Our take on the CYCLONE

The META PCs CYCLONE is a pre-built gaming desktop built around the GeForce RTX 5050 and an AMD Ryzen 5 5500, aimed at 1080p play. It handles esports titles like Valorant, Fortnite, CS2 and Marvel Rivals at high refresh rates and runs most AAA games on high settings. The rest of the build is sensible for the class: 16GB DDR4, a 1TB Gen 4 NVMe drive, an ASUS TUF A520M WiFi board, a 650W 80+ Gold PSU and 120mm air cooling. Against rivals, the RTX 5050 puts it ahead of older RTX 3050 and 2060 builds, but the Ryzen 5 5500 is a budget six-core on the aging AM4 platform, so CPU-heavy games and future upgrades are where it gives ground.

Questions and answers

Is the CYCLONE good for 1080p gaming?
Yes. The RTX 5050 and Ryzen 5 5500 are a matched 1080p pair. Esports titles run at high refresh rates, and most AAA games play well on high settings.
Can I upgrade the CPU later?
Only within AM4. The A520 board supports Ryzen 5000 chips, so a Ryzen 7 5700X or 5800X is the practical ceiling. Moving to a newer platform means a new board and DDR5 memory.
Does it come with WiFi?
Yes. The ASUS TUF A520M WiFi board has built-in wireless, so you don't need an Ethernet cable.
How much storage does it have?
A 1TB Gen 4 NVMe SSD. That is enough for Windows plus a large game library, and Gen 4 speeds keep load times short.
Is the power supply enough for a GPU upgrade?
The 650W 80+ Gold unit has headroom for a modest graphics card upgrade. A high-end GPU would also need a stronger CPU to keep up.
What is in the box?
The desktop with Windows 11 Home installed. Check the listing for whether a keyboard, mouse or monitor is included, since those are not part of the system itself.
Where is the CYCLONE cheapest?
At META PCs, for $1,149.00, as of our latest check.
