The Best Gaming PC Deal Under $1,000: The iBuypower RTX 5060 Prebuilt Drops to Just $899 – IGN

The iBuypower Element SE gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 225F processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5-5200MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 5 225F CPU has a max turbo frequency of 4.9GHz and 10 cores. It’s cooled by a 120mm tower heatsink and fan combo along with three additional 120mm RGB fans for system airflow. The Intel Core Ultra 5 is an energy efficient chip that works well for gaming. It doesn’t have as many cores as a Core Ultra 7 or 9 CPU, but most games won’t be able to utilize the extra cores anyway.

The GeForce RTX 5060 GPU is a great choice for 1080p

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5060 performs about 15% better than the RTX 4060. It will run pretty much any game in 1080p at framerates of up to 60fps, although some games might require some settings adjustments. 1440p is a viable option too, although you will see an improvement bumping up to a 5060 Ti at that point. Like all Blackwell GPUs, the RTX 5060 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, and the performance improvement over the 4060 will be bigger with games that support it, including Wuchang: Fallen Feathers, Doom: The Dark Ages, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and the upcoming Borderlands 4 and Battlefield 6 games.
