Budget Gaming PC Deals: Thermaltake Prebuilts with Intel Arc B580 or RTX 5060 Starting at $999

If you're looking to upgrade your gaming PC to handle the latest games at 1080p or 1440p while keeping your budget under $1,000, consider these two compelling options from Thermaltake. The first choice is the Thermaltake LCGS View Gaming PC, priced at $999.99 with free shipping. This prebuilt system features an Intel Core i5-14400F processor and an Intel Arc B580 GPU, delivering impressive performance for its price point. The Intel Arc B580 has proven to be one of the best budget GPUs on the market, offering solid, playable frame rates at up to 1440p and outperforming the GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 in numerous games.

The Thermaltake View i1458H-270 comes equipped with the powerful Intel Core i5-14400F, boasting a max turbo frequency of 4.7GHz with 10 cores, 16 threads, and a 20MB cache. This processor ensures you won't experience any bottlenecks with the GPU, making it a perfect choice for gamers on a budget. The system also includes 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM and a 1TB NVMe SSD, housed in a stylish Thermaltake View 270 midtower chassis. The PC uses off-the-shelf components, making future upgrades straightforward. Cooling is managed efficiently with a 120mm ARGB tower heatsink/fan combo.

Intel Arc B580 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

"Across my test suite, the Intel Arc B580 proves to be an incredibly powerful graphics card at 1440p, especially considering its $249 price tag. Intel could have easily just matched the performance of other graphics cards on the market, but instead, it soundly beats the competition while cutting the price, giving us a budget card that doesn’t suck for once. And sure, it would be nice if Intel didn’t cut the VRAM from 16GB on the Arc A770 to 12GB on the B580, but it’s not like the performance is suffering from it."

For those who prefer Nvidia, the Thermaltake LGSP Quartz i1460 Gaming PC is another excellent option, though it's priced at $1,099.99 and currently available for preorder. It features the soon-to-be-released Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, set for a May 19 launch. While reviews are pending, it's expected to outperform the RTX 4060 and potentially match or exceed the Intel Arc B580. This prebuilt is a good choice for 1440p gaming, though it's worth noting that for just $100 more, you could opt for an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) prebuilt for $1,200. Amazon won't charge your card until the order ships out.
