A prebuilt gaming PC with an RTX 5070 inside just dropped to $1,400 shipped, and right now that's one of the best prices you'll find on an RTX 5070 system anywhere. The deal is live through Newegg via Walmart, and it's the Thermaltake LGCS configuration that's been quietly sitting at higher prices for weeks.

What's inside the box
The spec sheet here is worth spelling out. You're getting an Intel Core i5-14400F, 16GB of DDR5-6000MHz RAM, a 1TB M.2 SSD, and most importantly, an RTX 5070 12GB GPU. The i5-14400F is a previous-gen chip with 10 cores and a max turbo of 4.7GHz. It's not the newest silicon on the block, but paired with a discrete GPU at this price point, it holds up well for gaming workloads.
Here's the thing: the RTX 5070 alone carries a $600 MSRP, and real-world street prices have been running higher than that due to ongoing GPU supply tightness. Getting the full system at $1,400 means the rest of the build, the CPU, RAM, SSD, case, cooling, and power supply, is effectively bundled in for around $800. That math is hard to argue with.
The RTX 5070 at 1080p, 1440p, and 4K
Nvidia's RTX 5070 sits in a strong position for 1080p and 1440p gaming. Compared to the RTX 4070 Super, the performance gap is modest in rasterization, but the difference opens up meaningfully in titles that support DLSS 4.5 with multi-frame generation enabled. If your game library skews toward newer releases, that gap will feel more significant over time as more titles adopt the feature.
At 4K, the RTX 5070 can handle most games, though you'll start hitting its ceiling in more demanding titles. Stepping up to the RTX 5070 Ti makes a noticeable difference at that resolution. For most people gaming on a 1440p monitor, though, this card is the sweet spot right now.
Where the trade-offs actually live
The CPU is the honest conversation here. The i5-14400F is Intel's 14th-gen mid-range chip, not the current-gen Core Ultra lineup. For pure gaming, the difference is minimal since most titles are GPU-bound at 1440p. CPU-heavy workloads like video editing or streaming while gaming are where you'd feel the gap more.
16GB of RAM is fine for gaming today, but some newer open-world titles are starting to push that limit. You'll likely want to upgrade to 32GB eventually, though the DDR5-6000MHz spec means you're already on fast memory, so adding another 16GB kit later is straightforward.
The 1TB SSD will fill up faster than you expect if you play large modern titles. That's a separate purchase down the line, not a dealbreaker at launch.
Putting this price in context
RTX 5070 prebuilts have been holding firm above $1,500 at most major retailers. A $1,400 entry point with free shipping is a genuine low for this GPU tier. The GPU supply situation hasn't eased dramatically, which means deals like this don't stick around for long.
For anyone who's been waiting on a 1440p-capable system without building from scratch, this Thermaltake configuration removes most of the friction. You're not getting a flagship CPU or a massive storage drive, but the GPU is the part that actually drives your gaming experience, and the RTX 5070 at this price is the real story.
