If you are looking at this PC, you probably know about the factors affecting gaming performance. If not, see notes at the bottom, before MoBo Full Specs.Fully tested for stability and performance, so you know it will do what the specs on the cpu and gpu say it can do.Crucial P3 1 TB NVME 4.0 on Hyper M.2 Gen4 x 4 slot on the AsRock B650M PhantomGaming Lightning WiFi Motherboard for fastest storage and boot. MoBo features 802.11axWiFi 6E + BT module.PCIe 4.0 slot for faster graphics card performance. (A620 MoBo for AM5 socket has PCIe 3.0)Crucial 32GB DDR5 RAM Kit (4x 8GB)Mllse RTX 3060 Ti 8 GB GDDR6 graphics card with 2 year warranty. Scored 9543 on Cinebench 24 gpu benchmark test vs reference value of 9246, so this one is performing very well.Ryzen 7 7700 cpu scored 34,315 on the Passmark Software cpu benchmark (cpubenchmark.net), where the average for the 7700 is 34,460, so it's performance is right on the mark. It scored 1043 on Cinebench 24 multithread test. The nearest reference value I could find was 1047 for the Ry7 7800X3D. These two score within a few points of each other on Passmark Software (34,229 average for 7800X3D), so again, right on the mark.Under 100% load, the cpu temperature remained under 73C. Under 100% load, the gpu remained under 69C.PCGameBenchmark.com rates this PC at 95% based on its components, meaning it meets recommended system requirements to play 950 of the top 1,000 games. Along with testing benchmarks, this is a way to compare performance. You can go to PCGameBenchmark.com and enter the cpu, gpu, and RAM for a PC you want to compare, and click "Rate My PC" tosee how it rates. It will also say so if the cpu or gpu is limiting performance (See below).Notes:If a seller gives incomplete information, like "i7 3rd Gen" you could be getting a cpu rated anywhere from 1,987 to 8,588 (where the 7700 in this PC is rated at 34,315). BEWARE!Powerful gaming performance requires a powerful graphics card (gpu) AND a powerful central processor (cpu). Generally, if you upgrade one of them, your performance will increase, but if they are not well matched, one of them can cause a severe limitation and in that case a big upgrade on the "wrong one" (the one that is NOT limiting) will provide a small improvement. These two in this PC (the 7700 and the 3060 Ti) are well matched so you can get strong performance from both that will play new games coming out in future years.
