Frequently Asked Questions
Can the Legion Tower 5i handle modern games at 1080p?
Yes, the GTX 1650 Super with 4GB GDDR6 paired with the i5-11400 handles most modern titles at 1080p with medium to high settings at playable frame rates.
Is the RAM upgradeable?
Yes, the Tower 5i uses DDR4 DIMM slots, so the 16GB can be expanded depending on the number of available slots on the motherboard.
Does this PC come with Wi-Fi built in?
Yes, it includes 802.11ax (Wi-Fi 6) and Bluetooth 5.2 built in, so no additional adapter is needed.
What display outputs are available?
The GTX 1650 Super provides 1 HDMI and 2 DisplayPort outputs, allowing multi-monitor setups.
Is a 400W power supply enough for this configuration?
The 400W supply is adequately matched to the i5-11400 and GTX 1650 Super combination, but it leaves limited headroom for upgrading to a significantly more power-hungry GPU later.
