Gaming PC PENGUIN
🖥️ Current System with RTX 4060
Component | Assessment |
---|---|
CPU: Ryzen 5 5500 | ✅ Good pairing for RTX 4060. Ideal for 1080p, solid at 1440p. May bottleneck a little in CPU-heavy or high-refresh 1440p gaming, but still well-balanced. |
GPU: Galax RTX 4060 OC 8GB | ✅ Excellent 1080p GPU. Superior efficiency and DLSS 3 support. Weaker raw raster vs. 3060, but far better in ray tracing and frame generation. |
RAM: 16GB DDR4 3200MHz (Cuso) | ✅ Standard for modern gaming. Dual-channel, good speed. Enough for most titles today. |
SSD: Kingston NV1 250GB NVMe | ⚠️ Very limited storage. Fast boot drive, but not enough room for more than 1–2 large games. |
Motherboard: Asus Prime B450M-A II | ✅ Solid B450 board. 4 RAM slots, Ryzen 5000 support out of the box. Stronger VRMs and build quality than low-end boards. |
Cooler: Antec A30 PRO | ✅ Basic but sufficient for Ryzen 5 5500 at stock settings. No need to upgrade unless noise or temps are a concern. |
PSU: Raidmax XTB 550W | 🟥 Dangerous. Known for poor quality. Risk of power instability, shutdowns, or damaging your components. Replace ASAP. |
Case: Hybrok Shadow (4x ARGB fans) | ✅ Good airflow, pre-installed fans. Looks and cooling are both solid. |
🎮 Gaming Performance: RTX 4060 + Ryzen 5 5500 (1080p Ultra)
Game | FPS Estimate |
---|---|
GTA V | 140+ FPS |
Call of Duty Warzone | 110–130 FPS |
Elden Ring | 60+ FPS (locked) |
Cyberpunk 2077 | 65–75 FPS (Ultra + DLSS Quality + FG) |
RDR2 | 75–85 FPS (High settings) |
Fortnite | 200+ FPS (DLSS On) |
Valorant / CS2 | 280+ FPS |
Alan Wake 2 / Hogwarts Legacy | 60–75 FPS (DLSS 3 + Frame Gen) |
✅ Fantastic 1080p experience, especially with DLSS 3 & Frame Generation
⚠️ VRAM is 8GB (vs. 12GB on 3060), but newer architecture = more efficiency
✔️ Cooler, quieter, and draws less power than RTX 3060
🔧 Upgrade Analysis
1. 💾 SSD Upgrade: 512GB NVMe – +3,000 DA
✅ Yes – Strongly Recommended
-
250GB fills up fast (especially games like Warzone, Cyberpunk, RDR2)
-
NVMe = fast load times, quick installs, snappier system
2. ⚡ PSU Upgrade: Hybrok 650W 80+ Bronze – +3,500 DA
🟡 Yes – Better, but not ideal
-
Much safer than Raidmax, 80+ Bronze is minimum standard
-
650W is good headroom for this system
-
However, Hybrok isn’t a top-tier PSU brand. It’s okay if you’re on a tight budget, but consider better brands (like Cooler Master, Thermaltake, MSI, Corsair, etc.) when possible
📊 Performance & Value Summary
Aspect | Before Upgrade | After Upgrade | Impact |
---|---|---|---|
Gaming FPS | ✅ High | ✅ Same | No FPS gain, but stability improves |
Storage | ❌ Limited (250GB) | ✅ 762GB total | Huge QoL improvement |
PSU Safety | ❌ Risky (Raidmax) | 🟡 Acceptable (Hybrok 650W) | Major safety/stability gain |
Upgrade Potential | ✅ Decent (B450M-A II) | ✅ Same | 4 RAM slots = 32GB possible |
System Reliability | ⚠️ Poor | ✅ Improved | Less crash/failure risk |
✅ Final Recommendation
For ~6,500 DA, these upgrades are absolutely worth doing, especially:
-
🔋 Replacing the dangerous Raidmax PSU
-
💽 Expanding storage for a modern game library
-
🔧 Using a stable, upgradeable B450 board with Ryzen 5 5500
💡 Suggestion:
If you can stretch your PSU budget a bit (1,000–2,000 DA more), consider a better 80+ Bronze/Gold PSU from a trusted brand. But if not, the Hybrok 650W is still a big step up from Raidmax.
TL;DR:
✅ Very solid 1080p gaming PC
✅ RTX 4060 is great for modern titles, especially with DLSS 3
⚠️ Upgrade SSD + PSU ASAP
📦 Platform is stable and ready for future 32GB RAM or CPU upgrade (like Ryzen 5600)
