Acer Predator Orion 3000 (PO3-665_H610)
A Predator gaming tower with a ten-core Core i5-14400F and a GeForce RTX 5060 carrying 8GB of GDDR7, backed by an 850W supply.
The Predator Orion 3000 is Acer's mainstream gaming desktop, a 28-litre tower with a full-size graphics card, an 850W power supply and enough rear connectivity to build a proper desk around. This configuration is the sensible entry into current-generation NVIDIA hardware, aimed at high frame rates at 1080p and 1440p rather than the very top of the range.
Inside sits a ten-core Intel Core i5-14400F running from 2.50GHz to 4.70GHz, paired with an NVIDIA GeForce RTX 5060 and 8GB of GDDR7 video memory. Sixteen gigabytes of DDR4 and a 512GB PCIe NVMe drive complete the specification, with Windows 11 Home installed and ready on first power-up.
Ideal For
An RTX 5060 with 8GB of GDDR7 and a ten-core Core i5 keep a high refresh rate monitor supplied, which is what competitive shooters and racing games ask for.
Current-generation graphics, an 850W supply and a full-size case mean the machine has somewhere to go later, rather than being finished on the day it arrives on your desk.
Three DisplayPort outputs and an HDMI let you spread across several screens, keeping chat, a browser or a second game window off the main display.
Key Features
A current-generation NVIDIA card with eight gigabytes of GDDR7, the newest class of graphics memory, dedicated entirely to the card rather than shared with the system.
Ten cores running from 2.50GHz to 4.70GHz, enough to keep a game fed while Windows, a browser and a voice call carry on in the background.
An 850W unit is well above what this card draws, which is exactly the headroom you want if a larger graphics card is fitted later on.
An M.2 solid state drive on the PCIe bus, so Windows 11 Home starts quickly and installs load without the wait a mechanical disk would add.
Four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, one USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and four USB 2.0 Type-A, so controllers, a headset and external storage can stay plugged in.
Wi-Fi 6E with Bluetooth 5.3 covers wireless peripherals, and an RJ-45 socket takes a cable from the router when a steady connection matters more.
What GDDR7 memory brings
The eight gigabytes on this card are GDDR7, the current generation of graphics memory, and they belong to the graphics card alone. Integrated graphics have to borrow from the same pool the operating system uses, which puts a ceiling on what they can do. Here the RTX 5060 has its own memory for textures and frame buffers, while the 16GB of DDR4 stays free for Windows, the browser and whatever else you have open.
Sized for the upgrade to come
An 850W power supply in a machine with a ten-core processor and an RTX 5060 is deliberately generous, and that is the point. Power supplies are the least enjoyable component to change, so buying one with headroom means a bigger graphics card in two years is a straightforward swap rather than a rebuild. The 28-litre case follows the same logic: 190mm wide, 438mm deep and 378mm tall, with space for a full-size card.
Building a desk around the tower
Four display outputs come off the graphics card, three DisplayPort and one HDMI, so a two or three monitor setup needs nothing extra. The chassis contributes nine USB ports in total, split across four USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-A, a USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C and four USB 2.0 Type-A, along with Gigabit Ethernet and a combination audio jack. Wi-Fi 6E and Bluetooth 5.3 handle a wireless keyboard, mouse, controller or headset without a receiver taking up a port.
How It Compares
| What You Need | Technology | Practical Benefit |
|---|---|---|
| High frame rate esports | RTX 5060 with 8GB GDDR7 | Current-generation graphics with dedicated memory, aimed squarely at keeping a fast monitor supplied with frames. |
| Everyday multitasking | 10-core Core i5-14400F | Ten cores from 2.50GHz to 4.70GHz, so a game and a browser full of tabs do not compete. |
| Streaming a session | Nine USB ports, Wi-Fi 6E | Space for a capture device and headset, with Wi-Fi 6E or a Gigabit cable carrying the upload. |
| Three-monitor desk | Three DisplayPort plus HDMI | Four outputs on the card itself, so extra screens need no adapters or docking hardware. |
| Fast game loading | 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD | An M.2 drive on the PCIe bus keeps Windows, saves and installs off any mechanical disk. |
| Upgrading later | 850W power supply | Considerable headroom above what this card draws, so a larger card later is a simple swap. |

The Verdict
Strengths
- GeForce RTX 5060 with 8GB of GDDR7 memory
- Ten-core Intel Core i5-14400F up to 4.70GHz
- 850W power supply with clear upgrade headroom
- 512GB PCIe NVMe solid state drive
- Nine USB ports including USB 3.2 Gen 1 Type-C
- Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.3 and Gigabit Ethernet
- Four display outputs across DisplayPort and HDMI
Considerations
- Memory is 16GB of DDR4 and Acer lists 32GB as the maximum, so the ceiling arrives sooner than on a DDR5 platform.
- The 512GB drive sits alone, and a modern game library will fill it quickly unless a second drive is added.
- A gaming tower runs on mains power only, and its cooling becomes audible once a demanding title has been running for a while.
