Looking to upgrade your gaming PC for 1080p or 1440p gaming while staying under $1,000? Thermaltake offers two excellent options. First is the Thermaltake LCGS View Gaming PC featuring an Intel Core i5 processor and Intel Arc B580 GPU for $999.99 with free shipping. The Intel Arc B580 stands out as one of the best budget GPUs we've tested recently, delivering solid frame rates up to 1440p that outperform both the GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600 in many games. Alternatively, consider the Thermaltake LGSP Quartz i1460 Gaming PC with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU priced at $1,099.99. This prebuilt system is currently on preorder with shipping expected next week following the RTX 5060's official May 19 release.

The Thermaltake View i1458H-270 comes equipped with an Intel Core i5-14400F processor, Intel Arc B580 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Using standard off-the-shelf components makes future upgrades simple. The 14th-gen Intel Core i5-14400F processor boasts a 4.7GHz max turbo frequency with 10 cores, 16 threads, and 20MB cache - a capable gaming chip that won't bottleneck the GPU. Cooling comes from a 120mm ARGB tower heatsink/fan combo housed in a Thermaltake View 270 midtower case.
The Intel Arc B580 delivers impressive performance for a budget graphics card, excelling at both 1080p and 1440p gaming while outperforming similarly priced competitors. Though Intel's Battlemage GPU may be less renowned than Nvidia and AMD options, it represents rare value in a sector often plagued by inflated prices and limited availability.
"In extensive testing, the Intel Arc B580 proves to be remarkably powerful at 1440p, especially considering its $249 price point. Instead of merely matching competitors, Intel surpasses them while offering a lower price - finally delivering a budget card that doesn't compromise performance. While the reduced 12GB VRAM (down from Arc A770's 16GB) might raise eyebrows, performance remains uncompromised." - Jacqueline Thomas

For those preferring Nvidia, this Thermaltake LGSP Quartz i1460 prebuilt features the soon-to-launch GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card. While reviews are pending ahead of the May 19 release, performance is expected to at least match - if not exceed - the RTX 4060, potentially rivaling the Intel Arc B580. The $100 premium over the Arc B580 model might justify the upgrade for 1440p gaming, though an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) prebuilt at $1,200 represents another option. Note that Amazon won't charge until shipment.
