Gaming PCs don't have to be mega expensive, you know. This Yeiyan Yumi has all the right ingredients to get you started—a speedy six core, 12 thread CPU, an RTX 4060, plenty of RAM, and a decent amount of storage.
If you've been following the new Fallout TV show and wanted to get into the games on a gaming PC, you may have been put off by the prices of the best systems you can get. The thing is, you don't need to spend thousands of dollars to enjoy a quality 1080p gaming experience—this $800 Yeiyan Yumi is proof of that.
Kicking things off is the Core i5 12400F processor. Yes, it's three generations old now but its six cores and 12 threads are more than enough for most games, and the motherboard inside the PC supports more recent CPUs if you feel like upgrading at some point. As we discovered in our 12400F review, it's fast, cool, and a great little processor.
It's been sensibly paired with a GeForce RTX 4060. This graphics card has 3,072 shaders and a boost clock of 2,460 MHz, though it will often run faster than that. This is because Nvidia's latest chips use relatively little energy and the RTX 4060 often uses far less power than its 115 W limit. Best of all, it supports the latest version of DLSS, so you'll have access to AI-powered upscaling, frame generation, and ray tracing denoising in those games that offer those features.
To keep costs down, Yeiyan has fitted 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM—while it's not blazingly fast, it's more than enough memory for the majority of today's games. And when you reach a point when it's not, it'll be easy to replace it with a 32GB dual-channel kit.
Despite SSD prices climbing ever higher, this gaming PC comes with a 1TB
