CyberPowerPC RTX 5060 Ti Gaming Desktop Discounted to $1,249 at Walmart
Walmart is selling a CyberPowerPC gaming desktop with an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus processor and RTX 5060 Ti graphics for $1,249. The configuration includes 16GB of DDR5 memory, a 1TB SSD, and a 360mm liquid cooler. The article notes that it should outperform the Steam Machine and offers easier future upgrades.
Walmart’s listing prices the CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme at $1,249, down from $1,599.99. It pairs an Intel Core Ultra 7 270K Plus—24 cores, up to 5.5GHz—with an RTX 5060 Ti 8GB, 16GB DDR5, a 1TB NVMe SSD, and a 360mm liquid cooler.
The RTX 5060 Ti is positioned for 1080p and reportedly beats the RTX 4060 Ti by roughly 20%, with DLSS 4.5 widening that gap. Its 8GB VRAM may limit demanding 1440p titles. Compared with the $1,049 Steam Machine, the desktop is claimed to hold a 30%–40% performance edge and use standard parts for easier upgrades.
This discount may make capable 1080p gaming more accessible to budget-conscious players and families, while also nudging buyers to compare prebuilt PCs with compact console-like options. Easier upgrades could extend the machine’s useful life and reduce early replacement pressure for some households. Retail promotions like this may also influence how newcomers perceive value in PC gaming versus dedicated consoles, though actual effects depend on availability, user needs, and long-term pricing.
