The prices for RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards are likely to remain high for a while – driven by the AI boom. Our computers in this APU category offer especially beginners who need or want to buy a new gaming PC right now an exciting alternative option.
If you opt for a processor with integrated graphics, you can still buy a gaming PC in the price range under 1,000 euros in and achieve the results from our benchmark tests shown in these videos.

What matters to us in an affordable entry-level PC?
First and foremost, the low price under 1,000 euros is what attracts people to an entry-level device. However, we don’t want to deliver junk or disposable solutions to our customers. That’s why our entry-level PCs still meet our time-honored quality standards despite the reduced price range.
Other providers of pre-built PCs often use inferior cases and the cheapest power supplies in their entry-level models. They like to save on these components or avoid communicating it honestly. We rely on PC cases with good airflow, enough space for future upgrades, and an appealing look. We also install power supplies with sufficient headroom for higher loads.
An entry-level user will eventually develop further and may want to play more high-performance games or use more demanding applications in the future. Our entry-level computers are designed to have the potential for your future upgrade steps. Today’s beginner is usually tomorrow’s pro.
Note: Configure your PC according to the requirements table to ensure the stated performance.
What are the differences between an entry-level PC with iGPU and a PC without a graphics card?
We don’t only offer computers with integrated graphics as entry-level PCs. We also provide the option to buy a PC without a graphics card. That’s why we want to briefly explain the difference between these two offers here.
If you buy a PC without a graphics card, we usually match all other components to the graphics card you already own. This is typically done in a detailed call or chat with our support team. You have the option to send us your graphics card, and we will then install it properly in the case to deliver a fully functional system.
If the processor in an entry-level PC has an integrated graphics card, the system will run reliably for years in the configuration we ship. You don’t need to send us a graphics card you already own or install one yourself. However, we configure the case of our entry-level systems so that you can add a dedicated graphics card at any time. This is not a “must”, but a “can” for you.
Which processors with iGPU do we use in our entry-level PCs?
At the beginning of 2026, we mainly rely on Accelerated Processing Units (APUs) from AMD. These are a combination of CPU and GPU. More specifically, the following models are used:
- Ryzen 5 8500G
- Ryzen 5 8600G
- Ryzen 7 8700G
AMD Ryzen 5 8500G
The Ryzen 5 8500G is a 6-core/12-thread APU with a Radeon 740M iGPU (4 CUs). It combines Zen 4 and more efficient Zen 4c cores for good everyday and multimedia performance without a separate graphics card. It offers the lowest CPU and graphics performance of the three models and is well suited for office work, streaming, and light gaming.
AMD Ryzen 5 8600G
The Ryzen 5 8600G is also a 6-core/12-thread APU, but features a stronger Radeon 760M iGPU (8 CUs) and slightly higher clock speeds than the 8500G, resulting in noticeably better integrated graphics and overall performance. It is the most balanced choice of the trio for all-round use and light gaming systems without a dedicated GPU.
AMD Ryzen 7 8700G
The Ryzen 7 8700G is the top model with 8 cores/16 threads and a Radeon 780M iGPU (12 CUs), giving it the highest CPU and integrated graphics performance in the series. It is best suited for more demanding multimedia tasks and significantly stronger integrated graphics performance compared to the 8500G and 8600G.
If you are looking for other processors with integrated graphics or have questions about our entry-level models, feel free to contact our support team.
Frequently Asked Questions about Entry-Level PCs with iGPU
Despite the high prices for RAM, SSDs, and graphics cards, you can find PCs here under €1,500 – and sometimes even systems around €1,000.
For “light” games like League of Legends, Valorant, Minecraft, or CS2 it is usually sufficient – current AAA titles, however, only run with heavily reduced settings or not smoothly at all.
Very important! Since the iGPU shares system RAM, at least 16 GB in dual-channel mode (2×8 GB) is crucial to significantly improve graphics performance.
Significantly less than a gaming PC with a dedicated GPU. A typical entry-level PC with iGPU usually draws between 20–80 W in everyday use, making it quiet and energy-efficient. Read more about power consumption here.
Ideal for office work, school, university, streaming, home office, and casual gamers.
