This gaming PC is packing a lot of hardware for not a lot of money. There's a 10-core, 16-thread CPU that will handle pretty much any game you like and the RTX 4070 is a great 1440p GPU. Even 4K isn't out of reach, thanks to its DLSS upscaling and frame generation features. The storage and RAM are perfectly acceptable in capacity and speed, but the PSU is fairly miserly at just 650W. If you wanted to upgrade the graphics card to something like an RTX 4090, you'd need to replace the power supply.
This has been a great year for PC games and with so many sporting the latest graphics technology and techniques, this is an ideal starter or upgrade PC to enjoy them on.
Don't be fooled by the fact that the CPU is a budget model. The Core i5 13400F has six P-cores and four E-cores, and with a maximum clock of 4.6GHz, you won't feel much need to have anything better. One good thing about this PC is that the motherboard supports all 13th and 14th Gen Intel processors, so if you do want to upgrade in the future, you won't need to change the motherboard and RAM.
The GeForce RTX 4070 is an excellent GPU and performs just as well as the previous gen RTX 3080 in most games. It fully supports every feature in Nvidia's DLSS 3.5 so you'll be able to activate upscaling and frame generation, in games that offer them, for higher frame rates.
For once, this is a prebuilt PC that sports dual channel RAM. With two sticks of 8GB DDR5-5600, the i5 13400F processor isn't going to be short on memory bandwidth. At this price, you'd normally expect to see older DDR4 or just one stick of 16GB RAM.
It's not a perfect gaming PC, though.
