$1,149 for this 1440p gaming rig is an absolute steal in this Limited-time Woot sale — get an RTX 5060 Ti GPU inside Lenovo's Legion Tower 5i, now $410 off
Pick up a new gaming PC for a song with this fantastic price on a new RTX 5060 Ti Lenovo gaming rig, which is on a limited-time sales discount at Woot. The Lenovo Legion Tower 5i is only $1149.99 while stocks last, or the sale timer runs out - whichever occurs first. The original list price for this gaming rig is $1559.99, so you're pocketing a substantial $410 saving on today's deal. Full of current PC hardware, the Legion Tower 5i is a good pick for a competent gaming machine, capable of playing the majority of games comfortably at 1080p and 1440p resolutions on medium to high settings.
The hardware components used inside the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i include the aforementioned RTX 5060 Ti from Nvidia, with 8GB of GDDR7 VRAM, an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor with 20 cores and 20 threads, a B860 mATX motherboard, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB SSD for your games and operating system. The Intel CPU used in this config might not be the absolute best for gaming, such as an AMD X3D chip, but it's still a very competent CPU for gaming, and has the added bonus of being more effective for multi-threaded applications, perfect if you intend to use this PC for more than just gaming.
Lenovo's Legion Tower 5i features an 8GB RTX 5060 Ti graphics card from Nvidia, an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F processor, a B860 mATX motherboard, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB PCIe Gen 4 SSD for storage.
The Nvidia RTX 5060 Ti comes in two flavors: an 8GB and a 16GB version. This Legion Tower 5i is using the smaller 8GB variant, and that reduction does have an effect if you're intending to play games at higher resolutions. At 1080p, there shouldn't be any issues, but at 1440p with ultra settings and even 4K, you're going to start running out of precious VRAM very quickly. Below is a comparison chart between the 8GB and 16GB versions in our array of benchmarked gaming tests.
As gaming PCs go, this Lenovo Legion Tower 5i for just $1,149.99 is one to seriously consider, especially if you're looking for a capable rig from a trusted brand for under $1500. Gaming PCs with similar specifications are hard to find near this price point, and with a substantial $410 saving, you can pick up a bunch of games or some new peripherals to go with it.

Well, for a 1440p experience in a lot of games, a user would have to use FG on the GPU to hit playable FPS. Once your 1%/0.1% lows hit below 60, you're in for a choppy experience.
