Need a new desktop PC for family use, home or small office, or gaming? No problem – you’ve come to the right place! This guide profiles ten of the best PCs on the market, starting at under $500 and going all the way up to over $3,000. We’re positive you’ll find a system in this guide that will work for you!

The Best Deals on the Latest PCs, All Right Here!

For Spring 2025, there has potentially never been a better time to buy a pre-built PC, specifically because the prices on individual components are going up at retail, but OEMs are still able to keep prices down on full PCs. They also have a better shot at actually procuring the in-demand components that enthusiasts continue to scramble for at retail.

With that said, when it comes to pre-builts, sometimes it’s hard to know whether they are truly up to date, or they’ve just been sitting on the virtual shelves for a bit too long. That’s where TBG comes in! We know what’s worth buying today, so we list only the best PCs you can get for the money. They include four of the best  home office, small office, and professional PCs, along with six gaming systems at every pricepoint, starting at ultra-budget and going up to ultra-premium. One thing they all have in common is that they use the latest components available, so you won’t feel left behind before you even open the box! That means the best Intel and AMD CPUs, great Nvidia video cards, plenty of RAM, and fast solid-state drives.
