Stoneforged Artemis Gaming, Ryzen 5 7600, 16GB, 1TB SSD, Radeon RX 9060 XT
The AMD Ryzen 5 7600 and Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB GDDR6 deliver solid 1080p gaming performance, backed by 16GB DDR5 RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD for fast load times. Its 8.16kg desktop chassis is compact for a gaming tower, though the 24.8/100 compact score suggests limited space-saving appeal. Best for budget-conscious gamers prioritizing raw frame rates over small form factor builds.

The proof
Performance
The RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM is the star here. That's a lot of video memory for a budget card, and it means you won't be texture-starved in modern titles. The Ryzen 5 7600 is a solid mid-range CPU, though 16GB of DDR5 is just about average these days. What surprised us is how well this config holds up for gaming, scoring 59.8 out of 100 in our gaming tests. That's not top-tier, but it's respectable for the money. The 1TB NVMe SSD is fine, nothing flashy.

vs Competition
Against the HP OMEN GT22-3080 and Lenovo Legion Tower 7i Gen 10, the Artemis trades blows on gaming performance but falls behind on reliability and connectivity. The OMEN and Legion are more polished, with better port selection and stronger brand track records. The Apple Mac Studio M5 Max is a different beast entirely, aimed at creators, not gamers. If you want a gaming PC that just works and don't care about extra USB ports, the Artemis is a contender. But if you plan to plug in a lot of peripherals or want peace of mind, the Legion is the safer bet.

Price
Value & Pricing
At CAD 1,700, this is a fair deal for a gaming PC with a 16GB VRAM GPU. You're not getting premium build quality or a ton of ports, but the core gaming hardware is right. If you just want to plug in a monitor, keyboard, and mouse and start gaming, this is worth it.

Overview
The Stoneforged Artemis is a budget-friendly gaming rig that punches above its weight where it counts. You get a Ryzen 5 7600 and a Radeon RX 9060 XT with 16GB of VRAM, which is a surprisingly sensible pairing for 1080p and even 1440p gaming. The one thing to know? This is a performance-first build that skimps on ports and long-term reliability to hit its price point.
Common Questions
Q: Can this run modern games at 1440p?
Yes, the RX 9060 XT with 16GB VRAM can handle 1440p gaming at medium to high settings in most titles. Don't expect maxed-out ray tracing, but it'll get the job done.
Q: Is 16GB of RAM enough?
For gaming, yes. For heavy multitasking or content creation, you'll want to upgrade to 32GB eventually. It's an easy upgrade, but it's an extra cost.
Q: How many USB ports does it have?
Not many. Port selection is one of the weakest points of this build. If you need to plug in a lot of devices, you'll probably want a USB hub.
Who Should Skip This
If you're looking for a compact, quiet, or port-rich PC, this isn't it. Go get a Lenovo Legion Tower or an HP OMEN instead. And if reliability is your top concern, the Artemis's 11th percentile reliability score should make you think twice.
Verdict
The Stoneforged Artemis is a solid budget gaming PC that gets the important stuff right: a capable CPU, a GPU with plenty of VRAM, and fast storage. It's not a looker, and the port situation is genuinely bad, but for pure gaming performance per dollar, it's hard to argue with. If you can live with the limited connectivity and don't mind a bit of risk on reliability, this is a good buy.
