Looking to boost your gaming PC for smooth 1080p or 1440p gameplay without exceeding $1,000? Thermaltake offers two compelling choices. The first is the Thermaltake LCGS View Gaming PC, featuring an Intel Core i5 processor and Intel Arc B580 GPU, priced at just $999.99 with free shipping. The Intel Arc B580 delivers impressive performance for its class, handling 1440p gaming with playable frame rates—often outperforming the GeForce RTX 4060 and Radeon RX 7600. Alternatively, the Thermaltake LGSP Quartz i1460 Gaming PC comes equipped with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 5060 GPU for $1,099.99. Currently available for preorder, this system ships next week following the RTX 5060’s official May 19 launch.

The Thermaltake View i1458H-270 packs an Intel Core i5-14400F CPU, Intel Arc B580 GPU, 16GB DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. Built entirely with standard components, upgrades are hassle-free down the line. The 14th-gen i5-14400F boasts a 4.7GHz turbo frequency, 10 cores, 16 threads, and 20MB cache—ideal for gaming without bottlenecking the GPU. Cooling comes from a 120mm ARGB tower heatsink/fan, all housed in a Thermaltake View 270 midtower case.
The Intel Arc B580 punches above its weight for budget-friendly gaming, excelling at 1080p and 1440p while surpassing similarly priced GPUs. Though Intel’s Battlemage line lacks the brand recognition of Nvidia or AMD, don’t overlook its rare value in a market often plagued by inflated prices and scarcity.
Intel Arc B580 Review by Jacqueline Thomas
"In testing, the Intel Arc B580 proves shockingly capable at 1440p—especially given its $249 MSRP. Instead of merely competing with peers, it dominates while undercutting their prices, delivering legit budget performance. Yes, trimming VRAM from 16GB (A770) to 12GB stings slightly, but real-world impact is negligible."

For Nvidia loyalists, Amazon lists this Thermaltake LGSP Quartz i1460 with the unreleased GeForce RTX 5060. Slated for a May 19 debut, benchmarks remain under wraps, but expect at least RTX 4060-level performance—likely rivaling the Intel Arc B580. At $100 more than the Arc B580 build, the trade-off for 1440p gaming may justify the cost, though RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) prebuilts hover near $1,200. Note: Amazon only charges upon shipment.
