Remember those people who paid $1,500 for an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti graphics card in the summer of 2021? Now you can get a 3060 Ti-based gaming PC with a decent Intel CPU, 16GB of RAM, and a 512GB SSD for $949 thanks to the Cyber Monday Gaming PC Sale (opens in a new tab) Newegg's Yeyian Katana X10 is a must Try it out.

Well, thanks to Cyber Monday, GPU prices have fallen off a cliff this year. By the way, the cheapest RTX 3060 Ti standalone card currently available on Black Friday is the MSI Ventus GeForce for $419.99. That means you are paying barely over $500 for the rest of this pre-built rig. Excellent.

(Earlier today, the Katana X10 was priced at $849, but unfortunately the discount code to make this price has expired. A reminder of how quickly things can change on Black Friday and Cyber Monday, but even without that code, this is a real bargain).

But what do we actually get besides the all-important Nvidia graphics? This Newegg supplied and shipped PC has an Intel Core i5 11400F CPU. It is several generations old. However, it benefits from the latest Rocket Lake core architecture and is only slightly behind the latest Raptor Lake chips in single-threaded performance per clock.

The 11400F also has a full six cores and peaks at 4.4 GHz. In short, there is enough CPU power to keep up with the RTX 3060 Ti graphics. Other features include 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM, a 500GB NVMe SSD, and a 650W 80+Gold power supply, all of which are connected to the B560 motherboard. Overall, the specs are fairly well balanced to deliver adequate frame rates at a very competitive price.

Additionally, it is built around the sleek looking Yeyian Blade case, with nifty tempered glass side panels and a number of RGB-enhanced fans. As such, it certainly does not look like a cheap spec.

The rear panel is not loaded with ports, and similarly, internal expansion is relatively limited. However, unless you want to run a RAID array alongside a high-end capture card, the Yeyian Katana X10 almost certainly covers your bases.
