Most gamers prefer to build their gaming pc on their own, one part at a time. however, a pre-built PC is a more convenient and time-saving option—you can simply open it, set it up, and start gaming in a few minutes.
A good pre-built gaming PC includes an advanced graphics card and most importantly it does not cost significantly more than comparable components. After combing through comments on hundreds of subreddits, we discovered the pre-built gaming PCs that both casual gamers and esports veterans enjoy the most.
Best Pre-Built Gaming PCs
- Skytech Pro Eclipse
- Corsair Vengeance i7500
- CyberpowerPC Xtreme
- Acer Predator Orion 3000
- Skytech Gaming Nebula
Skytech Pro Eclipse
This prebuilt PC is the best compared to all. It’s performance is, predictably great. Out-of-the-box, the PC scored 25,397 on the Port Royal benchmark, which is only a shade under the average for machines using the same components. A mild overclock would see it hitting 28k. With a bit more effort, the 30k+ results at the top of the table are achievable.
Specifications
- CPU: Intel i9 13900K
- RAM: 32GB (2x16GB) Kingston Fury Beast 5200Mhz DDR5
- Storage: 1TB MSI Spatium M450 M.2 NVMe’
- GPU: MSI Gaming Trio X RTX 4090 24GB
Corsair Vengeance i7500
The Corsair Vengeance i7500 is a real powerhouse in the world of gaming. It’s not cheap, but if you can afford it you’ll get killer performance and a good looking pc. This prebuilt have latest and greatest gaming components.
Specifications
- CPU: Intel Core i9 14900KF
- RAM: 64GB Vengeance RGB DDR5
- Storage: 2TB M.2 SSD
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
The Vengeance i7500 comes with some additional features that justify its higher price tag. Despite its power, it is surprisingly quiet, barely audible even from the next room. So you won’t have to worry about waking up someone or explaining to your roommate why the noise sounds like a jet engine revving up. Plus, it looks nice, especially if you like RGB lighting. When it comes to upgrading or rebuilding, both the case and power supply have plenty of space and capacity.
The Vengeance does have its drawbacks, especially when it comes to customization. Corsair limits your options there. For example, you can only pair the RTX 4090 with the i9-14900K, and if you want more than 64 GB of RAM, you’re stuck with an i5 or i7 CPU. And forget about getting a secondary storage drive with any configuration.
MSI Infinite RS
Casual PC gamers will be more than satisfied with MSI’s impressive performance, leaving only the most dedicated fraggers and benchmark enthusiasts wanting more. MSI Infinite RS 13th is an excellent choice for those looking to make a bold statement with their desktop setup. Its powerful capabilities make it an ideal centerpiece.
Specifications
- CPU: Intel Core i9-13900KF 3.0GHz
- RAM: 64GB DDR5
- Storage: 2TB M.2 NVMe
- GPU: NVIDIA GeForce RTX 4090
Acer Predator Orion 3000
Acer’s Predator Orion 3000 is ideal for gaming at 1080p or even 1440p, but forget about 4K. Though its performance is slightly below par, the stylish, easy-to-access case and sub-$2,000 price make this an excellent first gaming PC for those new to the scene.
Specifications
- CPU: Intel Core i7-11700F
- RAM: 16GB DDR4
- Storage: 1TB Western Digital PCIe SSD
- GPU: Nvidia GeForce RTX 3070
In a lot of ways, I believe the Acer Predator Orion 3000 is the ideal first gaming PC for someone looking to enter the hobby.
You can get one like our review unit for less than $2,000 and still get the power of an RTX 3070 in a sleek, reasonably-sized case that lights up and looks good on a desk.
The case is simple to open when you’re ready to try your hand at an upgrade (more RAM would be a good start), but even if you never upgrade, this PC has enough power to play the latest games at high framerates for years to come. Furthermore, it comes neatly packaged with a functional mouse and keyboard in a single, easy-to-open box.
Skytech Gaming Nebula
The Skytech Nebula Gaming PC is likely the most affordable gaming machine available, featuring Nvidia’s RTX 4060 GPU, a 2.5GHz Intel Core i5-13400F CPU, and a 600W Gold power supply unit. It may not be the award-winning desktop to run the latest titles at Ultra settings, but it is a solid, attractive desktop that does the job well and at a reasonable price.
Specifications
- CPU: intel Core i5 13400F
- RAM: 16GB DDR4 RAM 3200
- Storage: 1TB NVME SSD
- GPU: NVIDIA RTX 4060
As an entry-level desktop, it has some flaws, such as the limitations that are common in midrange hardware. Well, it still handles 1080p gaming quite well. However, you should not expect a PC equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 4060 to handle ultra-settings with ray tracing enabled.
However, for less than a grand, you get an impressive package that, for most people looking for a good entry-level option, could be one of the best gaming PCs available right now. Again, there are other Nebula configurations with up to RTX 4080 GPUs to consider if you can stretch your budget a little further.
