Among GamerTech's current lineup, the Ryzen 5 5500 / RTX 5060 Ti build with 32GB of RAM is the strongest value under $2,000 CAD — it's best for 1080p Ultra gaming with capable 1440p headroom, and for buyers who also stream or multitask. Its biggest advantage is 32GB of RAM at this price point, rare in this budget tier. It's priced at $1,999.99 CAD.

The Ryzen 5 5500 is an older (Zen 3) AMD CPU, but at 1080p and 1440p it's rarely the bottleneck — the RTX 5060 Ti is doing the heavy lifting, and it's a current-generation Blackwell GPU with GDDR7 memory and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation, the real reason this build punches above its price. 32GB of DDR4 is genuinely unusual at this price tier — most competitors ship 16GB at this budget — meaning the system won't need a RAM upgrade for years of gaming, streaming, and multitasking. The 1TB NVMe drive is a sensible default capacity, and the MSI B550 motherboard's built-in WiFi and Bluetooth is a real convenience most budget prebuilts skip. The 650W 80+ Gold PSU has comfortable headroom for the RTX 5060 Ti and room for a future GPU upgrade.
Real-World Use Cases
- 1080p Ultra gaming in essentially every current title, including demanding AAA releases
- 1440p gaming at high-to-ultra settings, with DLSS 4 available in supported titles
- Light streaming and multitasking — 32GB of RAM handles a game, Discord, OBS, and a browser at once
- Not recommended for native 4K gaming or heavy video-editing/3D-rendering, where six cores becomes the limiting factor
Performance Expectations
The RTX 5060 Ti's GDDR7 memory and DLSS 4 Multi Frame Generation support are confirmed by NVIDIA's own product specifications (manufacturer spec). GamerTech has not yet published internal frame-rate testing for this exact configuration. As a general expectation for this GPU class, 1080p Ultra settings should run smoothly in current AAA titles, and 1440p should be comfortable at high settings with DLSS enabled where supported — a general expectation, not a measured result.
Why This PC Offers Good Value
At $1,999.99 CAD, this build pairs a current-generation GPU (RTX 5060 Ti, DLSS 4) with double the RAM most competitors offer at this price. The component cost of a current-gen GDDR7 GPU plus 32GB of RAM, a 1TB NVMe drive, and a Gold-rated PSU, bought separately, plus a Windows 11 Pro license, assembly labour, bench-testing, and a full parts-and-labour warranty, is a meaningful part of what's being paid for beyond the parts themselves — GamerTech has not run a fully sourced, dated "cost to build this yourself" comparison, so no specific savings figure is claimed here.
How It Compares
| This PC (32GB) | RGB 16GB variant | i5-10600K/RTX 3070 refurb | Ryzen 5 9600X/RTX 5070 (more) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $1,999.99 | $1,899.99 | $1,499.99 | $2,999.99 |
| CPU | Ryzen 5 5500 | Ryzen 5 5500 | i5-10600K (refurb) | Ryzen 5 9600X (Zen 5) |
| RAM | 32GB DDR4 | 16GB DDR4 RGB | 32GB DDR4 | 32GB DDR5 RGB |
| Best for | Max RAM headroom | Same perf, RGB look | Tightest budget, refurbished | 1440p high-refresh, newest platform |
Buyers wanting identical performance with RGB memory instead of extra RAM should choose the 16GB RGB variant — $100 cheaper. Buyers on a tighter budget comfortable with refurbished hardware should consider the i5-10600K / RTX 3070 build. Buyers wanting the newest AMD platform and stronger 1440p performance should step up to the Ryzen 5 9600X / RTX 5070 build.
Advantages & Disadvantages
- 32GB RAM — double what most competitors offer under $2,000
- Current-generation GPU with DLSS 4
- Built-in WiFi + Bluetooth
- Full 1-year parts + labour warranty on a new build
- Ryzen 5 5500 is a previous-generation (Zen 3) CPU
- Not intended for native 4K gaming
- Six CPU cores limit heavy multitasking/content-creation
- Non-RGB RAM — buyers wanting matching lighting should pick the RGB variant instead
Who Should Buy It?
Buyers with a firm ~$2,000 CAD budget who game primarily at 1080p or 1440p, want headroom for streaming or multitasking, and would rather have more RAM than RGB lighting.
Who Should Not Buy It?
Buyers wanting 4K gaming or serious content-creation performance should look at the RTX 5080 or RTX 5090 tier builds instead. Buyers who specifically want matching RGB memory should choose the 16GB RGB variant of this same build.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is this PC good for 1440p gaming?
Yes — the RTX 5060 Ti handles 1440p at high settings comfortably, with DLSS 4 available to boost frame rates further in supported titles.
Can the RAM be upgraded later?
Yes — the MSI B550 motherboard has open DIMM slots beyond the installed 32GB, though its maximum supported capacity should be confirmed before buying additional memory.
Does this PC include WiFi?
Yes — the MSI B550 motherboard has built-in WiFi and Bluetooth.
Is 32GB of RAM overkill for gaming?
For gaming alone, 16GB is usually enough — the extra 16GB here is aimed at buyers who also stream, record, or multitask heavily alongside gaming.
Does Windows come installed?
Yes, Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed and activated.
Is this better than building the PC myself?
It can be, once you value assembly, bench-testing, and a full parts-and-labour warranty — a self-build could be cheaper if you already own some parts or are comfortable troubleshooting hardware yourself.
Is it shipped across Canada?
Yes, shipping is free Canada-wide, with same-day pickup or shipping from Vaughan, ON for orders placed before 4 PM.

View & Buy This Build Ask a TechnicianConclusion
For a firm budget around $2,000 CAD, the 32GB Ryzen 5 5500 / RTX 5060 Ti build is GamerTech's clearest value pick — strong 1080p Ultra and capable 1440p performance, backed by unusually generous RAM for the price. Its main limitation is that it's not built for 4K or heavy content-creation work, where a higher tier makes more sense.
