If you browse through the kinds of prebuilt gaming PCs currently on offer in the Prime Day sales, you’ll see that you’ll be looking at spending around $1,200 to $1,300 for an RTX 5060 Ti setup. That’s not ideal, but it’s all down to the excessive price tags that memory kits and SSDs now sport.
But what if I told you that you could build your own 5060 Ti gaming PC for less money? Specifically, about $170 less. Yes, that’s right: a full system, with a punchy little processor, 16 GB of fast DDR5 memory, 1 TB of storage, and an RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB graphics card, all for $1,058.
The only thing you’ll need to add is an operating system, and that’s easy enough. You could choose a Linux distro, such as Bazzite, or you could just slap on Windows 11 and…ahem…never activate it. You’ll be pestered constantly with messages about that, and you won’t be able to fully personalize Windows, but you’re not spending any money, either.
Or you could buy a license, of course, which will run you a bit extra. Anyway, here are all the PC component deals you need to make a decent gaming PC that isn’t priced to the moon and back.
