Best gaming PC deals: Lenovo Legion, ASUS ROG, Acer Predator

Investing in a new gaming PC may cost a lot, especially if you want a powerful machine that can run games at 4K resolution and high refresh rates. There are many options out there, and while we usually make our choices based on MSRP, gaming desktops are unique in that you can make one from scratch. However, that requires in-depth knowledge on a gaming PC’s components and the patience to hunt for parts piece by piece, not to mention putting them all together. So that you won’t have to go through that hassle, we’ve found the best gaming PC deals that you can take advantage of to simplify matters.

Best for Entry-Level: Lenovo LOQ Tower

If you’re looking for the cheapest gaming PC that’s still a viable gaming PC, then the Lenovo LOQ Tower is an excellent option. It comes with an RTX 3050, which is entry-level but should handle most free-to-play games just fine, as well as older games from the past few years at 60Hz on lower graphical settings. It also comes with a mid-range Intel Core i5-13400F CPU that’s fine for gaming and productivity work, and the 16GB of DDR4 RAM is a surprisingly large amount for this price point and will give you a solid day-to-day experience.

Best for Budget: Lenovo Legion Tower 5

If you’re willing to add a little bit more, then bumping up to the Lenovo Legion Tower 5 nets you an RTX 4060, a solid 1080p card that will be able to handle a lot more games with higher graphical settings and refresh rates. It also gives you access to the latest DLSS 3.0 since you didn’t get that on the previous generations. Ram is a bit on the lower end with just 8GB, but at least it’s DDR5 Memory, so it’s a bit faster, while the 512Gb should be more than enough to get you started. As for the processor, the AMD Ryzen 5-7600 is a mid-range CPU that’s perfectly paired with the RTX 4060 and is fine for other tasks like productivity and general use.
