Cyber Monday Gaming PC with Built-in AMD for $1,020

I like to build my own systems, but there are some gaming PC deals that tempt me. This is one of them: the Gamer Supreme with CyberPowerPC's Ryzen 7 3800X CPU and Radeon RX 5700 XT is on sale for $1,019.99 (a $180 savings) on Amazon for Cyber Monday.

Let me qualify this statement. When you factor in the cost of Windows 10 with the same specifications, this machine is more advantageous than a homebrew. The list does not include the exact make and model of most of the parts, but after accounting for unknowns (such as the motherboard) and before discounting the case, power supply, all-in-one liquid cooler, and included keyboard and mouse, the price came to about $1,100.

These parts could cost several hundred dollars more (low estimate). Also, according to user reviews, the power supply is an excellent EVGA 600W with 80 Plus Gold certification. So even with a valid Windows 10 license on hand, this is cheaper per part than building the exact same machine (unless there is a big sale on individual items).

Speaking of these parts, they are built around AMD B550 motherboards. This is one of the newest chipsets, and unless it comes with its own funkiness (one of the user reviews lists it as ASRock B550AM Gaming, which is an OEM model), you can put a Ryzen 5000 series CPU on this product and get the most It should be able to run on the best processors ever made.

The Ryzen 7 3800X is by no means inferior, so the need for it may not arise too often. 8-core/16-thread chip with a base clock of 3.9 GHz and boost clock up to 4.5 GHz. 16GB of DDR4 RAM and 1TB of NVMe SSD on board, complementing the very capable Radeon RX 5700 XT.
