Best cheap gaming PC deals today

NXS gaming desktop | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 512 GB NVMe SSD | $470 $419 at Newegg (save $51)
You can game on this machine to a certain extent—the integrated Vega GPU on the Ryzen chip will certainly support 720p gaming at lower settings. But we're listing it here as a good base from which to add your own graphics card for a quick new gaming PC on a tight budget. The AMD CPU is a good six-core, 12-thread job, and the 16 GB RAM will run everything you need.

Ipason Gaming PC | AMD Ryzen 5 5600G | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB NVMe SSD | $599 $479 at Walmart (save $120)
This machine's integrated Vega GPU (seated inside the Ryzen 5 5600G APU) is no real replacement for a discrete graphics card, but it's capable of 720p low-settings gaming. And the rest of the build should serve as a great base to upgrade to a full gaming build with a graphics card down the line. This one's also offering a 1 TB SSD, which is unusual but welcome at this price point.

Ipason gaming desktop | Ryzen 5 5600 | Radeon RX 7600 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,399 $689.00 at Newegg (save $710 with free Newegg+ membership and code NEPLDWAZ292)
If you don't want to get busy with a screwdriver, Ipason has a budget offering with a built-in upgrade over its $489 5600G-sporting PC, this time with an RX 7600 GPU at its heart. That offers sometimes better than RTX 4060 gaming performance, and the full system comes with a solid back-up spec, too. The Ryzen 5 5600 might not be the latest and greatest but it's still very capable as a gaming CPU, and that 1 TB SSD gives you a decent amount of space for a few big games and all your files.

Yeyian Yumi  | Ryzen 5 5600X | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,199 $799.99 at Newegg (save $399.01)
The Yumi is a bit of a classic when it comes to gaming PC deals, as it's always there or thereabouts. At the moment this is the cheapest RTX 4060-based PC we've found, and comes with a supporting spec that is absolutely solid, even if it's not the latest and greatest. The combination of DDR4 RAM and a previous-gen Ryzen 5 might not be top-end, but this machine will still deliver great performance for under a grand.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Core i5 13400F | Nvidia RTX 4060 | 32 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $999.99 $849.99 at Newegg (save $150)
This ABS RTX 4060 build is slightly more expensive than the Yeyian one above, but it comes with an extra 32 GB RAM and a better CPU. If you can spare another $50, this build should offer you more longevity and productivity chops. The extra memory should also help in some games as 16 GB doesn't quite cut it for some titles at some settings today. 

NSX gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5600X | RTX 4060 Ti | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,149 $929 at Newegg (save $220)
This is about as cheap as you can get for an RTX 4060 Ti rig right now, this being a graphics card that's great for entry-level gaming thanks to 60+ fps capabilities in modern games plus ray tracing and DLSS chops. Unfortunately, you're getting a CPU that's a couple of generations old and just 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but that RAM is speedy for DDR4 and shouldn't hamper your gaming experience too much.

Yeyian Tanto gaming PC | Core i5 14400F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1399.99 $999.99 at Newegg (save $400)
This is another sub-$1,000 RTX 4060 Ti gaming PC, which is a great price for a rig with this entry-level/midrange graphics card. It's a great alternative to the above rig if you'd prefer an Intel rather than AMD build. Compared to the slightly cheaper Ipason build above, this one has faster DDR5 RAM and a newer processor with the Core i5 14400F. Just be aware that the "F" in the name means it lacks integrated graphics, so if your 4060 Ti ever goes kaput, you'll have no video-out.

Asus ROG Strix G15DS | Ryzen 5 7600X | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-4800 | 1 TB SSD | $1,099.99 $999 at Newegg (save $100.99)
This is yet another sub-$1,000 RTX 4060 Ti build, but this one has a CPU that's better for gaming than the ones above. Sure, the RAM isn't the fastest DDR5 on the market, but it'll still serve you better than DDR4 on the longevity and upgradeability fronts. Plus, you get a nicer case with this Asus ROG PC, too. 

Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599 $1,099 at Newegg (save $500)
RTX 4070 machines can vary in price and specification quite significantly, but here you're getting that great 1440p GPU (with even some 4K credentials thanks to DLSS 3), a nice and speedy Core i5 paired with some good DDR5 RAM, and a 1 TB SSD. For close to a thousand bucks, that's a really great selection of hardware that makes it a great gaming rig for more like budget prices.

ABS Cyclone Aqua | Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,399.99 $1,159.99 at Newegg (save $240)
The Core i5 13400F might be on the lower end of Intel's range, but don't be fooled: it's still an excellent gaming chip, and plenty fast. 32 GB of DDR5-6000 is great to see at this low price, alongside the venerable RTX 4070 (original flavor) that still delivers excellent mid-range performance. Cheap this system may be, but it's got all the right components in all the right places. It also comes with your choice of Star Wars Outlaws or Assassin's Creed Shadows to test out that beefy GPU. 

Skytech Blaze Mini | AMD Ryzen 7 5700 | RTX 4070 Super | 16GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $1,499.99 $1,199.99 at Newegg (save $300 with free Membership and NEPPDW3243 code at checkout)
This is the cheapest RTX 4070 Super build we could find, and below $1,200 it's a great deal for a high-end rig. Admittedly, we're dealing with bog-standard DDR4 RAM, here, and a slightly older CPU, but for pure gaming chops the RTX 4070 Super should carry this hardware along perfectly well. If you want longevity, however, it might be best to opt for the ABS above, despite the slightly worse graphics card.

Yeyian Tanto | Intel Core i5 13400F | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,289.99 at Newegg (save $310)
Yeyian has a stellar deal on an RTX 4070 Super machine here. We've seen slightly cheaper versions on sale, but this one at least does have proper DDR5 memory, making the motherboard at least nominally upgradeable to a more modern spec. It does make a bit of an odd combo with the Core i5 here, though for straightforward gaming performance it shouldn't prove any issue and deliver high frame rates.

ABS Stratos Aqua | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4070 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $1,899.99 $1,529.99 at Newegg (save $370)
This ABS build hits the sweet spot in high-end price-to-performance. The RTX 4070 Super is a solid graphics card that can handle pretty much anything you throw at it, and it's running alongside some fast RAM and a powerful CPU, here. 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM is particularly great at this price point, and the 20-core (8 P-Core) current-gen i7 rounds out the build nicely. A solid all-rounder with a very nice discount.

ABS Kaze Aqua | Core i7 14700KF | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,299.99 $1,849.99 at Newegg (save $450)
The RTX 4070 Ti Super is a very powerful GPU, especially when you match it up with a Core i7 14700KF and 32 GB of DDR5-6000 RAM. That makes for a machine with serious grunt, and something that'll power through demanding games with relative ease. Shame about only 1TB of storage, but cheap SSD deals can still be found to buy you a bit more breathing room.

Skytech King | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | Nvidia RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 1TB SSD | $2,199.99 $1,929.99 at Newegg (save $270)
The 7800X3D is quite simply the best gaming CPU we've tested, although it must be said it still gets beaten out as an all-rounder chip by some of Intel's offerings. Still, if high frame rates are your main concern, this beastly CPU in combination with an RTX 4070 Ti Super and 32 GB of DDR5 should scream through games with ease.

Cooler Master TD5 Pro | Core i7 14700KF | RX 7900 XTX| 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,299.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg (save $350)
The case might look a bit old-school from the front but it's what's inside that matters. Fortunately, it's all good, with a fast 20-core, 28-thread CPU, AMD's best gaming GPU with 24 GB of VRAM, plenty of fast DDR5 RAM, and a decent-sized SSD (though, you'll soon want to stick a larger drive in). The motherboard supports overclocking and all of the cooling stuff is Cooler Master's own gear, so you'll know it will be up to the job.

Yeyian Phoenix | Core i7 13700F | RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $2,499.99 $1,949.99 at Newegg (save $550)
This is the cheapest we've seen an RTX 4080 Super build going for a while, and it's surprisingly well-rounded outside the GPU department as well. In addition to its RTX 4080 Super's stellar high-end gaming chops, this PC's 32 GB speedy DDR5 RAM and a 'Raptor Lake' i7 CPU should make for a mighty capable productivity rig. Just bear in mind the CPU lacks integrated graphics and 1 TB isn't a whole load of storage these days, so you might want to slap in a new SSD.

Andromeda Insights Ultra | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 1 TB SSD | $2,149.99 at Newegg
This Andromeda Insights RTX 4080 Super build is everything a prospective gamer might want: the best gaming CPU, the best high-end graphics card besides the RTX 4090, and fast DDR5 RAM. This thing should demolish any game you throw at it. The only downside is its 1 TB space, but that isn't much of a downside and SSDs are easily upgradeable, at any rate.

ABS Eurus Aqua | Core i9 14900KF | Nvidia RTX 4080 Super | 32 GB DDDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD | $2,699.99 $2,299.99 at Newegg (save $400)
This ABS RTX 4080 Super build, like the Andromeda Insights one above, is everything a gamer might want. For the extra $150, however, you're getting an Intel Core i9 14900KF for some of the best productivity performance barring the latest high-end 9000-series chips. In other words, while the above build is probably a better choice just for gaming, if content creation or productivity work is a consideration, this ABS rig is probably the one to go for. Just ensure you install the latest microcode BIOS to prevent instability issues.

Skytech Azure | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | 2 TB SSD | $3,499.99 $2,999.99 at Newegg (save $500)
This is probably the cheapest RTX 4090 PC I can remember seeing. I mean, 'cheap' here is a relative term. It's still a huge amount of cash to spend on a gaming PC, but it gets you the best gaming CPU and the best graphics card in one powerful package. And that can't be bad, can it. With that, you get 32 GB of DDR5, 2 TB of fast storage, and a hoofing great 1 KW power supply. Oof. The 4080 Super build above is a bit better for pure value but, if you really need that 4090, this is a solid saving. 

ABS Kaze Aqua | Core i9 13900K | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-6000 | 2 TB SSD | $3,699.99 $2,999.99 at Newegg (save $700)
RTX 4090 machines are still hugely expensive, but we now have two systems retailing for less than $3K a piece. You might still have to pay a pretty penny, but what you're getting here is the fastest gaming GPU you can currently buy in conjunction with a mega-fast i9 13900K and a healthy dose of DDR5. 2 TB of storage, too, which should give you plenty of room for a load of games and files. Deciding between this one and the Skytech Azure probably comes down to whether you want a CPU purely for gaming or for productivity, too. And whether you mind having to install a microcode update to keep this i9 build stable.

ADMI Gaming PC| Core i5 12400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | £749.95 at Amazon
Yes, this six-core, 12-thread CPU is now two generations old but for the money, you really can't complain. Well, a bit more RAM would have been nice, but you're not going to get many gaming PCs with an RTX 4060 and a 12th Gen i5 for less than £800. The PSU is only rated to 500W, however, so if you're planning on using this as a base to upgrade in the future, you might need a better supply unit for a top-end GPU.

Scan gaming PC | Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 4060 Ti | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSD | £899.99 £869.99 at Scan (save £30)
RTX 4060 Ti builds can hit the sweet spot of entry-level price and mid-range performance, depending on the game in question, and this is certainly the case with this build from Scan. The CPU is a couple of generations old and you only get 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, but for well shy of £900 you can't go wrong with this rig, provided 1080p or 1440p gaming is your main focus, and not AAA 4K gaming or heavy productivity.

Scan Gamer RTX Gaming PC| Ryzen 5 5500 | RTX 4070 | 16 GB DDR4-3600 | 1 TB SSD | £1,029.98 £999.98 at Scan (save £30)
The six-core, 12-thread CPU may be last-gen, and not the fastest one that AMD ever made, but this is still a very good deal for a powerful RTX 4070 machine. It sports dual channel DDR4-3600, which is rare to see in a simple pre-built, and you get a 1 TB SSD to load up with games. 

Scan Performance| Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4070 Super | 16 GB DDR5-5200 | 1 TB SSD | £1,429.99 at Scan
The 7700X is a very speedy, if slightly hot running CPU, and here it gets a decent dose of DDR5 and an RTX 4070 Super to make friends with. That makes it an excellent upper mid-range machine at a good price with plenty of upgradeability, although I'd start off with sticking an extra 16 GB of RAM in when you get the chance.

Cyberpower Luxe | Core i9 12900KF | RTX 4080 Super | 1 TB SSD | 32 GB DDR5-5200 | £1,946.40 £1,862.40 at Amazon (save £84)
This Cyberpower Luxe comes equipped with the fantastic Core i9 12900KF, in combination with an RTX 4080 Super that can churn through frames in any game. You also get a very fancy corner window case to show off those RGB-lit fans, making this PC a stunning looker with a serious gaming grunt to match.

3XS Gamer RTX | Core i7 14700K | RTX 4090 | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 2 TB PCIe 4.0 SSD | £2,999.99 at Scan
You're probably thinking that this isn't much of a good deal but when RTX 4090 cards cost £2,000 on average, it looks a whole lot better. You're getting a very solid gaming CPU, the best gaming GPU, lots of speedy dual-channel RAM, and plenty of NVMe storage. This is about as fast a gaming machine as you can get your hands on, and even at £3,000, this is still a monster of a PC at a good price.
