RTX 50 Series gaming, ready to play out of the box

GeForce RTX 5050 8GB with DLSS 4
The NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5050 has 8GB of GDDR6 memory and supports ray tracing and DLSS 4 with Multi Frame Generation, which lifts frame rates in supported games. It is built for Full HD (1080p) gaming, running modern titles at high settings and esports games at high refresh rates.
6 cores and 12 threads for play and work
The AMD Ryzen 5 5500 runs at 3.6GHz and boosts up to 4.2GHz. Six cores and twelve threads leave room to game with chat, a browser and music open at the same time, and handle schoolwork, office work and light content creation without fuss.
What you need to get started
Add your own screen and gear
The Ranger is the tower only. You will need a monitor, keyboard, mouse and a headset or speakers. A Full HD (1920 x 1080) high refresh rate monitor suits this graphics card best.
Connecting your monitor
Use the HDMI 2.1b port or one of the three DisplayPort 2.1b ports on the graphics card. Older VGA or DVI monitors need an active adapter.
Getting online
Connect with a network cable to the Gigabit LAN port or use the dual-band Wi-Fi. Bluetooth is not included, so wireless controllers and headsets need a USB Bluetooth adapter.
16GB dual-channel RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD
Two 8GB DDR4 3600MHz modules run in dual-channel mode, the 16GB sweet spot for current games. Windows and your games load from a 1TB NVMe solid state drive, with room for a sizeable game library and start-up in seconds rather than minutes.
Cased, loaded and assembled for you
PROTECTOR chassis
A micro-ATX mid tower with a mesh front for airflow and a tempered glass side panel. The front panel has one USB 3.0 port, two USB 2.0 ports and an audio jack.
Ready to play
Windows 11 Home is pre-installed, so there is no licence to buy. One month of PC Game Pass is included, with a library of more than 100 PC games.
Built in-house
Each Ranger is assembled by PCBuilder technicians and packed with protective foam inside the case. Remove the foam pack before you switch the PC on for the first time.
Frequently asked questions
Is the PCBuilder Ranger good for 1080p gaming?
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5050 8GB graphics card and 6-core AMD Ryzen 5 5500 are built for Full HD (1080p) gaming. Modern games run at high settings, and DLSS 4 lifts frame rates further in supported titles.
Does the Ranger come with a monitor, keyboard and mouse?
No. The box contains the PC, a 1.8 m power cable and a welcome guide. You need to add your own monitor, keyboard, mouse and headset or speakers.
Does the Ranger have Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
It has Wi-Fi but not Bluetooth. Dual-band Wi-Fi (2.4GHz and 5GHz) and a Gigabit LAN port are included. Bluetooth is not part of the specification, so add a USB Bluetooth adapter if you use a wireless controller or headset.
Which monitor ports does the Ranger have?
The graphics card has one HDMI 2.1b and three DisplayPort 2.1b outputs. Always plug your monitor into the graphics card, not the motherboard, because the Ryzen 5 5500 has no built-in graphics.
Can I upgrade the RAM or storage later?
Yes. The motherboard has two DDR4 memory slots, both filled by the 2 x 8GB kit, so moving to 32GB means replacing it with a 2 x 16GB kit. Computer Mania offers free labour on your first upgrade.
Is Windows already installed on the Ranger?
Yes. Windows 11 Home comes pre-installed, together with one month of PC Game Pass.
Does the Ranger support ray tracing and DLSS 4?
Yes. The GeForce RTX 5050 supports ray tracing and NVIDIA DLSS 4, including Multi Frame Generation, in games that offer them.
What warranty does the PCBuilder Ranger come with?
A 3-year warranty from Computer Mania. The warranty must be registered within 30 days of purchase on the Warranty Registration page.
