While it's true that the price of GPUs on the whole is still rather high, it's the RTX 4090 that has really seen its pricing shoot straight up into the stratosphere in recent months. A quick hunt through the listings reveals that a lot of examples are currently priced well north of the $2,000 mark, with some coming close to $3,000. That's a huge chunk of change for a single component, but above we've found two entire gaming PCs for not that much more money.
First up, let's take a look at the HP Omen 45L GT22-1190. Not a particularly memorable name we'll grant you, but this is an honest-to-goodness powerhouse of a system from a reputable manufacturer, and given it's currently available for just under $3,300 the pricing here is very much on point. It's not like HP skimped on the rest of the spec sheet to get it down to this sort of money either, as alongside that RTX 4090 comes a 4.7 GHz AMD Ryzen 9 7900X, 64GB of 5200 MHz DDR5 RAM and a 2TB WD Black PCIe 4.0 NVMe SSD.
That's the sort of spec that PC gaming dreams are made of, and it all comes wrapped in a clean black obelisk of a case design with plenty of room inside for airflow. Speaking of cooling, this system makes use of HPs Omen Cyro Chamber liquid-cooling unit, so it should run quiet and cool as it makes a mockery of the recommended requirements for all the latest games.
But can we go cheaper still? Well, if you're looking to spend a little less, how about this Skytech Eclipse for under $3,200? While Skytech might be a lesser known brand than HP, it's still a reputable system builder, and the specs here are also very difficult to argue with if you're looking for a top-end machine. You get that all-important RTX 4090, the same AMD Ryzen 9 7900X as above, 32GB of 5200 MHz DDR5 and a 1TB NVMe SSD.
While some of those figures might be a little lower than the HP above, this system is still going to give you phenomenal performance in your games, and all for not much more than the price of a high-end RTX 4090 on its own. It also comes with liquid-cooling, and while the all-white case might be a bit of an acquired taste the performance on offer here is indisputable.
While RTX 4090 prices look unlikely to decrease any time soon, these deals prove that those of you in the market for a whole new system can still find great discounts on a prebuilt machine with one nestled inside. Strange times indeed, but both these machines are well worth taking a look at if RTX 4090 goodness is what you desire.
