• Max Processor: 12th Generation Intel® Core™ i9-12900K Processor (E-cores up to 3.90 GHz P-cores up to 5.10 GHz)
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home 64
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3080 Ti 12GB GDDR6X
• Max Memory: 64 GB DDR5-4800MHz (UDIMM) – (4 x 16 GB)

It seems Lenovo isn’t content with excelling only in the gaming laptop department. They also have to offer some of the best when it comes to prebuilt PC gaming. Because the current Legion Tower 7i offers some impressive high-end specs.

This can play just about any game at 4K with Ultra settings and be future-proof for about five years minimum. The price is steep, but compared to other offerings with the same hardware, this one is more generous. The case might not be the most aesthetically pleasing, but you’ll need all the unobstructed airflow you can get with that level of hardware.

• Max Processor: 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Intel i7 12700KF
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home Advanced
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3080 Ti 12GB GDDR6X
• Max Memory: 16 GB
• Max Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Price: $2,446.61

If you’re looking to save up a bit but still want one of the best GPUs available for a prebuilt PC, then iBUYPOWER has something good to offer. The only difference from the more expensive Lenovo is the weaker processor and less memory, but the average gamer won’t notice these anyway. The RTX 3080 Ti will still be the workhorse here.

If you are worried about purchasing from a lesser-known brand, then you can always afford the added Protection Plan which extends the warranty for three to four more years. Even then, this prebuilt PC will still be more affordable compared to bigger brands.

• Max Processor: AMD Ryzen 9 5900 (12-Core, 70MB Total Cache, Max Boost Clock of 4.7GHz)
• Operating System: Windows 11 Home
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX™ 3080 10GB GDDR6X
• Max Memory: 32GB Dual Channel HyperX FURY DDR4 XMP at 3400MHz
• Max Storage: 1TB NVMe SSD
• Price: $2,599

If you must have your big brand prebuilt and want to put your trust in more established companies, then you can’t go wrong with Alienware by Dell. Whereas other brands opted for Intel, we have here one of the most powerful AMD processors at the moment (though there is also an Intel version which is on average, more expensive).

It’s more expensive compared to the iBUYPOWER underdog option despite having a weaker GPU, but the Alienware Aurora R10 makes up for that shortcoming with its more generous RAM capacity and more powerful CPU. That could be a more important factor for digital media professionals who are into gaming.

• Max Processor: 12th Generation Intel® Core™ Intel i7 12700KF
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3070Ti 8GB
• Max Memory: 16 GB
• Max Storage: 500 GB
• Price: $1,849.99

Now here’s another offering from iBUYPOWER, but this time, it’s more geared toward high-end consumers that aren’t too loose with their budget. It’s great for 1440p gaming, while the previous iBUYPOWER prebuilt PC is better suited for 4K gaming.

In any case, it’s hard to beat this price, especially since most of the bigger brands charge upwards of $2,000 for anything with an i7 processor paired with an RTX 3070 and above. You can simply put all that saved money into a more comprehensive warranty plan and again, it would still cost less compared to bigger brands.

• Max Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 3600 3.60 GHz
• Operating System: Windows 11 Pro
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3070 8 GB GDDR6
• Max Memory: 16 GB DDR4 3000 MHz
• Max Storage: 1 TB NVMe SSD
• Price: $1,449.99

For less than $1,500 and sporting an RTX 3070, this setup is a steal. It would be wise to take it over some of the bigger brands’ offerings as it’s easily less expensive by $500 on average. It does have its own set of compromises to explain the lower price, but overall, most of the hardware and components used here are the same caliber and quality as those in bigger brands.

As added bonus, you actually get to have addressable RGB lighting and theme, which is rare for something in this budget segment. Overall, it’s an awesome option for budget-conscious gamers looking for something high-end without breaking the bank.

• Max Processor: AMD Ryzen 5 5600X 6-core 12-thread 3.7GHz (4.6 GHz Max Boost)
• Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 TI 8GB GDDR6
• Max Memory: 16 GB DDR4 3200Mhz
• Max Storage: 1 TB NVMe SSD
• Price: $1,433.27

It’s nearly the same price as the other Skytech PC and that one has an RTX 3070 which is more powerful. So why opt for this one? Because there’s only a 10 percent performance difference between the RTX 3060 Ti and the RTX 3070, which is borderline negligible.

Moreover, this midrange PC has a better processor, better RAM, and a better-looking white case. That better processor and RAM/memory can offer better future-proofing. It’s also more important if you’re also using your gaming PC for digital media work.

• Max Processor: AMD Ryzen 7 5700G
• Operating System: Windows 10 Home 64-bit
• Max Graphics: NVIDIA® GeForce® RTX 3060 12GB GDDR6
• Max Memory: 16 GB DDR4
• Max Storage: 256GB PCIe NVMe M.2 SSD + 1TB 7200RPM HDD
• Price: $999.00

Who’d have thought that Asus would offer something like this at a sub-$1,000 price? Granted, the original price used to be $1,299.00, but Walmart’s putting it on sale at the moment. In any case, it’s hard to beat this deal. The eight-core AMD Zen 3 processor is one of the best selling points for this setup.

As for the GPU, it’s good enough for 1080p gaming, which still falls in the midrange category. One of the few downsides for this prebuilt PC is the lack of SSD space, but at $999, that’s a decent tradeoff. Plus, it comes with Asus’s own brand of RGB lighting.
