Good price for an entry-level gaming PC amidst the RAM crisis

FULL STORY ======================================================================

Want to get into PC gaming without building one? That might be the best move right now, with the prices of certain components such as RAM and storage skyrocketing. Well, I've spotted this pre-built Lenovo Legion Tower 5i Gaming Desktop at Best Buy for $1,219.99 (was $1,599.99) .

The big draw here is the 32GB of RAM, which is double the processing power of the standard 16GB you'd normally see for PC towers at this price. This Legion Tower 5i is one of the newer configurations with an RTX 5060 Ti and Intel
Core Ultra 7 processor, too.

Overall, these specs help future-proof this PC for a good few years for
stable 1080p gaming at high settings. These components are also much more advanced than gaming laptops you could get for around the same sale price. Today's best gaming desktop deal

The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i was already budget-friendly to begin with, but
this configuration at this price especially stands out. Its 32GB RAM is
double what you would usually find at this price, and the RTX 5060 Ti GPU and Intel Core Ultra 7 Processor 265F sweeten the deal to ensure you get stable 1080p gaming. It comes with 1TB SSD for storing a large library of games,
too. This PC works well for both first-time PC gamers or those who have a gaming laptop that want to upgrade. Even better, you won't need to buy a separate keyboard and mouse because it comes with those as part of the package. View Deal

We haven't reviewed this Legion Tower 5i, but we reviewed a similar model at the tail end of 2024. In our Legion Tower 5i review , we praised the 1080p performance and ability to stay "quiet when pushed to the max" at a budget price point. Even this Legion Tower 5i boasts a 180W cooling system, which leans into its reputation of staying cool under pressure. It also offers 1TB SSD for quickly loading games and saving them without the need to "play Tetris" with storage.

Like many of its PCs, Lenovo includes an entry-level keyboard and mouse with the Legion Tower 5i, so you don't need to invest in those additional accessories upfront. That said, you may want to upgrade in the future because the included Calliope wired mouse and keyboard aren't specifically designed for gaming.
