If you've been waiting for a pre-built gaming PC to slide into impulse-buy territory, one just did. According to Tom's Hardware, Thermaltake's View u2660T-170 is discounted on Woot right now to as little as $1,177 — a 33% cut from its $1,800 list price.
For that money, Tom's Hardware reports you get a machine built around Nvidia's RTX 5060 Ti graphics card (the 8GB version), an Intel Core Ultra 7 265KF processor, 32GB of DDR5-6000 memory, a 1TB M.2 NVMe solid-state drive, and an ARGB case with the color-shifting lighting popular in gaming builds. The outlet called the deal a "no-brainer."
The appeal here is that these are all current-generation parts. The RTX 5060 Ti sits in the mainstream slice of Nvidia's latest GPU lineup, aimed at solid 1080p and 1440p gaming rather than 4K bragging rights, and the Core Ultra 7 is one of Intel's newer chips. Buying them bundled — and on sale — often beats sourcing each piece separately, especially once you factor in assembly.
Separately, Tom's Hardware also spotlighted a different discounted build whose "RAM Machine" case, the outlet joked, "probably costs more than the entire build." That system pairs an RTX 5060, a Core Ultra 5 CPU, and 32GB of faster DDR5-8200 memory — a reminder that Woot is running more than one PC promotion worth a look.
A couple of caveats worth keeping in mind: the 8GB of video memory on the RTX 5060 Ti is on the lean side for the most demanding modern games, and Woot deals are time-limited, so pricing and stock can change quickly.
Why it matters: gaming PCs have long carried a premium over building your own, so steep discounts on current-gen, fully-assembled systems are a rare chance for buyers to get in near component-level pricing.
