Who the PCBuilder RECON suits
The PCBuilder RECON suits gamers on a budget who play at 1080p, especially popular online games such as Fortnite, Valorant, CS2 and Warzone. The RTX 5050 supports NVIDIA DLSS, which raises frame rates in supported games, and the 1TB SSD has room for several big titles.
It is also a sensible first gaming PC to grow with: the AM5 platform and 650W power supply leave room to add more RAM or a bigger graphics card later.
