If you browse through the kinds of prebuilt gaming PCs currently on offer in the Prime Day sales, you’ll see that you’ll be looking at spending around $1,200 to $1,300 for an RTX 5060 Ti setup. That’s not ideal, but it’s all down to the excessive price tags that memory kits and SSDs now sport.
But what if I told you that you could build your own 5060 Ti gaming PC for less money? Specifically, about $170 less. Yes, that’s right: a full system, with a punchy little processor, 16 GB of fast DDR5 memory, 1 TB of storage, and an RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB graphics card, all for $1,058.

The only thing you’ll need to add is an operating system, and that’s easy enough. You could choose a Linux distro, such as Bazzite, or you could just slap on Windows 11 and…ahem…never activate it. You’ll be pestered constantly with messages about that, and you won’t be able to fully personalize Windows, but you’re not spending any money, either.
Or you could buy a license, of course, which will run you a bit extra. Anyway, here are all the PC component deals you need to make a decent gaming PC that isn’t priced to the moon and back.

Bundle components:
> AMD Ryzen 5 9600X processor > Gigabyte B850M Eagle WiFi motherboard> Samsung 990 Pro 1 TB NVMe SSD
The Ryzen 5 9600X is a great little CPU, with lots of punch for the biggest games, and Gigabyte’s Micro-ATX motherboard is the ideal match for it. With two M.2 slots, you’ve got room to add more storage to complement the Samsung 990 Pro.
Key specs: 6-core, 12-thread CPU | mATX motherboard | 2x PCIe slots | 2x M.2 slots | 8x rear USB ports | 1 TB PCIe NVMe SSDView Deal
AMD’s latest processors only support DDR5 memory, so it’s a must-buy, unfortunately. However, this kit from Team Group is the cheapest around, and it’s speedy stuff, too. Use promo code FTTF4657 to get the full discount.
Key specs: 16 GB (2x 8 GB) | DDR5 | 6000 MT/s | CL38 | XMP | EXPOView Deal
The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti is a lot cheaper than the 16 GB one, and while the extra VRAM will be useful in the future, it’s absolutely not worth paying $190 more for it, despite the clear benefits. This is a great little GPU for the money. You need to have a Newegg account and use the same email address to claim the $50 promo code.
Key specs: 4608 shaders | 2692 MHz boost | 8 GB GDDR7
RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB price check: Amazon $349.99 | Best Buy $369.99 | Walmart $369.99 | B&H $374.99View Deal
It’s small and simple, but it looks a treat, and because the Ryzen 5 9600X only has a 65 W TDP, it will have no problem keeping the processor’s thermals in check. At this price, it’s ridiculously good value for money, too.
Key specs: 120 mm fan | ARGB | AM4, AM5 | LGA 1851, 1700, 1150, 151, 1200View Deal
Yes, it’s a non-modular power supply unit, so you’ll have ‘fun’ dealing with the cables, but at this price, I don’t think you can complain at all. It even comes with a dedicated 12V-2×6 cable for when you want to upgrade to a more powerful RTX graphics card.
Key specs: 750 W | 80 Plus | Non-modularView Deal
This DIY PC case is cheap and basic, and perhaps a tad wobbly in places due to the thin metal used here and there, but you get three fans included, and it will take a normal-sized PSU as well. In other words, perfect for the penny-saving build.
