The Best AMD Ryzen 7 Gaming PCs
Five AMD Ryzen 7 gaming PCs on AM5, from RTX 5060 to RX 9060, each with its CPU, graphics, memory and storage named.
By Alex Morgan, PC Hardware Editor
12 min read5 products evaluated
Ryzen 7 covers several generations. These five use AM5 chips (7700, 8700F and 9700-series), which pair with DDR5 and leave room for a later CPU upgrade.
We compared the parts each listing names: CPU, graphics card and VRAM, memory, storage and, where stated, the power supply and warranty. We did not test these systems, and we skipped listings that leave a core part vague.

Our Picks
White Build1 of 5
LXZ Prebuilt Gaming PC (Ryzen 7 8700F, RTX 5060)

Why we like it
It also comes with a white Dreamer case with a tempered glass side. The power supply is rated at 650W. You get an RTX 5060 graphics card here, which sets it apart from the CyberPowerPC 8700F RTX 5060 Ti and its an RTX 5060 Ti graphics card.
It shares a ryzen 7 8700F processor with the KOTIN 8700F RTX 5060 Ti and CyberPowerPC 8700F RTX 5060 Ti; the Slate RX 9060 goes with a ryzen 7 9700F processor. Check the LXZ 8700F RTX 5060's ports against your monitor: most graphics cards use DisplayPort and HDMI, so match the cable to the refresh rate you want. The 650W power supply is the stated figure; check its connectors before a later GPU upgrade.
With 16GB installed, check for free memory slots before adding more. It cost the least of the 5 picks at the time of writing, with the Aegis ZS RTX 4060 the next step up.

How We Chose These AMD Ryzen 7 Gaming PCs
Alex Morgan compared the manufacturer specifications, connectivity, warranty terms and compatibility of every pick. Figures come from the makers unless a third-party source is named; we did not test these products ourselves.
- What we compared
