WASD Starter RTX Gaming PC

WASD Starter RTX Gaming PC

A no-nonsense entry point into PC gaming, built for smooth 1080p performance without the premium price tag. The WASD Starter pairs AMD's Ryzen 5 5500 with an RTX 5050 to handle today's popular titles and esports favourites at solid frame rates, all housed in a Formula V Line Air Mesh G3 Plus case with tempered glass and ARGB lighting so it looks the part too — and it comes with Windows 11 Home pre-installed, so it's ready to game the moment you plug it in.

Whether you're upgrading from console, building your first gaming setup, or just want a reliable machine for everyday use and light creative work, this build gives you real gaming performance without unnecessary extras — and it's easy to upgrade down the track as your needs grow.

Specs

• CPU: AMD Ryzen 5 5500 (6-core / 12-thread)
• GPU: Palit GeForce RTX 5050 Dual
• Memory: 16GB DDR4
• Motherboard: B550M-H ARGB
• Storage: Crucial E100 480GB SSD
• Power Supply: SilverStone 550W
• Case: Formula V Line Air Mesh G3 Plus (Micro-ATX, tempered glass side panel, 4x 120mm ARGB fans)
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home

Note: the case's front-panel USB-C port is not connected — the B550M-H ARGB motherboard doesn't have a USB-C header, only a USB 3.0 header, so this port is capped off and not usable.

Why it's a good starting point

The Ryzen 5 5500 gives you enough cores to handle gaming and multitasking without bottlenecking the RTX 5050, and 16GB of DDR4 covers the sweet spot for modern games. The B550M-H ARGB motherboard keeps things tidy with onboard lighting control, and a dependable SilverStone 550W supply gives the system stable power with room to spare. Fast NVMe storage from Crucial means quick boot times and snappy load screens from the moment you switch it on.

The Air Mesh G3 Plus case pulls it all together — a wavy mesh front panel for airflow, tempered glass to show off the internals, and four ARGB fans straight out of the box (that's the lighting you can see in the product photos).

With Windows 11 Home already installed and activated, there's no setup faff — unbox it, plug it in, and start playing.

Every WASD prebuild is assembled, tested, and quality-checked in-house before it leaves our Mayfield store, so it's ready to game the moment it arrives.
