The RTX 5070 carries 12GB of VRAM and suits 1440p. Every system here pairs it with 32GB of memory, so the CPU, the SSD and the power supply separate them.

We compared the parts each listing names: CPU, graphics card and VRAM, memory, storage and, where stated, the power supply. We did not test these systems, and we left out listings that hide a part behind terms like "Core i7" or "brand may vary".

Skytech Gaming PC (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5070, 2TB)

Skytech's 9800X3D build pairs the X3D chip with an RTX 5070 and doubles storage to a 2TB SSD.

Best for

Large game libraries.

Skip if

Price-first buyers should look at the KOTIN 9700X RTX 5070, which cost less when we checked.
Skytech Gaming PC (Ryzen 7 9800X3D, RTX 5070, 2TB)

Why we like it

The warranty covers one year of parts and labor. On SSD capacity it leads this guide at 2TB, ahead of the KOTIN 9700X RTX 5070 (1TB). It shares a ryzen 7 9800X3D processor with the iBUYPOWER Y40; the Element i7 RTX 5070 goes with a core i7-14700F processor.

Check the Skytech 9800X3D RTX 5070's ports against your monitor: most graphics cards use DisplayPort and HDMI, so match the cable to the refresh rate you want. The Skytech 9800X3D RTX 5070's PSU wattage isn't published, so ask the seller before planning a GPU upgrade. Only the iBUYPOWER Y40 came close to it on price at the time of writing; it cost the most of the 5 picks.

Pass on it if sSD capacity of 1TB, behind the Skytech 9800X3D RTX 5070 (2TB) rules it out for your setup.
KOTIN Prebuilt Gaming PC (Ryzen 7 9700X, RTX 5070 12GB)

Why we like it

It names an 850W 80 Plus Gold power supply. It matches the iBUYPOWER Y40, the CyberPowerPC 9900X RTX 5070 and the Element i7 RTX 5070 on SSD capacity (1TB). No other pick in this guide offers a ryzen 7 9700X processor; compare the CyberPowerPC 9900X RTX 5070, which has a ryzen 9 9900X processor.

Like the CyberPowerPC 9900X RTX 5070 and Element i7 RTX 5070, it has a DDR5 memory type, while the iBUYPOWER Y40 uses a DDR5-5200 memory type. Check the KOTIN 9700X RTX 5070's ports against your monitor: most graphics cards use DisplayPort and HDMI, so match the cable to the refresh rate you want. The 850W power supply is the stated figure; check its connectors before a later GPU upgrade. It undercut the Element i7 RTX 5070 and every other pick on price at the time of writing.
