CyberPowerPC carries a small line of "instant ship" systems that can be assembled as soon as they are ordered. While not always in stock, this one (at the time of this writing) is.

It is a fairly modest configuration built around Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3060 graphics card. If we had the choice, we would have opted for the GeForce RTX 3060 Ti, but GPUs are a scarce commodity these days, and we often say "beggars can't be choosers. Overall, the card is very good for 1080p games, and runs reasonably well at 1440p. It can even handle 4K, though not always at 60 fps, depending on the game.

The RTX 3060 is paired with an Intel Core i5 10400F, a Comet Lake-based 6-core/12-thread CPU. It has a base clock of 2.9 GHz, a maximum turbo clock of 4.3 GHz, and a 12 MB L3 cache. being an "F" model, the onboard graphics are not functional, but since this build has an actual discrete GPU, this is not a major issue.

This configuration only comes with 8GB of DDR4-3000 memory and a 500GB NVMe SSD. If you buy this machine, we recommend upgrading the RAM to 16GB at some point and expanding the storage to 1TB if necessary.

Both must be done after the fact, as custom options are not available for these systems, which ship immediately. Fortunately, RAM and storage have become quite affordable recently and are relatively easy to upgrade.

Free 2-day delivery means it could arrive on Monday or sooner (actually 2 business day delivery, which seems to take an additional day to process). And if you are really impatient, you can pay $54 for 1-day delivery and it will arrive by Friday.
