BattleBox Pro A2Gaming PC
A UK-built gaming rig pairing the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D, the fastest gaming processor AMD makes, with the ASUS TUF Gaming GeForce RTX 5070 Ti 16GB. Heat is handled by a 360mm Corsair Nautilus RS ARGB liquid loop inside the high-airflow NZXT H7 Flow.
This one is aimed at 1440p at very high refresh rates, with genuine 4K capability in almost everything once DLSS 4 is switched on. Assembled, stress tested and backed by our own technicians here in the UK.
Inside the Build
No filler parts and no surprises. Here is what each piece does and why it is in here.
AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D
Eight cores, sixteen threads, boost speeds to 5.2GHz and 104MB of total cache thanks to AMD's second generation 3D V-Cache.
That cache is the whole point. Games constantly ask the processor for the same small pieces of data, and a bigger cache means the answer is already sitting there instead of being fetched from memory. The effect shows up most in your 1% lows, the brief dips that make a game feel rough even when the average frame rate looks fine. This is the chip that consistently tops gaming charts, and on this build it means the graphics card is never the one waiting.
ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti 16GB
This is the part that draws the picture. Blackwell architecture, 16GB of GDDR7 memory, and ASUS's TUF cooler, which is a thick triple-fan design built to stay quiet rather than to hit a headline temperature.
The 16GB matters more than it used to. Modern textures at 1440p and 4K fill memory quickly, and a card that runs out has to swap data in and out mid-scene, which you feel as stutter. Ray tracing lights a scene the way light actually behaves, and DLSS 4 renders at a lower resolution, rebuilds the frame sharp with AI, then generates additional frames in between. High settings, high frame rate, no trade.
Corsair Nautilus 360 RS ARGB
A closed liquid loop with a 360mm radiator and three fans. Coolant lifts heat off the processor, carries it to the radiator, and the fans push it out of the case.
Three fans across a longer radiator means each one turns more slowly to shift the same amount of heat, so the system is quieter under a sustained load than a smaller cooler would be. The 9800X3D responds well to being kept cool: it holds its boost clocks for longer instead of easing back when a long session heats things up.
ASUS TUF Gaming B850-E WiFi
The board everything plugs into. TUF is ASUS's durability line, with a heavier power delivery stage and thicker heatsinks than a standard board, which is what a chip like the 9800X3D wants underneath it.
It is PCIe 5.0 ready for future graphics cards and drives. WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 are built in, and there is 2.5GbE wired networking for the lowest possible ping. Being AM5, it will take a future AMD processor without replacing the board.
32GB DDR5 at 6000MHz
Memory is where the machine keeps everything it might need in the next few seconds. 32GB is well beyond what any game asks for on its own, which is exactly the point: you can play, stream, record, run Discord and leave a browser full of tabs open without anything competing for room.
Running at 6000MHz in dual channel, it is the speed the Ryzen platform is happiest with. It also opens the door to the heavier work outside games, such as large Blender scenes, multi-track 4K timelines or running a local AI model, where memory capacity is usually the first wall you hit.
2TB NVMe M.2 SSD
Windows boots in seconds and games load in a fraction of the time an older drive would take. Open world titles stream scenery in as you move, so you do not get textures filling in when you turn a corner quickly.
2TB is roughly a dozen to fifteen large modern games plus Windows, which means you can stop uninstalling things to make room. If you do fill it, there is a spare M.2 slot on the board ready for a second drive.
NZXT H7 Flow Black
A full ATX mid-tower with perforated front and side panels, so cool air reaches the components by the shortest route instead of being dragged in around the edges of a solid door.
The extra size over a compact case is doing real work here. It gives the 360mm radiator a clean mounting position, leaves room around a long triple-fan graphics card, and keeps the two apart so neither is breathing the other's warm air. Front I/O includes two USB 3.0 ports and a USB-C. Airflow was the deciding factor: a cooler case is a quieter case, because nothing has to spin up to compensate.
Corsair RM850e 850W
Clean, steady power for everything above, with an 80 PLUS Gold rating. It wastes less energy as heat, so it runs cooler and costs less to leave on.
850W is deliberate headroom rather than a number for the sake of it. The RTX 5070 Ti and 9800X3D together do not come close to it in normal use, which means the unit spends its life in its most efficient band, the 120mm fan stays slow, and there is capacity spare if you fit a bigger graphics card down the line. Fully modular, so only the cables this build uses are fitted.

What Can It Run?
The BattleBox Pro A2 puts the fastest gaming processor AMD currently makes behind a 16GB Blackwell graphics card. That is a deliberately lopsided pairing in the player's favour: the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is quick enough that it will not hold this graphics card back in any game, at any resolution, which means every frame the RTX 5070 Ti is capable of producing actually reaches your monitor.
In competitive titles the ceiling is high enough that your monitor becomes the limit rather than the PC. Counter-Strike 2, Valorant, Apex Legends and Fortnite all run well past what a 240Hz panel can display, and on a 360Hz or 480Hz screen this is one of the few builds that can actually keep the panel fed. The 3D V-Cache does its best work here, holding the 1% lows close to the average so your aim stays predictable through a smoke or a busy site take.
Step up to the heavier releases and the RTX 5070 Ti takes over. Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2 and Starfield all play at high or ultra with ray traced lighting switched on, using DLSS 4 to hold the frame rate up rather than turning detail down. 4K is a realistic option here rather than a stretch, particularly in titles with DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation.
With 64GB of DDR5 6000MHz memory, nothing has to be closed to make room. Game, stream, capture, Discord and a browser full of tabs coexist without the system starting to stutter. The 2TB NVMe drive keeps a dozen or more large titles installed at once and streams open world scenery in fast enough that you never see it happening.
Outside of games it is a genuine workstation. Blender renders, Unreal Engine 5 compiles, multi-track 4K timelines in DaVinci Resolve or Premiere, and local AI models all sit comfortably within what this configuration handles day to day, largely thanks to the combination of 16GB of GDDR7 and 64GB of system memory.
Expected FPS
Typical average frame rates for this configuration. Ranges rather than single numbers, because a busy scene and a quiet one are not the same test. Esports titles are largely limited by the processor, which is where the 9800X3D pulls ahead of everything else on the market.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the BattleBox Pro A2 ready to use out of the box?
Yes. Every BattleBox Pro A2 comes with Windows 11 pre-installed, the latest drivers configured, and all updates completed where possible. Simply connect your monitor, keyboard and mouse, and you're ready to start gaming.
What resolution is this PC designed for?
The BattleBox Pro A2 is built for high-refresh-rate 1440p gaming at ultra settings, and it handles 4K comfortably in the large majority of titles, particularly with NVIDIA DLSS 4 and Multi Frame Generation enabled. In competitive esports titles it will comfortably saturate a 240Hz panel and keep pace with a 360Hz one.
Why is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D considered the best gaming processor?
It uses AMD's second-generation 3D V-Cache, which stacks additional cache directly onto the processor for a total of 104MB. Games repeatedly request the same data, and having it stored on the chip rather than fetched from system memory removes a lot of waiting. In practice this lifts average frame rates and, more importantly, raises the 1% lows, which is what makes gameplay feel smooth rather than merely fast.
Can this PC run the latest AAA games?
Yes, comfortably. Cyberpunk 2077, Black Myth: Wukong, Alan Wake 2, Starfield, Call of Duty, GTA V Enhanced, Forza Horizon 5, EA SPORTS FC, Fortnite, Apex Legends and Counter-Strike 2 all run at high or ultra settings with ray tracing available where the game supports it.
Does the graphics card support ray tracing and DLSS?
It does. The ASUS TUF Gaming RTX 5070 Ti has 4th generation ray tracing cores for realistic lighting, shadows and reflections, plus 5th generation tensor cores that run DLSS 4. DLSS uses AI to reconstruct and generate frames, giving a large increase in frame rate while keeping the image sharp.
Why 16GB of graphics memory rather than 12GB?
Texture quality is the setting most people want to keep at maximum, and it is the setting that consumes graphics memory. At 1440p and 4K, 12GB cards can run short in the most demanding titles, which forces data to be swapped in and out mid-scene and shows up as stutter. The 16GB of GDDR7 here gives the card room to keep textures at ultra without that happening, and leaves headroom for local AI and 3D work.
Can I upgrade the PC in the future?
Absolutely. Everything in here is a standard part. The AM5 socket takes future AMD processors, there is a free M.2 slot for more storage, the H7 Flow has room for a larger graphics card and the 850W supply leaves headroom for one.
Does this PC support Wi-Fi and Bluetooth?
Yes. The ASUS TUF GAMING B850-E WIFI motherboard includes WiFi 6E and Bluetooth 5.4 built in, with external antennas supplied. There is also a 2.5GbE Ethernet port if you would rather use a cable, which is what we recommend for competitive play.
Is 2TB of storage enough, and can I add more?
2TB fits Windows plus roughly twelve to fifteen large modern games, so most people never have to uninstall anything to make room. If you do need more later, the motherboard supports additional M.2 NVMe SSDs and SATA storage drives.
Is liquid cooling included?
Yes. The processor is cooled by the CORSAIR NAUTILUS 360 RS ARGB all-in-one liquid cooler, with a 360mm triple-fan radiator. The larger radiator lets the fans run slower for the same cooling, which keeps the system quiet under sustained load.
Does the PC include RGB lighting?
Yes. The cooling fans and pump include addressable RGB lighting, and the graphics card has its own illumination. Lighting can be adjusted, synchronised or switched off entirely using the supplied software.
How loud is it?
Quiet enough to sit on a desk. The 360mm radiator and the mesh panels of the H7 Flow mean the fans have an easy job, and the power supply runs well below its rating, so its fan stays slow. Expect it to be audible under a heavy load, not intrusive.
Is this PC suitable for streaming and content creation?
Yes, and it is one of the stronger reasons to choose this configuration. The Ryzen 7 9800X3D, 64GB of DDR5 memory and 16GB RTX 5070 Ti handle streaming, video editing, 3D rendering and local AI workloads alongside gaming without the system feeling stretched.
What ports are available?
The case front I/O provides two USB 3.0 ports and a USB Type-C. The motherboard rear panel adds further USB Type-A and Type-C ports, 2.5GbE Ethernet, WiFi antenna connections and audio outputs, and the graphics card provides DisplayPort and HDMI outputs.
Does the PC come with Windows installed?
Yes. Windows 11 is pre-installed, configured and tested before dispatch, so your system is ready to use immediately.
How is the PC tested before shipping?
Every BattleBox Pro A2 undergoes a comprehensive build and quality assurance process. This includes BIOS updates where applicable, cable management, thermal testing, hardware stress testing, driver installation and a final inspection before the system is carefully packaged for delivery.
What warranty is included?
The BattleBox Pro A2 includes a 3 Year Standard Warranty, consisting of:
- 1 Year Collect & Return
- 1 Year Parts Warranty
- 3 Years Labour Warranty
- Lifetime Technical Support
Can I customise the specification before ordering?
Yes. If you require different memory capacity, larger storage, a different graphics card or other hardware upgrades, our team can customise the BattleBox Pro A2 to suit your exact requirements before it is built.
