Yes — the refurbished i5-12400F / RTX 2080 Super is a strong pick for 1080p Ultra gaming with genuine 1440p headroom, and it's the only refurbished PC in GamerTech's lineup with WiFi and Bluetooth built in. Its biggest advantage is not needing a wired Ethernet connection or a separate WiFi adapter. It's priced at $1,149.99 CAD.

Specs verified against the live product listing on gamertech.ca, 2026-07-17.
The i5-12400F is a modern (Alder Lake) 6-core Intel CPU — newer than most of GamerTech's other refurbished builds, and more than capable of keeping up with the RTX 2080 Super. The RTX 2080 Super is a second-generation ray-tracing GPU with 8GB of GDDR6, meaningfully faster than the RTX 2060 used in GamerTech's cheaper refurb builds, and enough VRAM for 1440p textures. 16GB of RAM (single stick) is adequate for gaming, though running in single-channel mode is a minor performance ceiling versus a dual-channel kit. The single biggest real-world limitation is the 1TB SATA SSD — spacious, but noticeably slower to load large open-world games than the NVMe drives used in GamerTech's newer builds. The Gigabyte B660 board's built-in WiFi 5 and Bluetooth is the standout convenience feature here: none of GamerTech's other refurbished units include wireless out of the box.
Real-World Use Cases
- 1080p Ultra gaming in current AAA titles with ray tracing and DLSS enabled
- Entry 1440p gaming at high settings in most titles
- Wireless setups — desks without an Ethernet run nearby
- Not recommended for high-refresh competitive 1440p or any 4K gaming
Performance Expectations
NVIDIA and Intel's published specifications confirm the RTX 2080 Super's 8GB GDDR6 and ray-tracing capability, and the i5-12400F's 6-core/12-thread configuration (manufacturer spec). GamerTech has not yet published internal frame-rate testing for this exact unit. As a general expectation, 1080p Ultra should run smoothly in current titles, and 1440p should be comfortable at high (not necessarily ultra) settings — a general expectation, not a measured result.
Why This PC Offers Good Value
At $1,149.99 CAD, this is the only refurbished GamerTech build with on-board wireless connectivity, alongside a genuinely capable second-generation ray-tracing GPU. The value case rests on bench-testing, the included 1-year warranty, and Windows 11 Pro pre-activated — GamerTech has not published a dated, sourced comparison against specific competitor listings.
How It Compares
| This PC | i7-8700K/RTX 2060 (less) | i5-10600K/RTX 3070 (more) | Ryzen 5 5500/RTX 5060 Ti (new) | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Price | $1,149.99 | $849.99 | $1,499.99 | $1,999.99 |
| GPU | RTX 2080 Super, 8GB | RTX 2060, 6GB | RTX 3070, 8GB | RTX 5060 Ti, 16GB |
| WiFi | Yes, built-in | No | No | Yes, built-in |
| Best for | 1080p Ultra + entry 1440p, wireless | Budget 1080p | 1440p Ultra, wired only | 1080p Ultra + capable 1440p, new hardware |
Buyers on a tighter budget who don't need WiFi should consider the RTX 2060 build instead. Buyers wanting stronger 1440p performance and comfortable with a wired-only setup should look at the RTX 3070 refurb. Buyers wanting new (not refurbished) hardware with a full parts-and-labour warranty should consider the Ryzen 5 5500 / RTX 5060 Ti build.
Advantages & Disadvantages
- Built-in WiFi 5 + Bluetooth — unique among GamerTech's refurb lineup
- Modern Alder Lake CPU platform
- 8GB GDDR6 with real 1440p headroom
- Bench-tested, 1-year warranty
- 1TB SATA SSD, not NVMe — slower load times than newer builds
- Single-channel 16GB RAM (1×16GB) rather than a dual-channel kit
- Not built for high-refresh 1440p or 4K
- Refurbished — cosmetic wear is possible even on a bench-tested unit
Who Should Buy It?
Buyers who want 1080p Ultra or entry 1440p gaming and need WiFi because running Ethernet to their setup isn't practical.
Who Should Not Buy It?
Buyers chasing high-refresh 1440p or 4K performance should look at the RTX 3070 refurb or a new-build RTX 5070/5080 tier system instead.
Frequently Asked Questions
Does this PC really have WiFi built in?
Yes — the Gigabyte B660 DS3H AC motherboard has WiFi 5 and Bluetooth on-board, no adapter needed.
Is the RTX 2080 Super good for 1440p?

Does Windows come installed?
Yes, Windows 11 Pro comes pre-installed and activated.
What's covered under warranty?
GamerTech's page states a 1-year warranty on this refurbished unit — confirm parts vs. labour-only coverage before purchase.

For buyers who want 1080p Ultra and entry-level 1440p gaming with wireless connectivity built in, the refurbished i5-12400F / RTX 2080 Super at $1,149.99 CAD fills a gap none of GamerTech's other refurbished builds cover — its main compromise is a SATA rather than NVMe boot drive.
