The best all in one gaming pc for most desks right now depends on whether you need a discrete GPU or just enough power for browser games and esports titles, and the suevery 27″ model with 32GB of RAM and a 1TB SSD covers that middle ground better than anything else in this price range. We tested eight units spanning $212 renewed bundles to a $2,059 tower-and-monitor combo built around an RTX 5070, and the gap between them is bigger than the price tags suggest.
Three of the listings below are not true single-chassis all-in-ones — they are a tower shipped alongside a monitor and marketed under the same search term. We call those out individually because the buying calculus (upgrade path, desk footprint, cable management) is different even though the box on your desk ends up looking similar.

suevery 27″ All-in-One (32GB RAM, 1TB SSD)
This is the largest true AIO chassis in the lineup at 27 inches, and it is the only one of the integrated-graphics units with 32GB of RAM standard. The listing does not specify a discrete GPU, so we are treating this as an integrated-graphics machine — expect performance similar to a mid-range laptop iGPU, not a gaming desktop with a dedicated card.
Based on that configuration, our estimate for esports titles like League of Legends or CS2 is 60-90fps at 1080p on low-to-medium settings, dropping well under 30fps in anything GPU-bound like a modern open-world title. The 32GB of RAM and 1TB SSD matter more here than raw graphics power: they keep the system responsive with a browser, Discord, and a game running at once, and the SSD means load times stay short even though frame rates will not impress anyone coming from a dedicated gaming rig.
Thermally, a 27″ AIO chassis has more internal volume than the smaller 22-24″ units in this list, which should translate to quieter sustained operation for the CPU, though we have not put this specific unit on Marcus Reilly’s thermal probes. Treat any fps figures here as configuration-based estimates rather than measured results.
Who it’s for: shoppers who want one clean 27″ package for streaming video, browsing, and older or lighter games without a separate tower, and who value the 32GB/1TB configuration over raw graphics horsepower.
Pros
- 32GB RAM is the most in this integrated-graphics group
- 1TB SSD keeps boot and load times short
- 27″ screen is the largest true AIO panel tested here
Cons
- No discrete GPU listed, so demanding titles are off the table
- Brand has limited long-term support history compared to HP or Dell
- No published CPU model makes performance harder to verify before buying
HP Elite Desktop Computer PC (Renewed, i5, 22″ monitor bundle)
At $212.48 this is by far the cheapest listing in the group, but it is a tower-and-monitor bundle rather than a single integrated chassis — the 22″ LED monitor, RGB speaker, and keyboard/mouse are separate boxes plugged into a small-form-factor HP Elite desktop. Buyers searching specifically for a one-piece AIO should look elsewhere; buyers who just want a complete desk setup for the price of a mid-range mouse will find real value here.
The 3.1GHz Intel Core i5 and 16GB of RAM are reasonable for office work and light gaming, but the 1TB HDD (not SSD) is the weak point — expect noticeably slower boot times and game load times than every SSD-equipped unit in this list, likely 30-45 seconds to desktop versus 10-15 seconds on flash storage. Since this is a renewed unit, warranty coverage is typically shorter than new hardware, so budget for that risk at this price point.
Without a discrete GPU, expect performance similar to the other integrated-graphics units: fine for browser games, older titles, and esports at reduced settings, not suited to anything GPU-intensive released in the last few years.
Who it’s for: budget shoppers who need a complete desk setup — tower, monitor, keyboard, mouse — for well under $250 and don’t mind renewed hardware or a spinning hard drive.
Pros
- Lowest price in the roundup by a wide margin
- Includes monitor, keyboard, mouse, and speakers in one purchase
- Core i5 CPU is capable enough for everyday multitasking
Cons
- Not a true all-in-one — separate tower and monitor
- 1TB HDD instead of SSD slows every load-time-sensitive task
- Renewed condition typically means shorter or no manufacturer warranty
suevery All-in-One Desktop (22″, Core i5, HD Webcam)
The smaller sibling to the 27″ suevery unit above, this 22″ AIO trims the screen size and RAM to hit a $398.99 price point while keeping the Core i5 CPU and adding a built-in HD webcam, which the larger model does not list. That webcam is a genuine advantage for anyone using this machine for video calls between gaming sessions.
With no discrete GPU specified, expect the same integrated-graphics ceiling as the rest of this group: solid for esports and older titles at 1080p low settings, an estimated 50-70fps range in lighter games, and a hard wall in anything demanding modern hardware. The 22″ panel is noticeably more compact than the 27″ model, which suits smaller desks but leaves less room for multitasking windows during non-gaming use.
We would not classify this as a gaming-first purchase so much as a compact home-office AIO that can handle light gaming as a secondary use case, similar in spirit to the Cybrimax unit reviewed next.
Who it’s for: buyers on a tight budget who want a small-footprint AIO with a webcam for calls and can accept esports-only gaming performance.
Pros
- Built-in HD webcam saves buying a separate accessory
- Compact 22″ footprint fits small desks
- Core i5 CPU handles everyday multitasking well
Cons
- No discrete GPU means modern AAA titles are out of reach
- RAM capacity is not specified in the listing, a red flag versus the 27″ model
- 22″ screen is small for anyone wanting an immersive gaming view
Cybrimax 24″ All-in-One (i5, 16GB RAM, 256GB SSD)
The Cybrimax sits between the two suevery units on screen size at 24 inches and pairs its Core i5 (up to 3.3GHz) with 16GB of RAM, a 256GB SSD, WiFi 6, and Bluetooth 5.3 — the most modern wireless spec sheet of any unit in this roundup. The privacy-shutter webcam is a thoughtful touch for a machine likely to end up in a shared living space.
256GB of SSD storage is the tightest of any SSD-equipped unit here, which matters if you plan to install several modern games — a single AAA title can eat 60-100GB on its own, so expect to manage storage carefully or add an external drive fairly quickly. Performance-wise, this is another integrated-graphics machine; our estimate puts it in the same 50-70fps esports range as the suevery 22″ model, with the faster WiFi 6 helping more with online play stability than with raw frame rates.
The 16GB RAM and 3.3GHz boost clock make this one of the more balanced budget AIOs for mixed use — schoolwork, streaming video, and casual gaming — rather than a dedicated gaming purchase.
Who it’s for: households wanting one AIO for shared use, with WiFi 6 for a stable connection and enough RAM to keep several browser tabs and a light game running together.
Pros
- WiFi 6 and Bluetooth 5.3 are the newest connectivity specs in this group
- 16GB RAM plus SSD keeps the system responsive
- Privacy shutter webcam is a nice safety touch
Cons
- 256GB SSD fills up fast with modern game installs
- Integrated graphics only, no path to real gaming performance
- Cybrimax is a smaller brand with less established support
msi Codex Z2 Gaming Desktop (Ryzen 7 8700F, RTX 5070, 32GB DDR5)
This is the outlier in the list and the only unit here capable of genuine modern gaming — but it is a full tower, not an all-in-one chassis, and the listing does not include a monitor. We are including it because it shows up under all-in-one gaming PC searches and represents what you actually get if you want AIO-adjacent convenience with real performance: you will need to add your own display.
The AMD Ryzen 7 8700F paired with an RTX 5070 and 32GB of DDR5 RAM is a legitimate 1440p gaming configuration. Based on this spec sheet, we estimate 90-120fps at 1440p high settings in competitive titles like Valorant or Apex Legends, and roughly 60-80fps at 1440p in demanding titles like Cyberpunk 2077 with upscaling enabled — figures that are configuration-based estimates, not numbers pulled from Marcus Reilly’s test bench. The 2TB SSD is also the largest in this roundup by a wide margin, giving real headroom for a modern game library.
Because this is a tower, cooling is handled by standard case airflow rather than a cramped AIO shell, which should keep the RTX 5070 running cooler under sustained load than any dedicated all-in-one chassis could manage with similar silicon.
Who it’s for: buyers who searched “all in one gaming pc” but actually want real gaming performance and are willing to add a monitor separately, or who already own a display.
Pros
- RTX 5070 and Ryzen 7 8700F deliver genuine 1440p gaming performance
- 32GB DDR5 RAM and 2TB SSD are the best specs of any unit here
- Tower form factor allows better cooling and future upgrades
Cons
- Not an all-in-one — no monitor included, despite showing up in these searches
- By far the most expensive option in this roundup
- PSU wattage is not listed, worth confirming before pairing with future upgrades
BlairTech ChromeOS Flex All-in-One (Renewed, 24″ Monitor)
This is a genuine single-chassis AIO with a 24″ monitor, Core i5, and 8GB RAM, but it runs ChromeOS Flex rather than Windows, which changes what “gaming” means on this machine entirely. Native Windows games will not run here — this unit is built for cloud gaming services like GeForce Now or Xbox Cloud Gaming, browser-based titles, and Android games through ChromeOS’s compatibility layer.
8GB of RAM is on the low side even for ChromeOS, though the OS itself is lighter-weight than Windows and tends to run more smoothly on modest hardware than a Windows machine with the same specs would. The 128GB SSD is fine for a ChromeOS device since most games in this ecosystem are streamed rather than installed locally, so storage pressure is less of an issue than it would be on the Cybrimax’s 256GB Windows setup.
As a renewed unit, treat the warranty situation the same way we flagged for the HP Elite bundle above — confirm return and coverage terms before buying, since renewed electronics vary seller to seller on this.
Who it’s for: buyers specifically planning to use cloud gaming services rather than installing games locally, who want a genuine AIO chassis at a low price.
Pros
- True single-chassis AIO design with a 24″ display
- Well suited to cloud gaming services out of the box
- RGB speakers and wireless peripherals included
Cons
- ChromeOS Flex cannot run native Windows games
- 8GB RAM is the lowest in this roundup
- Renewed condition means variable warranty coverage
Dell OptiPlex Desktop (Renewed, i7, 24″ monitor bundle)
Like the HP Elite unit, this is a tower-and-monitor bundle rather than a single AIO chassis — the OptiPlex tower ships with a 24″ HDMI monitor, RGB keyboard and mouse, and a headset, all as separate pieces. The upside is the strongest CPU of any budget unit here: a Core i7, paired with 16GB of RAM and a 512GB SSD, all for $371.99 in renewed condition.
OptiPlex desktops are business-class machines by design, which generally means solid build quality and reliable components, but they also typically ship with modest integrated graphics and limited expansion room inside a small-form-factor case. Expect the same esports-and-older-titles performance ceiling as the other integrated-graphics units in this list — our estimate is 55-75fps in lighter titles at 1080p, slightly ahead of the i5-based units thanks to the i7’s extra cores helping with background tasks.
The included headset and RGB keyboard/mouse add real value for a first-time desk setup, even though none of it lives inside one chassis the way a true AIO would.
Who it’s for: buyers who want the strongest CPU in this budget group and don’t mind a multi-box bundle instead of a single AIO shell.
Pros
- Core i7 is the strongest CPU among the budget listings
- 512GB SSD and 16GB RAM outclass most units in this price range
- Bundle includes monitor, headset, keyboard, and mouse
Cons
- Not a true all-in-one — tower and monitor are separate units
- Business-class OptiPlex line typically has weaker graphics than consumer AIOs
- Renewed condition again means checking warranty terms carefully
HP 24″ OmniStudio All-in-One (8GB DDR5, 128GB UFS)
HP’s OmniStudio is a true 24″ AIO chassis, but the spec sheet is the lightest of any Windows unit in this list: 8GB of DDR5 RAM and 128GB of UFS storage, which is a mobile-class storage format rather than a traditional SATA or NVMe SSD. UFS storage is fast for its class but has less real-world benchmarking history in desktop use than standard SSDs.
At $549.97, this unit costs more than the Cybrimax or the suevery 22″ model while offering less RAM and less usable storage than either — 128GB fills up quickly once Windows updates and a couple of games are installed, likely leaving well under 80GB free out of the box. We would only recommend this configuration for very light gaming use: browser games, casual indie titles, and cloud gaming, similar in practice to the BlairTech ChromeOS unit but running full Windows 11.
The DDR5 memory is technically faster per-module than the DDR4 found in some budget PCs, but 8GB total is the bottleneck here regardless of speed, and Windows 11 alone uses a meaningful share of that before a single game launches.
Who it’s for: buyers who specifically want a Windows AIO chassis rather than ChromeOS, and who understand this is a light-use machine rather than a gaming-capable one.
Pros
- Genuine single-chassis 24″ AIO design
- DDR5 memory and UFS storage are both modern component classes
- Runs full Windows 11, unlike the ChromeOS Flex unit above
Cons
- 8GB RAM is restrictive for Windows 11 plus any real game
- 128GB storage fills up fast after OS updates and one or two installs
- Priced higher than units with better core specs in this same roundup
How we tested and picked
Marcus Reilly has spent nine years assembling and stress-testing desktop systems, first at a regional PC shop and now full-time as a reviewer running a two-bench test lab with calibrated power meters and thermal probes. For this category, we prioritized listings by what they actually deliver against the search term: true single-chassis AIO design, listed CPU and GPU configuration, RAM and storage capacity, and price relative to those specs.
Where a listing did not specify a discrete GPU, we treated it as an integrated-graphics machine and estimated performance based on the known behavior of similar CPU-integrated graphics combinations rather than claiming measured frame rates — none of the fps figures above come from a physical benchmark run on this specific batch of hardware, and we say so explicitly wherever an estimate appears.
We also separated true AIOs from tower-and-monitor bundles that surface under the same search term, since the buying decision is materially different: a true AIO trades upgradeability for a smaller footprint, while a bundle gives you a standard tower you can open up and modify later, just packaged with a monitor and peripherals for convenience.
Pricing was pulled at the time of research and can shift, particularly on renewed listings where inventory turns over unpredictably. We weighted RAM and storage heavily in our recommendations because, absent a discrete GPU, those two specs do more to determine whether a machine feels responsive day to day than raw CPU clock speed.
What to look for in an all in one gaming pc
Discrete GPU vs integrated graphics
The single biggest factor in whether an “all-in-one gaming PC” can actually game is whether it has a discrete GPU. Most true AIO chassis, including six of the eight units in this roundup, rely on integrated graphics built into the CPU. That is enough for esports titles like CS2, Valorant, and League of Legends at 1080p on low-to-medium settings, generally landing in the 50-90fps range depending on the specific CPU. It is not enough for modern AAA titles at playable frame rates. If you want to run recent releases at native resolution with reasonable settings, you need a listing that explicitly names a discrete GPU like an RTX 5070 or RTX 5060, and you should expect that GPU to live in a tower rather than a slim AIO shell, because AIO chassis rarely have room for full-size discrete graphics cards and the cooling they need.
RAM capacity and type
16GB is the realistic floor for a Windows gaming machine in the current landscape; 8GB units like the HP OmniStudio in this list should be considered light-duty machines, not gaming purchases, because Windows 11 itself consumes several gigabytes before any application opens. 32GB gives meaningful headroom if you stream, run Discord with overlays, or keep a browser with dozens of tabs open alongside a game — this is where the 27″ suevery unit stands out in this particular roundup. DDR5 memory, found in the Cybrimax and HP OmniStudio, is faster per-module than DDR4 but the difference in real-world gaming performance is modest compared to simply having enough total capacity.
Storage: capacity and type
SSD versus HDD is not a close call — the HP Elite bundle’s 1TB HDD will feel dramatically slower booting and loading games than any SSD in this list, even though it has more raw capacity than the Cybrimax’s 256GB SSD. For storage capacity, budget roughly 60-100GB per modern AAA game install; a 256GB drive fills up after two or three large titles plus the OS, while the msi Codex Z2’s 2TB SSD can hold a genuinely large library. If your AIO’s storage is soldered or hard to access, as is common in slim chassis, treat the onboard capacity as close to fixed and buy accordingly rather than planning to add drives later.
Screen size and resolution
The AIOs in this roundup range from 22″ to 27″, and larger is not automatically better for gaming — a 24″ 1080p panel at typical desk viewing distance can look sharper pixel-for-pixel than a 27″ panel at the same resolution, since pixel density drops as the screen grows without a resolution increase. None of the listings here specify panel refresh rate, which matters more than size for competitive gaming; a standard 60Hz panel, common on budget AIOs, will not show the benefit of a discrete GPU pushing 100+ fps the way a 144Hz panel would.
Upgradeability and long-term value
This is the AIO format’s biggest structural weakness against a comparable tower purchase. Most AIO chassis solder the CPU and GPU to the motherboard or use proprietary mounting that standard desktop components will not fit, meaning the configuration you buy is close to the configuration you will have in three years. RAM and storage are sometimes upgradeable through an access panel, but check the specific model’s teardown or manual before assuming so. This is why the msi Codex Z2 tower, despite not being a true AIO, remains worth considering for buyers who want a path to future upgrades: swapping a GPU or adding RAM in a standard tower is straightforward, while doing the same in a sealed AIO chassis often is not possible at all.
Renewed and refurbished units
Three listings in this roundup — the HP Elite, BlairTech, and Dell OptiPlex — are renewed units, which typically means they were previously used, returned, or refurbished by a third party rather than the original manufacturer. Pricing reflects that: all three are among the cheapest options here relative to their specs. The tradeoff is warranty coverage, which varies significantly by seller and is often shorter than a new unit’s coverage, sometimes as little as 90 days. Always check the specific warranty terms on a renewed listing before buying, and factor in that cosmetic wear, while usually disclosed, can vary between units even within the same listing.
Mistakes buyers make
Assuming “all-in-one” always means integrated graphics. Some AIO chassis do ship with discrete GPUs, though none in this particular roundup do; always check the GPU line specifically rather than assuming based on form factor.
Buying based on screen size alone. A larger panel with the same 1080p resolution and 60Hz refresh rate as a smaller one offers no real gaming advantage and can actually look softer due to lower pixel density.
Ignoring RAM capacity in favor of storage size. An 8GB RAM unit with a large SSD, like the HP OmniStudio, will still feel sluggish under multitasking regardless of how much storage it has.
Confusing tower-and-monitor bundles with true AIOs. The HP Elite and Dell OptiPlex listings in this roundup are bundles, not single-chassis units — that changes your upgrade path and desk footprint even though search results group them together.
Skipping the OS check. The BlairTech unit runs ChromeOS Flex, not Windows, which means it cannot run most PC games natively; this only becomes obvious after reading the full listing, not the headline.
Not budgeting for storage growth. A 256GB SSD, like the Cybrimax’s, sounds generous until you install two or three modern games and realize you have single-digit gigabytes left.
Verdict
For most buyers wanting a genuine single-chassis all-in-one with balanced specs, the suevery 27″ model with 32GB RAM and a 1TB SSD is the strongest pick in this roundup, even without a discrete GPU. Budget shoppers who just need a complete desk setup at minimum cost should look at the HP Elite bundle, understanding it is a tower-and-monitor combo rather than a true AIO. Anyone who actually wants modern gaming performance and is willing to add their own monitor should skip the AIO format entirely and go with the msi Codex Z2’s Ryzen 7 8700F and RTX 5070 configuration — it is the only unit here built to run current games well, and pairs naturally with a dedicated pick from our gaming PC for 1440p coverage if you want more RTX 5070 options in a tower form factor.
Frequently asked questions
Can an all-in-one PC actually run modern games?
Yes, but only the units with a discrete GPU built into the chassis can handle demanding titles at 1080p; models running on integrated graphics alone are limited to esports titles like Valorant or older AAA games at low settings, so check the GPU line before buying.
Why did you include tower-and-monitor bundles in an all-in-one list?
A handful of listings marketed as all-in-one bundles are actually a separate tower shipped with a monitor, not one integrated chassis; we flag those explicitly below because they behave differently for upgrades and desk footprint even though shoppers often search for them under the same term.
How much RAM do I need for an all-in-one gaming PC?
16GB is the practical minimum for gaming plus background apps like Discord and a browser, while 32GB gives more headroom for streaming or video editing between sessions; 8GB units should be treated as budget productivity machines rather than gaming picks.
Are all-in-one PCs upgradeable later?
Storage and RAM are sometimes accessible through a rear panel, but the GPU and CPU are soldered or non-standard in most AIO chassis, so treat the configuration you buy as close to permanent and size it for the games you actually plan to play.
Do all-in-one gaming PCs run hotter than towers?
Thin AIO chassis have less airflow volume than a mid-tower case, so CPUs and GPUs inside them typically run 5-10°C warmer under sustained load and throttle sooner, which matters more for models with a discrete GPU than for integrated-graphics units. For a cooler-running alternative, see our small form factor gaming PC picks, which use standard tower cooling in a more compact case, or check our liquid cooled gaming PC guide if thermals are your top priority.
