As mentioned, this is a pretty decent spec PC, with only the CPU leaving a little bit to be desired. Certainly, at its inflated $2,799 MSRP, this would be a dud, but at just over $1,700, it's much better value.
Get $1,075 off this RTX 5070 gaming PC with Intel Core Ultra 7 265F CPU, 32GB of RAM, 1TB SSD, and Windows 11. Use code JULY4PC50 for the extra $50.
While the RTX 5070 will chew through titles at 1440p, as you can see from our CPU testing data below, the 265K is a little underpowered when it comes to gaming. With that being said, it still easily offers over 100 FPS at 1080p in our 16-game testing suite, and thanks to its price, it has one of the highest FPS/$ value ratings of any CPU on the market. Nvidia's DLSS 4 support will also give you extra coverage to offset the 265K's shortcomings, thanks to multi-frame generation, if you decide to push up to 1440p or higher.
These CPUs are also much better at multi-threaded performance, beating out even AMD's big-gun X3D CPUs in tasks like Cinebench and Blender. As such, the 265F is a decent all-rounder that won't break the bank and is perfect if you want a PC for gaming and productivity.
