The Ryzen 7 7700X is an eight-core AM5 chip. Every system here pairs it with an RTX 5070 12GB, so memory, cooling and the case separate them.
Every pick names its CPU model, graphics, memory and SSD capacity in the listing; we left out renewed units and listings that hide a part behind "brand may vary". We researched the listings and did not test the machines.
