1080p resolution. Many demanding titles in UE5 are playable with high FPS on higher settings by using the right mods and engine.ini edits. Games like Cyberpunk 2077 will run at well above 60 FPS with an ultra, non raytracing preset. Poorly optimized titles like Monster Hunter Wilds will run above 60 FPS with a few performance mods. You should even be able to play many slightly older titles at 1440p. While the RX 6600 is capable of raytracing, I find that - in most cases - the performance hit you'll get by using RT isn't worth the visual improvement it brings. In other words, Cyberpunk on ultra at 80 FPS is much more enjoyable than ultra + raytracing at 40 FPS.
Case - Cooler Master MasterBox TD500 ATX Mid-Tower Black
Works with ATX, mini, and micro boards. Polygonal mesh front panel. Crystalline tempered glass with pattern, 6 ARGB fans, 2 removable shelves for HDD/SDD installation, large radiator support for upgraded cooling, *missing top dust mesh
Display - Sceptre 24-Inch FHD 1080p Curved 144 Hz
SDR, Eyefinity, FreeSync/GSync compatible, HDMI, DisplayPort, VESA mounting pattern, *the monitor functions perfectly at 60 Hz, but will display bars at higher refresh rates when not warmed up. This is an issue with internal components and is fixable DIY or for a reasonable rate at a repair shop (less than the cost of a new monitor of the same quality).
All of the above costs about $1000 new. I'm open to offers, so dm me if you have any questions.
I transferred my storage devices to my new build, which is why this PC doesn't come with any installed. SATA SSD's are cheap and easy to install, and I am an experienced builder of gaming PC's, so I'll be happy to walk you through the installation of any parts you need for this build if you ask. I can even install parts for you if you bring them to me - no extra charge.
I am located in Gainesville, and I often travel around Ocala, Deltona, and Orlando. I'd be open to meeting somewhere in the region to deliver.
