Thermaltake Prebuilt PCs: 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 without breaking the bank, Thermaltake has two compelling options that fit nicely under a $1,000 budget. Let's dive into the details of these prebuilt gaming PCs and see which one might be the best fit for your gaming needs.

Thermaltake LCGS View Gaming PC: Intel Core i5 and Intel Arc B580 - $999.99

Thermaltake LCGS View Intel Core i5-14400F Intel Arc B580 Gaming PC (16GB/1TB)

Originally priced at $1,399.99, you can now grab this powerhouse for just $999.99 at Amazon, saving you a solid 29%. This deal includes an Intel Core i5-14400F processor, paired with the Intel Arc B580 GPU, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a speedy 1TB NVMe SSD. The system is housed in the sleek Thermaltake View 270 midtower chassis and cooled by a 120mm ARGB tower heatsink/fan combo.

The Intel Core i5-14400F is a 14th-gen processor with a max turbo frequency of 4.7GHz, boasting 10 cores, 16 threads, and a 20MB cache. This chip is more than capable of handling gaming demands without bottlenecking the GPU, meaning you won't need to upgrade the processor anytime soon to see better gaming performance. The PC is built using off-the-shelf components, making future upgrades straightforward.

The Intel Arc B580 is a standout budget GPU, delivering excellent performance at both 1080p and 1440p resolutions. It outperforms many of its competitors in the same price range, offering great value for money. As Jacqueline Thomas notes in her review:

"Intel Arc B580 Review by Jacqueline Thomas

Across my test suite, the Intel Arc B580 is an incredibly powerful graphics card at 1440p, especially when you consider 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."

Preorder the Thermaltake LCGS Quartz RTX 5060 Gaming PC - $1,099.99

Thermaltake LCGS Quartz Intel Core i5-14400F GeForce RTX 5060 Gaming PC (16GB/1TB)

For those loyal to Nvidia, the Thermaltake LGSP Quartz i1460 is available for preorder at Amazon for $1,099.99. This system features the upcoming GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, set to launch on May 19. While reviews are not yet available, it's expected to outperform the RTX 4060 and could be a strong competitor to the Intel Arc B580.

The RTX 5060 comes at a $100 premium over the Intel Arc B580 option, but for those looking for the latest Nvidia technology, it might be worth the extra cost. Keep in mind, Amazon won't charge your card until the product ships, which is scheduled for next week at the earliest.
