Deal Overview
Buying a pre‑built PC is one of the best ways to overcome the current AI‑driven component shortage that’s squeezing supply and driving up prices. Right now you can get the Gigabyte Aorus Prime 5 Gaming Desktop—featuring an AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, RTX 5070 Ti, 32 GB DDR5, 2 TB SSD, and Windows 11—for just $2,199 at Newegg:
While the 9700X isn’t the absolute top‑tier gaming CPU, at this price point it’s more than adequate and pairs well with the headline RTX 5070 Ti.
