White hardware often comes at a premium, but this crisp and clean RTX 5070 gaming PC won't break the bank at $1,400

As a lover of all things available in lilac, I understand the pull of a monochrome desktop. As such, those laser-focused on assembling an all-white gaming desktop definitely have my sympathies when it comes to securing monotone hardware at a reasonable price. Thankfully, I’ve spied a white, speedy gaming RTX 5070 PC that shouldn’t break the bank at just $1,400 from Newegg.

The Thermaltake LCGS NE i1470-V170S gaming desktop isn’t the most powerful PC on the porch, but the white case alone will surely turn heads. I can’t guarantee all the hardware guts inside will sport the same crisp, white colourway, but if you care to pop the hood, you will discover an Nvidia RTX 5070 GPU inside that’s just as lovely. Lovelier still is the fact that this machine has had $400 bucks lopped off the price in Newegg’s Memorial Day sale.

So, for $1,400, what else are you getting? Well, for a start, you’ll get a copy of 007 First Light bundled in if you snap this up sooner rather than later. If you’re still deliberating (or simply trying to come up with a pithy one-liner about this gaming PC’s price), let me get into all the other tech contained in that Thermaltake frame.

Handling all of the graphics duties is a GeForce RTX 5070, which is a bit of a forgotten card in Nvidia’s RTX 50-series lineup. While it doesn’t have as much VRAM as a 16 GB RTX 5060 Ti, it performs better, and you get the full DLSS 4.5 suite to boost frame rates even further.

Riding alongside the RTX 5070 is 16 GB of DDR5-6000 memory. Yes, 32 GB would be nice to have, but the memory supply crisis means this sharp-looking gaming PC would likely cost a fair bit more with all that RAM rattling around inside. Besides, Nick’s done the testing, and 16 GB of RAM is absolutely fine for PC gaming in 2026, just so long as you don’t go ham with running lots of apps at the same time.

However, there is only one stick of memory, and that will affect how some games run, compared to how they would if the PC had two 8 GB sticks in there.

The Intel Core i5 14400F is another cost-saving inclusion, but that doesn’t mean this CPU is any kind of slouch. You can sort of consider it a successor to the older Core i5 13400F, though the 14400F enjoys an extra 100 MHz on the P-core Max Turbo clock, plus 200 MHz on the E-core Max Turbo clock over its predecessor. It may be a budget option, but trust me when I say you are definitely getting bang for your buck with the 14400F.

On top of all that, you also get 1 TB of SSD storage. That’s the same capacity I have in my own rig. I find that amount of space has served me well for gaming, keeping several major releases alongside many fistfuls of smaller indie games close at hand, too. However, I do tend to keep most of my other important files, like photos and videos, on external storage media—one terabyte of space has its limits, after all.

As much as I love my own RTX 4070 Super gaming PC, $1,400 for a crisp and clean-looking RTX 5070 rig is a cracking deal. Even though the Thermaltake LCGS NE i1470-V170S doesn’t have the DRAM amount we’d all prefer to see, it will carry you through a number of years of gaming in style.
