Custom PC - Intel i5-12400, Intel UHD 730, 16GB DDR5, 1TB NVMe

This custom Micro-ATX system centers on the Intel Core i5-12400 paired with integrated Intel UHD 730 graphics, fast DDR5 memory and a 1TB NVMe drive for snappy everyday performance. It is built on an ASUS PRIME B760M-A-CSM board with room for upgrades and dual M.2 slots.

• Processor: Intel Core i5-12400 (6C/12T, up to 4.4GHz)
• Graphics: Intel UHD 730 integrated graphics (no discrete GPU included)
• Memory: Kingston FURY 16GB DDR5-5200 (1x16GB)
• Storage: Kingston NV3 M.2 2280 NVMe PCIe 4.0 x4 - 1TB
• Motherboard: ASUS PRIME B760M-A-CSM (LGA1700, DDR5, 2x M.2, PCIe 4.0)
• Power: Fortron FSP VITA 750W 80 PLUS Gold (ATX 3.1 ready)
• Case: Alcatroz M-ATX FUTURA MILLENIA — Micro-ATX with 2 fans (note: case shipped with a 235W PSU; recommended to use the included Fortron 750W PSU)
• Cooling: Snowman MT6-V4D-ARGB CPU air cooler
• Service: Full PC assembly plus OS and drivers installation included

Why this build: the i5-12400 delivers strong CPU single-thread and respectable multi-thread performance for office work, content light editing, and esports or lighter gaming titles when paired with decent system memory and fast NVMe storage. The micro-ATX platform keeps the footprint small while leaving space for future upgrades like a discrete GPU, extra RAM sticks, or additional storage.

Upgradability and notes:

• Motherboard supports up to 128GB DDR5 across 4 slots; adding a second matched DIMM will enable dual-channel memory and improve integrated graphics performance.
• Two M.2 slots allow adding more NVMe storage; PCIe 4.0 lanes available for fast drives or future GPUs.
• Ensure the case's bundled low-power PSU is removed or disabled when installing the included 750W Fortron PSU to avoid dual-PSU conflicts.
• Check CPU cooler clearance in the case if you plan to add tall RAM modules or additional top-mounted fans.

Performance Projections:

• Popular AAA Games (approximate, integrated UHD 730): Cyberpunk 2077 / Starfield — 1080p (Low): ~20-35 FPS; 1440p (Low): ~12-20 FPS; 4K: ~5-12 FPS (generally not playable at acceptable frame rates).
• High Player Count / Competitive Games (approximate): Valorant / CS:GO — 1080p (Low/Medium): ~80-140 FPS; 1440p: ~50-100 FPS. Apex Legends / Warzone — 1080p (Low): ~35-70 FPS; 1440p: ~25-45 FPS.
