If you were anticipating a significant discount on RAM for Black Friday, you might need a reality check. Depending on the RAM model you’re seeking, purchasing one now could be too expensive to rationalize, a trend my colleague Sean Hollister recently highlighted. You can choose to endure this phase of price surges, or if you’re new to PCs and wish to enjoy gaming at 1080p, take advantage of a good deal on a prebuilt gaming setup that boasts solid specifications for the cost.
The manufacturer iBuyPower offers several machines at reduced prices, including its Element SE, which is available for $999 ($300 off) at Walmart. This PC is equipped with AMD’s Ryzen 7 8700F processor, Nvidia’s mid-tier RTX 5060 Ti (8GB) GPU, a 1TB SSD, and 32GB of high-speed DDR5 running at 5,200MHz — all housed in a sleek tri-panel tempered glass chassis. Here are the complete specifications, as provided on iBuyPower’s website.
Should you be comfortable with downgrading to the RTX 5060, reducing the RAM by half, and replacing the AMD processor with the similarly capable Intel Core i5 14400F, Best Buy currently has the Element SE version on sale for a record low of $779.99 ($260 off). It comes in the same enclosure, along with the identical 600W 80 Plus Gold power supply as well.
