Best cheap gaming PC deals

This PC is surprisingly well-rounded for such a low price. Well under $800 is usually the remit of a repurposed mobile CPU or DDR4 memory. Here, you're getting a pretty recent and decent CPU and fast DDR5 memory. Only 16 GB of said memory, to be clear, but that'll do in a pinch.

It's not too common to see an RTX 5060 Ti build on the right side of $1,000, so we can forgive the repurposed mobile CPU here. And it's not a bad CPU by any stretch, with 8 cores and up to a 5 GHz boost clock. This PC should be good for a platform upgrade, too, perhaps to an AM5 X3D chip.

If you're happy rolling team red, this all-AMD gaming PC is where it's at if you're on a budget. The CPU might be a little old now and it might be running DDR4 RAM, but that'll power the RX 9060 XT at the heart of this build just fine. Crucially, that's the version with 16 GB of VRAM, so you shouldn't have to worry about any video memory bottlenecks.

I wouldn't recommend this to anyone looking for a build with all-round longevity, but if you're looking to get into PC gaming on a budget, this build is a good shout. That's because while it might have an old—but still serviceable—CPU and memory, it has an RTX 5060 Ti. In GPU-bound games, this rig should be great for 1080p and even some 1440p gaming.

This is a decent price for a GPU with 16 GB of VRAM, which should greatly add to its longevity. The CPU might be a repurposed mobile chip, but it's still an eight-core chip that boosts up to 5 GHz. Don't expect the world with this build, but it'll do fantastic with 1080p gaming and even 1440p gaming in most games.

This is a great price for a solid midrange gaming PC with an RTX 5070. And there are two additional things that make it stand out. First, that incredibly beefy CPU, which should make this a fantastic choice for productivity work. Second, the 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, which is nice to see in combination with the other components given the current memory shortage.

Key specs: Core i9 14900F | RTX 5070 | 32 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD

This is a great price for what is not only a gaming PC with AMD's best graphics card, but also one that's rocking a pretty powerful eight-core chip. Paired with 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM and we're on to an all-AMD winner. You might want to slap another terabyte of storage in there before long, though.

This gaming PC is smack-bang in the middle of the reasonable price range for RTX 5070 Ti gaming PCs. This one, though, not only comes with 32 GB of DDR5 memory and 2 TB of storage, but also a pretty powerful Core i7 CPU. That's what sets this one apart from other builds of its ilk at this price range.

Key specs: Core i7 14700F | RTX 5070 Ti | 32 GB DDR5 | 2 TB SSD

This is around the price range of most good RTX 5070 Ti deals right now, but the difference here is you're getting a very nice (albeit previous-gen) CPU here with the Ryzen 7 7700. That eight-core, 16-thread CPU should be more than enough for the mid-range champ, the RTX 5070 Ti, and you're even getting 2 TB of storage.

The Hyte Y70 is a lovely big chassis to fit all that hulking great, powerful PC gaming hardware in it. The pick of the lot is the pairing of RTX 5080 with the Ryzen 7 9800X3D; this GPU/CPU combo is arguably the high-end gaming setup of choice. Unless your bathroom has solid gold taps and you then obviously want an RTX 5090. But this is the discerning gamer's combo, and when paired with 32 GB of fast DDR5 and a 2 TB SSD, you've got a great combo. Use coupon code 12DEALS to get the final price.

This is, of course, a ridiculously expensive PC. But if you're going big on an RTX 5090 build, you might as well go big, know what I mean? And this certainly does that, with 4 TB of storage and 64 GB of fast DDR5 RAM—during a memory shortage, too.

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 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD

This is a decent price for any RTX 5060 rig, but it's especially so when you consider you're getting 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM. And during a memory shortage, too. It's certainly an entry-level build, but the platform should have some longevity to it.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 8400F | RTX 5060 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 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.

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

For not too far above £1,000, you're getting a great budget build here. That CPU might be a repurposed mobile chip with a low TDP, but it'll get you by just fine for gaming with an RTX 5060 Ti, and you're getting 32 GB of fast RAM and 2 TB of storage to boot.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 8400F | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD

This is a great price for a solid midrange gaming PC. The RTX 5070 at the heart of this thing is surprisingly one of the best-value GPUs of this generation, and it's great for some 1440p gaming. One thing to note, though, is that you'll almost certainly want to upgrade that memory to a faster DDR5 kit as soon as you can, as 4,800 MT/s is quite slow.

Bear in mind that you have to configure this build to the below specs, but once you do so, you're getting a great price for a powerful AMD build. The RX 9070 XT can handle 1440p and even some 4K gaming a breeze, and the rest of the PC is very well-rounded, too. Just don't forget to configure that RAM and storage.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 7600X | RX 9070 XT | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD

The RX 9070 XT is AMD's top-end GPU offering right now, and with it you're getting RTX 5070 Ti-competing performance. That means high-end mainstream gaming at 1440p. Combined with a decent mid-range current-gen CPU you're getting a powerful setup, here. You'll probably want to double up that RAM and storage capacity before too long, though.

Key specs: Ryzen 5 9600X | RX 9070 XT | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD

With the RTX 5070 Ti at the heart of this gaming PC, you're getting something that's brushing the edges of high-end territory. It can handle 1440p gaming a breeze, and it can even give 4K a good shot in many games. And while new Ryzen 5 7600X3D in this gaming PC isn't a productivity powerhouse, it has plenty of 3D V-Cache, which games love churning through.

Unless you're willing to pay a significant extra premium for an X3D chip, this is about as ideal an RTX 5080 gaming PC you can get. It's got a decent eight-core CPU and 32 GB of fast DDR5 RAM, so the RTX 5080 shouldn't be bottlenecked at all. And that means great high-end performance at 1440p and 4K, even if you don't enable Multi Frame Gen (MFG).
