Overview

The Lenovo Legion Tower 5 anchors its performance case on two well-matched components: the AMD Ryzen 7 5700G and the GeForce GTX 1660 Super. The 5700G is an 8-core, 16-thread Zen 3 processor with a 3.8 GHz base and 4.6 GHz boost clock and 16MB L3 cache — it represents AMD's mature, driver-stable Zen 3 architecture at a mid-tower price point. The GTX 1660 Super brings 6GB of GDDR6 at 192 GB/s memory bandwidth, operating on a 192-bit bus — a configuration that sustains high frame rates at 1080p without the VRAM pressure that 4GB cards exhibit in texture-heavy modern titles. The 16GB DDR4 DIMM and 512GB + 2TB hybrid storage round out a platform tuned for 1080p gaming and daily productivity simultaneously. The 400W PSU is sized correctly for the current component load but leaves minimal headroom for future GPU upgrades.

This tower is built for the gamer or home office user who wants a single machine that handles both competitive gaming sessions and work-from-home productivity without compromise. The Ryzen 7 5700G's core count means streaming, video calls, and background tasks run alongside games without frame rate degradation — a meaningful advantage over quad-core configurations. The included Microsoft 365 Personal subscription reinforces the dual-use positioning. Where this system falls short is in forward-looking GPU capability: the GTX 1660 Super has no hardware ray tracing, and as titles increasingly require DXR, it will be the first component users look to replace. The tower chassis and accessible internals make that upgrade practical — the PSU caveat aside.

Pros & Cons

👍 Pros

  • Ryzen 7 5700G's 8 cores and 16 threads at up to 4.6 GHz handle gaming, streaming, and background tasks simultaneously without the CPU becoming the bottleneck.
  • GTX 1660 Super's 6GB GDDR6 at 192GB/s memory bandwidth sustains 60+ fps at 1080p High in the vast majority of current titles — a proven, driver-stable GPU generation.
  • 512GB PCIe NVMe SSD keeps OS boot times under 15 seconds and eliminates in-game asset loading stutter compared to pure HDD configurations.
  • Wi-Fi 6 (AX200) + Bluetooth 5.2 provide wireless connectivity without a separate adapter, and the AX200 is one of the most driver-stable Wi-Fi 6 chips available.
  • Microsoft 365 Personal (1-year) is included, adding genuine productivity software value to what is otherwise a gaming-focused SKU.

👎 Cons

  • The 400W power supply creates a hard ceiling on GPU upgrade paths — replacing the GTX 1660 Super with a 200W+ card requires a simultaneous PSU swap, adding cost and complexity.
  • 16GB DDR4 DIMM in a single-channel configuration (if shipped as one stick) would cut memory bandwidth roughly in half on Ryzen; buyers should verify whether the 16GB is one 16GB stick or two 8GB sticks running dual-channel.
  • The GTX 1660 Super lacks hardware ray tracing support — a limitation that matters for titles increasingly built around DXR, even at minimum RT settings.
  • Air cooling on the CPU (standard for the base Legion Tower 5) will be audible under sustained all-core Ryzen 7 5700G loads at 4.6 GHz; the tower is not silent under stress.
  • 3TB total storage splits awkwardly for large game libraries — the 2TB HDD is too slow for modern open-world titles, forcing active management of what lives on the 512GB SSD.

Frequently Asked Questions

Yes, but with a constraint. The 400W power supply is the limiting factor — it comfortably supports the GTX 1660 Super's 125W TDP, but upgrading to an RTX 3070 (220W) or higher would require replacing the PSU as well. The Legion Tower 5 chassis accommodates standard ATX PSUs, making that upgrade path viable but not plug-and-play.
Yes, the 5700G has Radeon Vega integrated graphics, but when a discrete GPU is present in the PCIe slot, the system defaults to the dedicated GTX 1660 Super for all display output. The iGPU is effectively unused in this configuration, though it could serve as a fallback if the discrete card is removed.
The Ryzen 7 5700G officially supports up to DDR4-3200. The listing specifies 16GB DDR4 DIMM — actual speed should be confirmed via system diagnostics, as some OEM configurations ship with DDR4-2666 or DDR4-3200. Running below 3200 MHz on Ryzen leaves measurable integrated and system performance on the table.
512GB NVMe handles the OS, a handful of large titles (modern AAA games run 50–100GB each), and applications. The 2TB HDD provides bulk storage for game libraries, media, and backups at roughly 100–120 MB/s sequential — adequate for cold storage but not for active game loading. Expect to manage which titles live on the SSD.
It includes Wi-Fi 6 (AX200) with Bluetooth 5.2, so no wired connection is required at setup. The AX200 supports 2.4 Gbps theoretical throughput on 5 GHz, which is more than sufficient for online gaming latency requirements.
