Introduction

This review dives deep into the performance and overall experience of a pre-built gaming PC featuring an Intel Core i5-10400F processor, an RX 580S graphics card, 8GB of RAM, and a combination of SSD and HDD storage. Housed in a stylish TrueNort TN-19 RGB case and running Windows 11 Pro, this system promises a decent gaming experience at a competitive price point. Over the past few weeks, I’ve put this PC through its paces, testing its capabilities in various games and applications.

Features

The system boasts a solid set of components. The Intel Core i5-10400F provides a reliable foundation for gaming and everyday tasks. The RX 580S, while not the most cutting-edge GPU, still delivers respectable performance at 1080p and even some 1440p gaming. 8GB of RAM is a bit on the lower end for modern gaming, but manageable for many titles. The inclusion of both a 256GB SSD for fast boot times and application loading, and a 1TB HDD for ample storage, is a practical combination. The TrueNort TN-19 case offers a visually appealing design with its RGB lighting.

Performance

In terms of gaming performance, I found the system to handle most AAA titles at 1080p with medium to high settings at acceptable frame rates. More demanding games required tweaking settings to maintain smooth gameplay. The 8GB of RAM occasionally became a bottleneck in some more memory-intensive games, leading to occasional stuttering. Everyday tasks, such as web browsing and productivity software, were handled without any issues. The SSD ensured quick boot times and application loading, which was a significant plus. The 600W power supply seemed adequate for the system’s components, with no noticeable thermal throttling during extended gaming sessions.

I tested several popular games including Cyberpunk 2077, Red Dead Redemption 2, and Fortnite. Cyberpunk 2077 ran smoothly at 1080p with medium settings, while Red Dead Redemption 2 required some graphical compromises to maintain a steady frame rate. Fortnite, being less demanding, ran flawlessly at high settings. Overall, the performance was adequate for its price point but upgrading the RAM would be beneficial for optimal future-proofing.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Good value for money, decent gaming performance at 1080p, fast SSD storage, stylish case.
• Cons: 8GB RAM can be limiting for modern games, potential for performance bottlenecks in more demanding titles.

Final Verdict

The Gaming PC Intel Core i5-10400F/ H510 / RX580S/ 8GB RAM / 256GB SSD +1TB HDD/ TrueNort TN-19 270° Glass RGB Black Case/ Windows 11 Pro offers a solid gaming experience at 1080p for its price range. While the 8GB of RAM may prove limiting in the future, it performs adequately for many titles. For budget-conscious gamers seeking a competent pre-built machine, this PC is a viable option. I would recommend upgrading the RAM to 16GB for a more future-proof and smoother gaming experience.
