This gaming PC might not have a graphics card, but with that 5600GT's integrated graphics you should be able to do some lite 720p gaming just fine, and even perhaps some 1080p. Then, when you're ready to upgrade, all you'll have to do is slap a discrete GPU in somewhere down the line (maybe an RTX 5060 or RX 9060 XT) and you'll have a PC capable of some full-fat 1080p and 1440p gaming.

The cheapest RTX 50-series graphics card is now with us, and it's giving gamers a genuine option around $800. To be clear, this is a GPU with fewer cores than the RTX 4060, but the benefit is you get to use Multi Frame Gen. Latency will be poor if you start at a low frame rate—so don't get trying to max out your settings in most modern titles—but if you start off with your frame rate above, say, 60, you should be on solid ground. For a cheap cost, this is a decent entry into PC gaming, just don't expect the world. It also has a lovely fish tank chassis, which is nice to see in this price bracket.

This build is for those who don't mind throwing at least a little caution to the wind by opting for the GPU underdog, Intel. Why would you do that? Well, apart from doing us all a service in helping bolster competition, you're also getting some raw raster horsepower for a very good price. It's not quite as powerful as the RTX 5060 overall, but it has more VRAM, and with this build you're getting a very reasonable CPU and 32 GB of RAM. Just beware that Intel GPUs aren't quite as well-supported by as many games as Nvidia and AMD ones.

This is most certainly an entry-level gaming PC, but it's cheap enough and small enough to be worth a look. The RX 9060 XT is very capable for a budget card, even this version with 8 GB of VRAM. But we're dealing with an older platform with the DDR4 RAM and 5000-series Ryzen CPU. It'll get you by doing some lite to moderate gaming at 1080p and 1440p, and that Cooler Master chassis is a big selling point as you're getting a dinky little build, which usually means slapping a SFF tax on top.

Key specs: Ryzen 7 5700X | RX 9060 XT 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD

Who said you can't get decent gaming performance for cheap in 2025? This RX 9060 XT gaming PC is here to put an end to such thoughts, because for just $850 you're getting a build with a current-gen GPU that trades blows with the RTX 5060 Ti. Sure, you're getting an older CPU and 1 TB SSD, but this is a seriously great entry into PC gaming. You can upgrade everything else and keep that 9060 XT in there down the line if you need to start using this rig for productivity tasks.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 5600X | RX 9060 XT 8 GB | 32 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD

This gaming PC lets you enter the current GPU generation for well under $1,000, and you're getting a pretty nice all-round package for this budget price. Sure, you're only getting DDR4 RAM and 1 TB of storage, but these things are common at the sub-$1,000 price point. DDR4 should serve you fine with this budget build, and storage can be upgraded easily. It's a great way to get started PC gaming with a friendly price tag.

Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD

This is a great entry into current-gen PC gaming for a reasonable price. It cuts few corners, too, with a pretty recent CPU and some fast DDR5 RAM. 32 GB would be better, but 16 GB is a good start, and you have a platform that you can upgrade from, here, too. The RTX 5060 in this machine should be capable of churning out frames at 1080p and even 1440p in many cases, especially with that fancy new Multi Frame Gen enabled.

Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 | 16 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD

This is about as cheap as we've seen a decent RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC since the graphics card's launch. And not only that, but this build has fast DDR5 RAM, too. That's only 16 GB, but if you're careful with your background apps you should be fine, and can always switch to a 32 GB kit down the line.

Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD

You're not getting the most well-rounded build here because it only has 16 GB of RAM and 1 TB of storage, but this is very cheap for a 16 GB version of the RTX 5060 Ti. And that's what matters more for gaming. 16 GB of RAM is doable if you keep your background processes light, and with this GPU you're getting something that should be able to deal with any modern title at 1080p or 1440p, provided you don't mind lowering some settings in the most demanding games.

This Cobratype RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC is not only rocking a current-gen GPU capable of the latest Multi Frame Gen tech, but also comes with a decent six-core AMD CPU and 32 GB of RAM. You'll probably want to add another terabyte of storage before too long, though.

Not only is this about as cheap as you'll grab a decent RTX 5070 gaming PC, but it has 32 GB of fast RAM and a nice current-gen CPU in the form of the Ryzen 5 9600X. The RTX 5070 at the heart of this PC might not offer quite the same raw performance as its AMD-flavored competitors, but it does get Multi Frame Gen and is a great overclocker. If you want an entry into high-end gaming, this is about as cheap as you can do it.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 9600X | RTX 5070 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD

Combined with 32 GB of RAM and a mid-range 9000-series CPU, it makes for a great choice for modern high-end gaming for well under $2,000. It's also cheaper than we've found any RX 9070 (non-XT) build at right now.

Under $1,800 for a gaming PC with not only AMD's best GPU offering but also one of its X3D chips is not half a bad deal. Throw in the fast DDR5 RAM and 2 TB of storage and you're on to a winner. Let's just hope that discount code stays up for a while.

Key specs: Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RX 9070 XT | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD

The RTX 5070 Ti at the heart of this build is one of the best of this generation, primarily because it offers genuine high-end gaming performance with the benefits of DLSS. 1440p and Ultra settings is a breeze with frame gen, and you can even do some 4K at max, too. Combine that with the X3D chip you're getting—our favorite of the previous generation—and you have a truly great high-end build.

Possibly the most surprising thing about this gaming PC is that for one of the cheapest prices you'll see a decent RTX 5080 rig going for, you're also getting a top-end CPU. That AMD Ryzen 9 9900X is a powerhouse of a 12-core processor. Plus you're getting it all housed in a lovely fish tank chassis.

Yes, it's an expensive gaming PC, but you'll struggle to find an RTX 5090 gaming rig for less than this, with the same CPU, RAM, and SSD configuration. Big on price, massive on gaming performance.

ABS Eurus Ruby price check: Best Buy $4,299.99

Yes, this is still a ridiculously expensive gaming PC, but as they say: Go big or go home, right? From what I've seen, most decent RTX 5090 gaming PCs are going for $4,000+ right now, and those that are cheaper than this one seem to cheap out on one component or another. But then you get this absolute beast, with a 12-core X3D CPU, 64 GB of fast DDR5 RAM, and 4 TB of storage. If I'm spending the big bucks on an RTX 5090 build, I am indeed going big on something like this.

This is a great price for all you SFF (small form factor) lovers. You're getting an older and not very powerful CPU, and only 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but for a cheap, portable gaming system these should serve just fine alongside the RTX 5060. Usually you have to pay the SFF tax for a mini PC, so it's great to see such a low price on this one. Don't expect miracles with this hardware, but for some light gaming and a small physical footprint, look no further.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 5060 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD

We now have some entry-level RTX 50-series graphics cards on the market, and with it we're seeing builds like this pop up which should offer decent current-gen gaming performance without breaking the bank. The RTX 5060 Ti in this is paired with a previous-gen Intel CPU that has 6 P-Cores, which should be more than enough for mainstream gaming. Just bear in mind you're only getting 16 GB of DDR4 RAM here. It'll almost certainly be worth upgrading to 32 GB of fast DDR4 RAM when you can.

Key specs: Core i5 14400F | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR4 | 1 TB SSD

We're now in the new generation of GPUs, and at this price point it makes sense to opt for an RTX 5070 or RX 9070 gaming PC. This build in particular is pretty well-rounded for a circa £1,600-£,1700 rig. The Ryzen 5 7600 is more than adequate for gaming today (though don't expect miracles) and 32 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB of storage is the sweet spot for midrange and even high-end gaming PCs.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 5600 | RTX 5070 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD

This Horizon build is like the one above, except it packs in a current-gen Ryzen 5 CPU and an RTX 5070 Ti, which is not insubstantially better than the RTX 5070. This is definitively high-end territory, and you're getting it for just over £2,000, which isn't bad in the current (admittedly pretty poor) market.
