I'm sure all us gamers are tired of being brought down by the RAM crisis, despondent at the thought that upgrading our aging hardware will be out of reach for a while. But I've got some good news, because if you're looking to replace your entire system, case and all, then now might be a great time to buy a prebuilt gaming desktop — and they don't come much better than the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i, which is $1,249.99 (was $1,559.99) at Amazon right now.

This gaming desktop behemoth should satisfy the needs of most players, given it's loaded with an RTX 5060 Ti, an Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, 16GB of RAM, and 1TB of storage. You also get three months of PC Game Pass free.

I reviewed the Lenovo Legion Tower 5, the bigger sibling to the 5i, and was blown away by it in many regards. Firstly, the case was truly remarkable, with a phenomenal sturdiness and an ultra-premium feel, and the 5i's looks to be much the same. However, it was very heavy; the 5i is lighter, but it's still not what you'd call easily maneuverable.

The RTX 5060 Ti should see you hitting 60fps in most games on high or even maximum settings with a 1080p resolution. Although 4K gaming is becoming increasingly popular, many of the best gaming monitors are sticking with Full HD or 1440p outputs, so you're not exactly missing out.
