16GB of GDDR7 and the full Blackwell feature set — DLSS 4, PCIe 5.0 — in a card the A3 swallows without blocking airflow. High-refresh 1440p with headroom, and real 4K at Ultra.
3D V-Cache makes this the fastest gaming CPU you can buy at any price. Eight Zen 5 cores boost to 5.2 GHz and stay cool on the 360mm loop.
The A3's panels are painted aluminum, not white-plastic-over-steel. The AIO, fans, and cables are matched white so the build looks intentional from every angle.
mATX means a footprint that fits on a desk, while keeping a full-size GPU, a 360mm radiator, and room for a second NVMe later.
The Edge Gold 1000W runs at a whisper under this load and leaves headroom for any single-GPU upgrade this platform will ever see.

* Estimates based on RTX 5080 + Ryzen 7 9800X3D benchmarks at Ultra settings. DLSS/FSR off. Actual FPS varies.
Build #047 started with a simple brief: a white build that actually looks white in person, small enough for a shallow desk, fast enough for 1440p at 165 Hz.
The A3 is one of the best-value mATX cases made — mesh on every panel, so the 360mm top radiator and the RTX 5080 both breathe without a glass box cooking them. White-sleeved AIO tubing and synced ARGB keep the look clean through the mesh. EXPO validated, one hour of combined load, no throttling.
Double-boxed with dense foam protection. Built to survive transit perfectly.
Delivery requires signature confirmation to protect your investment.
