Don't be fooled by the Numbers the processor has 10 cores and the GPU has 12 GB of ddr6. This is a really great computer for the cost and runs 1080 or 1440p games wonderfully. You can go with bigger numbers and fancy lights and bits if you want but this one is a great deal I recommend it.

I picked this up a couple of days ago as a reward to myself for completing the requirements for my bachelor's degree. I struggled picking out a PC because I wanted a prebuilt, but had no clue what I wanted. I decided to purchase this one on a whim, and I'm very satisfied with it. The first game I opened was AC Odyssey, and it ran so smoothly. It also looks really great on my widescreen monitor.
The only complaint I do have is trying to get the RGB lighting within the tower itself working. At first, Lenovo Vantage did not have the lighting option for me and I thought I'd received a broken model, but that wasn't the case. For anyone with this issue, uninstall LV and then reinstall it from the Microsoft store. Worked like a charm, and now I'm smooth sailing.
Best Buy also had everything ready for me less than 2 hours from purchase. Brought it home, quickly set it up, and now I know how I'll be spending all of winter break. Couldn't be happier.

Runs great out of the box. Upgraded the ram and added an m.2 ssd 1tb to it. Added to an already great pc. Will easily be upgradable as new tech comes out.

Got on sale for the current $850. For it being the latest i5 tower and that low a price. It was 100% worth the price, even more so now if you can find it on sale. This PC is able to run most games without issue. Even in the more hardware straining games, it runs awesome. You’re able to change the patterns and colors of the LEDs. It also came with 1 year of mcafee. Definitely a great starter PC

Always wanted to upgrade to PC for gaming and was worried about getting one that can’t handle what I want. The storage is capped at 500gb but it’s upgradable. It’s fast, never had any issues, I’m able to overclock GPU and run max graphic settings on warzone/fortnite and was able to maintain 200+ ping without overheating. Tons of settings like fan speeds, lighting, safety scans, etc.

Awesome computer, I use it for my graphic design home business and the performance is stellar! It has superior graphics and it is fast! Perfect for what I am using it for, replaced a newer HP that pooped out on me after only a year. Someone told me gaming computers are better for my graphic designs, glad I listened!

I could not have built a better pc for the price at the time. I had looked all over pcpartspicker and wasnt able to get these specs without going over the $850 price point it had on black Friday. I don’t regret a single thing, it’s been awesome.

My first gaming pc, and I love it! This PC out of the box is powerful enough to play most games. However, I did upgrade the ram to 32gb and also added a 2tb SATA SSD, which is super easy to with this PC. 512gb storage is just not enough to with how big games are.

Lenovo Legion Tower 5i is a great mid-level gaming rig. If you're looking at something that can handle games at 1080P and potentially 4K with low frame rates, this gaming desktop is for you. All benchmarks tests are above 100% and were using default settings, no overclocking yet. Using UserBenchmark, the results can be seen using the following /UserRun/61782524

Got this on its Black Friday sale for $800. I cannot express how impressed I am with this PC. Most games on maxed out settings are still getting 100fps+
Only comes with 500gb space though, you’ll need to upgrade that if you’re planning on having quite a few games installed, especially the bigger titles.

I did buy this computer during the black friday sale for around $800. So far no complaints other than the ammount of storage it comes with. Games are getting big and you can probably only install 2-3 big named games before your storage is full. This isnt too big of a problem since you can easily add anothet ssd when or if you need it.
