Not sure we'll see a better high-end gaming PC deal than this iBuyPower rig

Prime Day hasn't officially started, but a $1,749 iBuyPower rig at Walmart already stands out as a strong high-end gaming PC offer. The build combines AMD's top GPU with what is currently considered the best CPU for gaming, making it an attractive option heading into the sales.

Inside is the AMD RX 9070 XT, a top-end card that delivers raster performance similar to the RTX 5070 Ti. That means it handles 1440p comfortably and can reach playable results at 4K in many titles. Being an AMD GPU, it lacks widespread support for the newest upscaling and frame-gen tech, though most games support some form of FSR.

The processor is the Ryzen 7 9800X3D, notable for its vertically stacked cache and Zen 5 architecture, which help drive excellent gaming performance. The system also includes 32 GB of RAM—a welcome amount given recent memory shortages—while storage is limited to 1 TB.
