As for the Black Friday gaming PC with Nvidia's GeForce RTX 3080 graphics card (opens in new tab), we would not necessarily waste your budget at this time, as the RTX 40 series (opens in new tab) has just been released. While we do not recommend that you do so, there is no denying that this product is very attractive.

The combination of great core components actually tweaks my wallet more than Skytech Shiva's $1,700. Especially since Amazon is offering the option to save another $100 with a random little coupon button (I still don't understand the psychology of this, but hey, Amazon does it)

. This CPU is AMD's Ryzen 5 5600X (open in new tab) and is a Zen 3 processor. This processor may be the most inferior processor in the Zen 3 family, but it delivers its performance in the most important situation: gaming.

Combine this with 16GB of DDR4-3200 RAM and you'll have plenty of room for productivity tasks. Pack a 1TB NVMe SSD in there and it's even more attractive. Another big plus is the "no bloatware" in the description. That's because no one wants to shovel out a bunch of unnecessary apps in order to play games. It also appears to come with a free gaming keyboard and mouse, but we suggest checking out the Black Friday Gaming Mouse and Keyboard Deals (opens in new tab).

That said, the brand of NVMe SSD is not mentioned, so it may not be the Speedster you are looking for. Still, this SSD remains a very good value.

Looking at the price history, Skytech Shiva has been selling at this price most of this month, and frankly, we're surprised it hasn't sold out yet. Frankly, I'm surprised it hasn't sold out yet. It's never been this cheap, and it won't be this low again for a while.
