The CPU is pretty basic, but it's good enough to get you going in PC gaming.

Powered by a last-gen, six-core Intel chip, this little gaming PC isn't going to set any records for multicore processing performance. But you're not going to get an RTX 5060 rig with this much memory and storage for less than $900. Use promo code ABS5APRIL to get the full discount.

The global memory crisis has been trying its hardest to completely ruin the budget gaming PC market, with prices for DRAM kits and SSDs now absurdly high. But savvy system vendors are finding ways around the problem, mostly by using older processors and DDR memory.

Let's break down what you're getting for your cash. On the CPU side of things, it's a little bit underwhelming but also understandable, all things given. ABS has chosen to use Intel's Core 5 120 processor, which is basically a Core i5 14600K but no E-cores, 15% lower clock speeds, and 25% less L3 cache.

Since games will just generally use P-cores anyway, in Intel's hybrid architecture CPUs, the loss of the E-cores only really matters for content creation workloads, and for keeping the power consumption down for lightweight, everyday tasks, such as browsing. For PC gaming, the Core 5 120 will be a little bit better than AMD's Ryzen 5 5500.

At this price, you can't expect to see anything better than a GeForce RTX 5060, so that's all good, but what is a surprise is the amount of system memory you're getting: 32 GB of DDR4-3200. Sure, it's not super-fast DDR5, but most games don't really tax memory bandwidth.

With a 1 TB Gen 4 SSD thrown in for good measure, and an additional M.2 slot on the motherboard for more storage, you've got a solid setup for a spot of PC gaming that raises a digit or two at the RAMpocalypse.

Nick, gaming, and computers all first met in the early 1980s. After leaving university, he became a physics and IT teacher and started writing about tech in the late 1990s. That resulted in him working with MadOnion to write the help files for 3DMark and PCMark. After a short stint working at Beyond3D.com, Nick joined Futuremark (MadOnion rebranded) full-time, as editor-in-chief for its PC gaming section, YouGamers. After the site shutdown, he became an engineering and computing lecturer for many years, but missed the writing bug. Cue four years at TechSpot.com covering everything and anything to do with tech and PCs. He freely admits to being far too obsessed with GPUs and open-world grindy RPGs, but who isn't these days?
