Deal | With 32 GB DDR5 RAM: Lenovo Legion Tower 5i gaming desktop packs RTX 5070 Ti, and is now $850 off for a limited time

Building a gaming PC has become the stuff of nightmares in 2026. This is, of course, thanks to skyrocketing prices for basic components such as memory, storage, and GPUs owing to the AI hype machine gobbling up supply chains like never before.

However, as we have stated and covered previously, attractive gaming hardware deals can still be found if one puts in the hours. For instance, the Lenovo Legion Tower 5i gaming PC is now available for just $1,749 on B&H Photo Video courtesy of a $850 discount.

Pre-built Lenovo gaming desktop with 20-core CPU, RTX 5070 Ti, and 32 GB RAM

The gaming desktop comes equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, Intel Core Ultra 7 265F, and last but most definitely not least - 32 GB of DDR5-5600 (UDIMM) memory along with a 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD (WD SN7100 currently $390 on Amazon). 

Previous generations of the Legion Tower 5i have gathered positive reviews from critics in terms of overall performance, with particular praise for the case's airflow courtesy of its mesh front panel. Like typical desktops, the components inside are upgradeable. Of course, mileage may vary in terms of overclocking potential should one decide to throw in a much more power hungry chip.

The 65-watt Intel Core Ultra 7 265F is a decent CPU, packing 20-cores for admirable multithread performance in synthetic benchmarks such as Cinebench. The "F" suffix indicates that there is no onboard iGPU, which should not be a big deal considering that the system already comes with a dedicated GPU.

Speaking of which, the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti is an excellent card, promising a roughly 25% uplift over its predecessor and comes packed with 16 GB of GDDR7 memory.

As mentioned earlier, reviews of the desktop suggest perfectly acceptable sustained performance. Of course, someone desiring to squeeze out every ounce of performance will likely be better served by a custom rig with a "K" processor and liquid cooling. Others, who simply want a good gaming experience at an acceptable price will be well-served by the Legion Tower 5i gaming desktop.
