Newegg has dropped the price of an RTX 4070 Ti-powered Skytech Azure gaming PC to $1,800. On top of having a decent GPU, it's also got a solid current-gen Intel processor, which we don't often need to see inside systems below $2,000.
The innards of this Skytech Azure show an Intel Core i5 13600K CPU with an RTX 4070 Ti GPU and 32GB of DDR5 RAM. It also has a 240mm AIO cooler, which should provide better overall thermals than your standard fan-powered CPU cooler.
This PC is a great choice if you're looking to play games reliably at 1440p at high settings or if you're feeling bold, even at 4K. Just make sure to take advantage of the RTX-40 series' DLSS 3.0 and Frame Generation technology to boost the frame rate in supported games.
Like other cheap gaming PC deals we've spotted, the only downside is the 1TB SSD storage. It's not cutting it anymore, especially when you factor in the number of major releases that don't fit on a 1TB SSD this year. At the very least, you'll need a 2TB SSD; thankfully, those are only getting cheaper and cheaper every week.
If you don't mind a last-gen CPU and a couple of extra fans, this Thermaltake View i467T R4 for $1,650 at Best Buy we spotted a few weeks ago is also a sweet deal. Oh, and it's got a nice white case, which I'm always a fan of.
There's also this ABS Vortex Aqua for $1,750 that's a current-gen Core i7 with half the RAM and lacks liquid cooling, so it'll be less quiet than the Skytech. But hey, options are always good.
