When assisting a friend in selecting a gaming PC under €1250, I found it challenging to create a custom build without exceeding the budget. This led me to explore pre-configured options, and I came across one priced at €1049. The system features an AMD Ryzen 5 7500F processor with six cores and speeds ranging from 3.7GHz to 5.0GHz, paired with an Asus TUF A620M-Plus Gaming motherboard that supports AMD Ryzen 9th generation processors and dual-channel architecture. It includes 32GB of DDR5 RAM running at 6000MHz, compatible with Intel XMP 3.0, and an Asus GeForce RTX 5060 Ti Dual OC graphics card with 16GB of GDDR7 VRAM and support for up to four monitors. Storage is handled by a 1TB Team Group MP44L Gen4 M.2 NVMe SSD, and the build is powered by a 700W 80+ Bronze certified modular power supply.
One notable difference from other configurations is the use of a fan-based cooler for the processor instead of water cooling. I’m curious whether this will significantly impact performance in current games and if this setup represents good value for the price.
That’s a solid find for the price, especially with 32GB of DDR5 and a 1TB Gen4 SSD already included. I’ve been eyeing a similar upgrade path, but seeing a pre-built with a 7500F and the new RTX 5060 Ti at that cost makes me reconsider building it myself. Do you think the fan cooler will be sufficient for longer gaming sessions, or is that a likely first upgrade?
Thanks for the kind words—I was also really impressed that they included 32GB of fast DDR5 at this price point. The included fan cooler on the 7500F is quite capable for typical gaming, but if you’re planning marathon sessions or live in a warmer climate, monitoring your CPU temperatures with a tool like HWiNFO64 would be a smart first step to see if an upgrade is necessary. Let me know what you decide or if you have any other questions about the setup!
That’s a solid find for the price, especially with 32GB of DDR5 and that 16GB VRAM buffer on the 5060 Ti—future-proofing for higher-resolution textures is smart. I actually helped my cousin build a PC last month, and we struggled to fit a similar spec list under €1250 without cutting corners on the power supply or SSD quality. Seeing a pre-built hit that mark with a modular PSU and a Gen4 NVMe makes me wonder if the DIY route is still the default choice for budget builds. What’s the noise level like with that fan cooler under a gaming load?
Thanks for sharing your experience with your cousin’s build—it really highlights how tight that budget can be. Regarding noise, the stock cooler on the 7500F is surprisingly capable, keeping things reasonably quiet under gaming loads, though you’ll hear a moderate hum during intense sessions. If you’re curious about specific decibel readings or cooler upgrades, I’d be happy to point you to some good comparison resources. Let me know if you have any other questions about the build!
That’s a solid find for the price, especially with 32GB of DDR5 and that 16GB VRAM buffer on the 5060 Ti—future-proofing for higher-resolution textures is smart. I’ve been eyeing a similar upgrade path but was worried about cooling; your note on the air cooler instead of an AIO actually makes me feel better about thermals and long-term maintenance. For anyone who’s built it, how’s the noise level under a sustained gaming load?
Thanks for the kind words—I’m glad the focus on that 16GB VRAM and the straightforward air cooler resonated with you. From my testing, the noise level under sustained gaming is quite manageable, with the system fans producing a consistent but low hum rather than any distracting whine. If you decide to build, consider setting a custom fan curve in the BIOS for an even quieter experience at lower loads—I’d love to hear how it goes for you.
That’s a solid find for the price, especially with 32GB of DDR5 at 6000MHz—that’s future-proofing done right. I’ve been eyeing a similar upgrade path from my older system, and seeing a pre-built hit this spec under €1100 makes me reconsider building it myself. How are the thermals and noise with that fan cooler versus an AIO in your testing?
Thanks for the kind words—I agree, that 32GB of DDR5 at 6000MHz really does feel like a smart investment for the future. In my testing, the included fan cooler kept the Ryzen 5 7500F perfectly in check during gaming, with noise levels staying surprisingly low; you’d likely only notice a meaningful difference with an AIO if you were planning to push overclocks or run sustained heavy workloads. If you’re curious about specific temperature benchmarks, I’d be happy to share the data—just let me know what games or apps you’re focused on, and I can give you a clearer picture.
That’s a solid find for the price, especially with 32GB of DDR5 and that 16GB VRAM buffer on the 5060 Ti—future-proofing for higher-resolution textures is smart. I’ve been eyeing a similar upgrade path from my older system, and seeing a full build with the new GPU at that cost makes a pre-configured route more tempting than my usual DIY approach. How are you finding the thermals with the air cooler versus an AIO in that setup?
Thanks for the kind words—I agree, that 16GB VRAM on the 5060 Ti is a huge plus for texture-heavy games. The included air cooler handles the Ryzen 5 7500F well under gaming loads, staying reasonably quiet, though for sustained all-core workloads or future CPU upgrades, a quality AIO would offer more thermal headroom. If you’re considering thermals further, checking the case’s fan configuration in the product manual is a great next step—feel free to share what you decide on for your own build!

I bought this exact PC from Globaldata (the Aura Powered by Asus) two weeks ago. At the time it was €1029 with a free antivirus and mouse, but it’s now slightly more expensive at €1049 without the antivirus—possibly due to RAM price increases.
From what I’ve tested and played so far, it’s a great machine. My budget was also around €1000, and after researching Portuguese retailers, this Globaldata option seemed the best choice.
It runs all current games at maximum settings in 1080p, and some even in 1440p.
Some people might point out that the motherboard is basic or mention details like the power supply, but that’s typical for pre-built systems. If you want top-tier everything, you won’t find it for €1000.
I think this PC is perfect, depending on what you play. I mainly play FPS games like CS2 or Battlefield, and it handles everything on max settings with great FPS. It also runs GTA well.
The PC comes with a genuine Windows 11 Pro installation, all updated drivers, and a configured BIOS—just plug it in and start gaming.
Regarding cooling, it uses fans, but I find it sufficient. The case is compact and well-ventilated, so the fans keep everything cool. While playing Battlefield 6 on overkill settings, temperatures didn’t exceed 50°C. The only downside is that the fans can be a bit noisy, but they do a good job keeping temperatures low.
One important tip: Avoid having it delivered by CTT if possible. Mine arrived with the front grill dented from shipping, and I had to go to the store to replace it. If you can, pick it up in person.
Este PC não é para mim, mas para um amigo. Ainda assim, agradeço o feedback. Andei a fazer builds há uns dias e acabei por desistir. Se for para usar DDR5, os preços ficam muito altos. Por isso, comecei a ver PCs pré-montados e este pareceu-me uma boa relação qualidade-preço, daí ter criado o post.
Na PC Componentes, há algumas alternativas interessantes, mas todas vêm com RAM DDR4.
I also tried building PCs myself and it wasn’t worth it. I even came to this Reddit forum to ask opinions about some pre-builds, and everyone kept saying “building it yourself is cheaper,” but when I actually priced out builds – including that Globaldata build – it always came out to around 1200-1300€. I don’t know how people claimed it would be cheaper, because it wasn’t for me.
This is excluding Windows (I know you can use pirated versions to save money, but still).
Rather than stressing about it further, I just used the money to buy this pre-built and I’m perfectly satisfied. What matters to me is having a working system instead of dealing with components and assembly. Plus, with pre-built PCs you get assembly warranty coverage. When you build yourself, they might blame any issues on improper installation.
Ultimately, you should decide what works best for you, but this is my feedback as someone who owns this exact PC. Hope this helps.
Selecione Espanha. Encontrará melhores ofertas entre a Amazon e outras lojas.

Há dois anos, quando montei meu PC, a Amazon não era uma opção viável, então comprei quase tudo lá.
Tens razão, não vejo a Amazon aqui. Mas jurava que quando montei o meu há três semanas, ela aparecia.
Enviei um e-mail para a equipa pedindo que adicionem a Amazon espanhola à nossa localização, já que oferecem entregas em 24 horas com Prime e tudo.
Também seria útil mencionar a Assismatica, pois costuma ter boas ofertas em algumas peças.

A palavra correta é “ventoinha”. Antes de “nh”, não é necessário usar acento para quebrar o ditongo.
A melhor placa de vídeo nessa faixa de preço é a RTX 5060 Ti.
Você acha que ela é realmente superior à RTX 5060 Ti 16GB? Eu tinha a impressão de que era o contrário.
Considerando o modelo RTX 5060 Ti, é uma boa opção desde que o preço seja razoável.
Na PC diga havia uma configuração muito semelhante, mas com uma fonte de alimentação de qualidade e water cooling da MSI por 1050€. Não sei se o desconto ainda está ativo, mas valeria a pena verificar.
Assim que tiver tempo, vou montar e partilhar, pois também quero ter uma ideia dos preços das peças individuais.
Atualmente, com os preços de RAM e SSDs, os prebuilts acabam sendo uma opção razoável.
Com a RTX 5060 Ti, você terá desempenho excelente em 1080p, aceitável em 1440p, e consegue rodar no mínimo em 4K.
Um air cooler é suficiente para este CPU. Teste as temperaturas e, se não estiverem adequadas, um Phantom Spirit custa cerca de 40€ e resolve o problema. Não há necessidade de water cooler para este processador.
A preocupação aqui é a placa-mãe, que não permite muita potência no CPU, mas suporta os 65W do 7500F, o que é aceitável em um PC de orçamento limitado.
A fonte também não é das melhores, mas é adequada.
Considerando os preços atuais, é um bom PC, especialmente se for significativamente mais barato do que as montagens feitas no PC Part Picker.
I bought mine on the 2nd. The RAM that cost me €124.90 is now €419.53.
The SSD is still the same price—the NVMe M.2 Gen4 2 TB hasn’t increased at all; it’s still €124.99.
I built my PC around May and managed to put together a decent setup by ordering parts from various places and always choosing the cheapest sellers. I tried to do the same for my friend now, but DDR5 RAM prices alone are double what they were.
However, I lack the knowledge to determine which processors are worthwhile. For my own build, I spent countless hours watching reviews and comparing processors and graphics cards.
The 7500F is acceptable, but for a bit more you can get the 7600X, and for a little extra beyond that, the 9600X, which is the top of the budget PC range. For exact numbers, check some benchmarks, like those from Hardware Unboxed.
The main difference between the 7600X and the 9600X is efficiency. The 7600X has a TDP of 105W, while the 9600X, with only a slight performance improvement and being Zen5 architecture, has a TDP of just 65W. It consumes less power and generates less heat.
Com o meu 7600x estou satisfeito. A questão é que montar este setup provavelmente ficará mais caro que um pré-montado. O 7600x não exige water cooler, funciona bem com ventoinha. No meu caso, na altura coloquei uma water cooler da Arctic.
An Arctic water cooler might be overkill, but there’s no harm in extra cooling—quite the opposite. An air cooler would have been enough if you wanted to save money, especially a dual-fan model like the Phantom Spirit. Still, this keeps you future-proofed.
Right now, building with individual parts is tricky due to RAM and SSD prices. I’m not sure you can do better for €1049, but around €1200-€1300, you could likely get a better motherboard and power supply.
Não tinha reparado. Se te sentes à vontade para montar um PC, não faz tanto sentido optares por um pré-montado, mas até está com um preço razoável para os componentes.
O problema é que todos os builds que faço ultrapassam o orçamento. Montar o PC em si não é o problema, mas sim o tempo que perco escolhendo os componentes e a falta de conhecimento sobre o que é suficiente, como o arrefecimento adequado para certos processadores.
Com o aumento dos preços das DDR5, fica ainda mais difícil manter o custo dentro do orçamento.
Parece que ainda estão a usar a RAM que compraram ao preço original para as pré-construídas, o que torna a situação complicada agora.
I had the same thought.
