The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 Gen 10 gaming PC is equipped with an Intel Core Ultra 5 255F processor, GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR5-5600MHz RAM, and a 1TB M.2 SSD. The Intel Core Ultra 5 255F CPU has a max turbo frequency of 4.9GHz and 10 cores. It’s cooled by an 80mm tower heatsink and fan combo that’s rated for up to 65W. This is a solid general purpose processor and a great economical choice for gaming, since most games can’t utilize the extra cores on a Core Ultra 7 or 9 CPU. It also consumes less power, so it doesn’t need an elaborate cooling solution.

A total of three 120mm RGB fans and a sensibly designed 30L midtower chassis keeps your components quiet and cool. A 500W 80PLUS Gold power supply provides plenty of power. The case offers toolless entry and most of the components are non-proprietary, so they are easy to swap out or upgrade yourself down the road.

The GeForce RTX 5060 GPU is a great choice for 1080p

Compared to the previous generation GPUs, the RTX 5060 performs about 15% better than the RTX 4060. It will run pretty much any game in 1080p at framerates of up to 60fps, although some games might require some settings adjustments. 1440p is a viable option too, although you will see an improvement bumping up to a 5060 Ti at that point. Like all Blackwell GPUs, the RTX 5060 supports DLSS 4 with multi-frame generation, and the performance improvement over the 4060 will be bigger with games that support it, like Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Doom: The Dark Ages.
