For a limited time, Walmart is offering the ABS Cyclone Aqua gaming PC with GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card for just $849 shipped. Despite the low price tag, this PC is still (much) more powerful than the more expensive Steam Machine and will get you a consistent 60fps in most games at 1080p. <\/p>\n<h2 data-cy=\"title2\" class=\"title2 jsx-1903782357 jsx-3735650234\">ABS Cyclone Aqua RTX 5060 Gaming PC for $849<\/h2>\n<div id=\"243720\">\n<div class=\"jsx-3980863763 catalog-wrapper\"><span data-cy=\"productcard-view-trigger\"><\/p>\n<div id=\"243720\" data-cy=\"solo-product-card\" class=\"solo-product SoloProduct_solo-product__r2_WP\">\n<div class=\"card jsx-303513100 jsx-3341285356 product-card SoloProduct_product-card__JSk8u\">\n<div class=\"product-thumbnail jsx-2285132617 SoloProduct_image__vqG4e\"><img alt=\"ABS Cyclone Intel Core 5 Processor 120 RTX 5060 Gaming PC (16GB\/1TB)\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"progressive-image jsx-1809694635 jsx-2338608387 expand\" loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/10\/14\/abscycloneaqua-1792020686140.jpg?width=220&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 1x, https:\/\/assets-prd.ignimgs.com\/2026\/10\/14\/abscycloneaqua-1792020686140.jpg?width=220&amp;dpr=2&amp;format=jpg&amp;auto=webp&amp;quality=80 2x\" data-cy=\"progressive-image\"\/><\/div>\n<p><h3 class=\"title5 jsx-62124236 jsx-2827240024 name balanced\">ABS Cyclone Intel Core 5 Processor 120 RTX 5060 Gaming PC (16GB\/1TB)<\/h3>\n<\/p>\n<p><button class=\"button-text jsx-729543028 button jsx-3027214138 jsx-3347269829 icon-button catalog-upvote SoloProduct_catalog-upvote__FWsVx centered disabled\" type=\"button\" title=\"Vote\" aria-label=\"Vote\" data-cy=\"catalog-upvote\" disabled=\"\"><span class=\"ign-icon icon-rating-like jsx-2750866048 jsx-2919720488\" role=\"presentation\" aria-hidden=\"true\" data-cy=\"icon-rating-like\" style=\"mask:url(https:\/\/kraken.ignimgs.com\/_next\/static\/media\/RatingLike.ea885513.svg?cors=1) no-repeat center center \/ contain;background:currentColor\"\/><\/p>\n<p>0<\/p>\n<p><\/button><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<p><\/span><\/div>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The ABS Cyclone gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core 5 Processor 120, GeForce RTX 5060 GPU, 16GB of <strong>DDR4 <\/strong>RAM, and a 1TB NVMe SSD. The Intel Core 5 120 CPU is a 6-core, 12-thread processor with a max boost clock of 4.5GHz. Note that this sytem uses DDR4 instead of DDR5 memory. You won&#8217;t notice any performance difference during gaming, but keep in mind that you&#8217;ll need to upgrade both the motherboard and processor if you ever want to move to DDR5 RAM.<\/p>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">The RTX 5060 graphics card is a great budget option for 1080p gaming<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The RTX 5060 outperforms its predecessor the RTX 4060 by about 20%-30% and that&#8217;s before factoring in DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation. This is a solid budget option for 1080p gaming and you should be able to squeeze consistent 60fps+ framerate out of just about any game. If you&#8217;re gunning for higher resolutions like 1440p or 4K, however, you&#8217;ll definitely want to upgrade to an RTX 5060 Ti (16GB) or better.<\/p>\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">If you&#8217;re even a little bit PC savvy, this is a much better deal than the Steam Machine<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">On a side note, this is a considerably more powerful computer than the $1,049 Steam Machine, which is equipped with a very low wattage CPU and a custom GPU equivalent to the Radeon RX 7600 or GeForce RTX 4060. Expect to see at the bare minimum a 20%-30% performance advantage for an RTX 5060 equipped gaming rig. The fact that the ABS Cyclone costs $200 less makes the comparison a moot point.<\/p>\n<section class=\"box-wrapper jsx-2673806401\">\n<aside class=\"card jsx-2310533475 jsx-1178573261 box\" data-cy=\"aside\">\n<h3 data-cy=\"title3\" class=\"title3 jsx-12333944 jsx-3517023867\">How to Follow IGN Deals Recommendations<\/h3>\n<p data-cy=\"paragraph\" class=\"paragraph jsx-2269604527\">The IGN Deals team has over 30 years of combined experience finding the best discounts and preorders available online.
