RTX 3060 + Intel Core i7 12700 + 16GB RAM for $1,050 = Bargain!

$1,049.99 at HP

The RTX 3060 is a great GPU for 1080p gaming, and paired with Intel's Alder Lake Core i7, as it is here, means you're looking at a core pairing that can handle all kinds of tasks with ease. That HP hasn't cut corners with the rest of the spec is great too—16GB of RAM is healthy and the classic combo of a 512GB SSD and a 1TB hard drive means you get plenty of storage space too.

HP has avoided such pitfalls with its Victus 15L, which is enjoying a $350 saving on its normal price right now, bringing it down to just. For that, you get a lot of PC for today's games and it should absolutely last you a good while too. It isn't a bad-looking machine either, with its clean white look. There's no side window mind, so if you like to gaze upon your components, you may want to look elsewhere.

You'll regularly find system builders getting rid of last-gen CPUs at this kind of price point but that's not the case here, with HP pairing this GPU with Intel's latest Alder Lake generation. You're looking at a Core i7 12700, which has eight Performance cores and four Efficient cores for a total of 20 threads. The max turbo of 4.9GHz means it's no slouch when it comes to keeping that GPU busy.

That HP hasn't cut corners when it comes to the rest of the spec is to be commended, with 16GB of DDR4-3200 and a 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD. There's a 1TB hard drive to make sure you don't run out of space as well. On top of that, you get support for Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.2, and gigabit ethernet too. That's a lot of PC for the money.Alan has been writing about PC tech since before 3D graphics cards existed, and still vividly recalls having to fight with MS-DOS just to get games to load.

That case can't breathe, if this doesn't overheat it's probably underclocked to shit.

I understand why my main got nerfed, but the pain is realImogen has been playing games for as long as she can remember but finally decided games were her passion when she got her hands on Portal 2. Ever since then she’s bounced between hero shooters, RPGs, and indies looking for her next fixation, searching for great puzzles or a sniper build to master. When she’s not working for PC Gamer, she’s entertaining her community live on Twitch, hosting an event like GDC, or in a field shooting her Olympic recurve bow. chamber is broken, it doesn't sting bro it heals Why I stopped playing Overwatch, largely. Needing to relearn my favorite characters every update after they were nerfed into the ground stopped being fun. what do you even know about main nerfs?
