iBuypower RTX 5060 PC: Best Budget Gaming Rig Under $1,000

One of the best budget gaming PC deals I've spotted all year is back, and it's now even cheaper. Walmart is currently selling the iBuypower Element SE GeForce RTX 5060 gaming PC for just $849, thanks to a $350 instant discount. This price includes free delivery. Sold and shipped directly by Walmart, it can arrive as soon as tomorrow depending on your location. That's $50 less than its previous price during the Walmart Labor Day Sale. The RTX 5060 graphics card is an excellent value for playing the latest and upcoming games at 1080p resolution.

iBuypower Element SE Intel Core Ultra 5 225F RTX 5060 Gaming PC (16GB/1TB)

$1,199.00 Save 29% $849.00 at Walmart

This iBuypower Element SE gaming PC features an Intel Core Ultra 5 225F processor, a GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F CPU boasts a max turbo frequency of 4.9GHz and 10 cores. It's more than capable for gaming, as the GPU handles most of the performance load. While it has fewer cores than a Core Ultra 7 or 9 CPU, most games cannot effectively utilize more than eight cores anyway. The system is cooled by a 120mm tower heatsink and fan combination.

The GeForce RTX 5060 GPU is an excellent choice for 1080p gaming

Compared to the previous generation, the RTX 5060 delivers roughly 15% better performance than the RTX 4060. It can run virtually any modern game at 1080p with frame rates up to 60fps. 1440p gaming is also possible, though you'd see a more notable improvement by stepping up to a 5060 Ti for that resolution. As part of the Blackwell family, the RTX 5060 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. The performance gain over the RTX 4060 is even more significant in games that utilize this technology, such as Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur, Borderlands 4, and the upcoming Battlefield 6.
