Save $300 on a gaming PC with RTX 2060 graphics card.

Black Friday is a distant memory, gone like tears in the rain and dust in the wind, but the deals are still on, and at Newegg you can pick up a pre-assembled gaming PC with the dramatic name Skytech Archangel 3.0. If you want to play at 1080p, or 1440p depending on the game, this PC will happily oblige.

For $899.99, a $300 savings, you get a Ryzen 5 2600X processor, NVIDIA RTX 2060 graphics card, 16GB of DDR4 RAM, 500GB SSD, RGB lit fan (required, of course), Windows 10 Home, Wi-Fi Built-in. The case also has LED strips and a tempered glass window to complement the RGB fan, so you can see all the shiny new hardware spinning inside.

The RTX 2060 is on the lower end of NVIDIA's 20-series, but is still a high-quality GPU; it's perfect for 1080p gaming (or 1440p if the game in question isn't so demanding), the performance is great, and the price point is very low. We reviewed the RTX 2060 last year, and if you want a more in-depth analysis of its pros and cons, you can find it here.

Unfortunately, there are some drawbacks: the Archangel 3.0 is slightly lacking in the CPU department; it's not that the Ryzen 5 2600X is a bad chip, it's just getting a bit old. It is still possible to play graphics-intensive games at 1080p, but you may notice a bottleneck in games that draw quite a bit of performance from the CPU. However, upgrades can always be made.
