The boom in AI has caused prices for new gaming PCs, along with the components used to build them, to skyrocket. That makes this $1,349 price tag one you can't ignore if you're looking for a budget-friendly rig. While it can't compete with the epic 9800X3D and RTX 5090 combos you'll spot on sale for thousands of dollars more, you're still getting a seriously good spec sheet for the money, with one of Intel's best CPUs in recent years, along with the formidable mid-tier RTX 5070 from Nvidia.
RTX 5070, Core Ultra 250KF, 16GB DDR5, 1TB SSD Save $520.99 CyberPowerPC Gamer Xtreme: was $1,869.99 now $1,349 at Walmart A budget-friendly gaming rig from PC building outfit CyberPowerPC, this formidable machine comes equipped with the specs for handling modern games at 1440p and 4K. It has an Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF, Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070, 16GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD.
Our review of the Intel Core Ultra 5 250KF made clear that Intel had produced a worthy CPU for budget gamers here. Cheap and cheerful, the 250KF (the F meaning it lacks an integrated GPU, which isn't a problem here) is an efficient workhorse that competes with the AMD Ryzen 5 9600X for gaming, while offering productivity scores that rival CPUs that are twice as expensive.
This is not a processor that is expected to rival the highest-end processors, but our CPU benchmarks confirm it isn't underpowered, either. It sits just 1% off the 9600X, and 9% behind the 7600X3D for gaming. With the RTX 5070, especially using DLSS, the 250KF won't be a huge bottleneck at the high end. It comes with 18 cores, with six performance cores and 12 efficient cores, and a boost clock speed of 5.3 GHz.

Coupled with the CPU, however, is the impressive Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070. Our RTX 5070 review makes clear that this is a powerful GPU for gaming and a solid, mid-tier option for buyers to consider. That's why it joins our best GPU list as the best all-rounder Nvidia GPU for gamers from its current generation.
You're getting a GPU that comes equipped with 6,144 CUDA cores and 12GB of GDDR7 VRAM, operating on a 192-bit memory bus. This will deliver high frame rates at 1080p, even with high-to-ultra graphics presets. 4K and 1440p are possibilities here, too, although the most intensive games will require you to tweak your graphics settings.
Luckily, Nvidia's current-gen Blackwell GPUs like this one unlock the latest Nvidia features, specifically DLSS 4 and multi-frame generation. Yes, AI-generated frames are controversial, but in a budget rig, it'll help you push over 4K with decent and playable frame rates.
