RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC shows value beyond raw performance

For $1,299 at B&H Photo, this RTX 5060 Ti gaming PC offers more than just a decent GPU. The system ships with the 8 GB version of the card, but balances that with other components that should help its longevity. Eight gigabytes of VRAM can limit max-settings play in some modern titles, though testing has shown it does not hinder performance too much if you lower settings a little.

The build includes 16 GB of system memory, which is fine for gaming provided background apps are kept to a minimum; bear in mind the RAM is single-channel and will perform a bit worse than a dual-channel kit. Where this machine stands out is in its faster RAM compared with similarly priced rivals and a roomy 2 TB SSD—an uncommon feature in rigs below $1,500—which both add real value.

There is a caveat: the SSD is a Kingston NV2, which does not seem to be the most reliable.
