- Key Specs
- Processor Model: AMD Ryzen 5 5000 Series (Your computer's processor is like its brain. Working in combination with system memory, the power of the processor determines the complexity of software you can run, how many programs you can have open at the same time, and how fast those programs will run. Most computers feature an AMD, Intel or Snapdragon processor.)
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 500 gigabytes
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)

- Processor Model Number: 5600X
- Storage
- Storage Type: SSD
- Total Storage Capacity: 500 gigabytes
- Solid State Drive Capacity: 500 gigabytes (The amount of data that can be stored on the device's solid state drive (SSD). SSD is a flash-based storage with faster speeds than a hard disk drive (HDD).)
- Solid State Drive Interface: SATA (Connects the solid state drive to the host system. PCI and SATA interfaces are the most common; PCI interfaces are typically faster, but SATA interfaces are compatible with a wider range of systems.)
- Memory
- System Memory (RAM): 16 gigabytes (Random-access memory (RAM) is a computing device's short-term data storage, which allows active information to be accessed quickly. The size and type of RAM determines how efficiently the device can handle large amounts of information at one time. For example, gaming or video editing requires more RAM for optimal performance.)
- Type of Memory (RAM): DDR4 (Each type of RAM delivers a different level of speed, bandwidth, energy efficiency and performance.)
- System Memory RAM Speed: 3200 megahertz (How fast the information-storing hardware operates. The faster the RAM, the faster memory can be transferred to other system components. Ultimately, faster RAM improves operational efficiency.)
- Number Of Memory Slots: 4
- Number of Memory Sticks Included: 2
- Graphics
- Graphics Type: Dedicated (Dedicated graphics uses a separate graphics card for processing video images. Because it does not use memory from the system's RAM, there is no extra burden on the CPU and graphics are processed more efficiently. Integrated graphics shares system RAM to process video images.)
- GPU Brand: AMD Radeon
- Graphics: AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT (Often referred to as a "graphics processing unit" (GPU), this device is responsible for displaying image content and decoding/encoding video content in programs and games.)
- Compatibility
- Operating System: Windows 11 Home (The operating system manages all software and hardware, including files, memory and connected devices. Most importantly, it lets you interact with your device and your programs in a visual way; otherwise, you'd be typing computer code to get anything done.)
- Operating System Architecture: 64-bit (An operating system (OS) manages computer hardware, software resources, and programs in conjunction with the system's processor. 64-bit operating systems can handle more data at once than 32-bit systems, resulting in faster speeds, more effiency, and overall improved performance.)
- Motherboard Form Factor: microATX (Physical size of the motherboard, which can determine how many PCIe slots are available. Smaller board means fewer slots and features.)
- Connectivity
- Number of HDMI Outputs (Total): 1
- Number of DisplayPort Outputs (Total): 3
- Number of USB Ports (Total): 9
- Wireless Connectivity: Bluetooth, Wi-Fi (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a short distance without the use of wires or cables.)
- Ethernet Card: 10/100/1000 (Also known as an Ethernet adapter, this card plugs into a computer's motherboard and enables it to access an Ethernet network. Ethernet data transmission speeds are measured in Mbps (megabits per second) and Gbps (gigabits per second). For example, a 10/100 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps, while a 10/100/1000 Ethernet port transmits 10 and 100 Mbps and has a maximum speed of 1000 Mbps (1 Gbps).)
- Number Of Ethernet Ports: 1
- Network Connectivity: None (The manner in which a device sends data to another device over a long distance using a cellular network.)
- Power
- Power Supply Maximum Wattage: 550 watts
- Expansion
- Number of M.2 Slots: 2 (This interface is most commonly used for high-speed solid state drives (SSDs), and is often used in laptops due to its small size.)
- Features
- Customizable Case Lighting: true
- Certifications Listings & Approvals
- ENERGY STAR Certified: false (Devices carrying the ENERGY STAR service mark, such as computer products and peripherals, kitchen appliances, and other products, generally use 20% to 30% less energy than required by federal standards.)
- EPEAT Qualified: false (The Electronic Product Environmental Assessment Tool (EPEAT) was designed to provide an environmental assessment tool for purchasers. In order to qualify for EPEAT, a product must meet all 23 required criteria.)
- Included
- Optical Drive Type: None (An optical disk drive (ODD) uses a laser light to read data from or write data to an optical disc. These discs include CDs, DVDs, and Blu-ray Discs. This allows you to play music or watch movies using prerecorded discs.)
