Now, I could’ve told you that without sitting in front of a benchmarking rig for hours (hey Intel, hire me), but I appreciate Intel putting in the work to produce some hard evidence to back up its claims. They got an awful lot of numbers, and drew the conclusion that those graphics cards are best paired not with a high-end next-gen i9 processor, but actually one of Intel’s previous 12th-gen i5 or i7 chips. Shrout and his team did an absolute ton of testing with Intel’s Arc A750 and A770 GPUs, looking to get some concrete figures to best recommend which CPU to pair with which GPU. You can find a full list of participating retailers right here, should you want to peruse more options.
Not only does it benefit from NZXT’s signature style and clean design, but it packs the more powerful Arc A770 card - meaning it should be able to power through the vast majority of games at 1080p and even 1440p. I tallied up the exact specs for one of the cheaper A750 models - the Thermaltake LCGS Quartz i750, which will cost you $899.99 on Newegg - and found that it would cost me at least a thousand dollars to build it myself, and that’s before paying for a copy of Windows 11.įor my money, I’d get NZXT’s Player: One gaming PC. And those pre-built systems? Yeah, they’re pretty great value - more or less the perfect machine for a PC gamer on a budget who just wants a reliable 1080p gaming machine.
