Save $230 on a Ryzen Gaming PC with GeForce RTX 2070 Super

Now that you're stuck at home, you have more time to play games. That is, if your PC is up to the task. If not, SkyTech's Blaze II desktop is a steal.

Newegg has it on sale for $1,049.99, $230 below list price, with a Ryzen 5 3600 processor, GeForce RTX 2070 Super graphics card, 16GB of DDR4-3000 RAM, 500GB solid-state drive, 550W power supply (80+ Bronze certified).

As is often the case with ready-made configurations, you can also build your own for about the same amount of money. I estimated a similar DIY setup, but before taking into account the case, keyboard, and mouse, and including the cost of Windows 10, the price was about the same. If I were so inclined, I could probably scour the sales and get it a little cheaper.

Overall, this is a great deal for a pre-assembled gaming PC; the Ryzen 5 3600 is a 6-core/12-thread CPU that matches well with the GeForce RTX 2070 Super. This system should be able to comfortably play games at 1440p ultra resolution, and if you don't mind going below 60fps, the GPU is capable of 4K gaming as well.
