A frankly monstrous Prime Day PC 'deal' has made me very, very angry, so here are three far superior gaming PCs I'd buy in a flash

pcgamer.com:

Skytech Gaming Nebula | Core i5 13400F | RTX 4060 | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 1 TB SSD | $849.99$699.99 at Amazon (save $150)
This is a great price for a little 1080p gaming PC. It doesn't sport top-end hardware but at $700 you wouldn't expect it to. However, what is there is very good for the price and you're not going to be disappointed by the gaming performance.

iBuyPower Tracemesh | Core i7 14700F | RTX 4060 Ti | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,349.99 $1,099.99 at Amazon (save $250, exclusive to Prime members)
It's a little more expensive than other RTX 4060 Ti gaming PCs we've seen but you're getting 32 GB of speedy DDR5 and a Core i7 14700F processor here. Those alone more than justify the small increase in price. The hardware is well-balanced and should offer great performance for the money.

CyberPowerPC Gamer Supreme | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD | $1,999.99$1,699.99 at Amazon (save $300, exclusive to Prime members)
The 7800X3D is the best gaming CPU you can buy right now and paired with the RTX 4070 Ti Super, you've got an extremely fast gaming PC. There's plenty of DDR5 RAM and while a 2 TB SSD would have been nice, you'll have no problem adding another fast NVMe drive to add more storage.

While hunting for gaming PC deals in the Prime Day event this morning, I came across this monstrosity over at Walmart. At just under $580, you might be tempted to get this as a gift from someone who wants to get into PC gaming and let's be honest, it does look like a really cool machine. But looks are deceiving and this is one of the more egregious 'deals' I've seen so far.

First of all, the graphics card is an Nvidia GeForce GTX 1660 Super. This GPU is now five years old and while that might not sound particularly ancient, it's far less capable than an RTX 4060 or even an RTX 3060. At the time, it was fine for 1080p gaming and it's probably okay now in lots of games, but you really shouldn't be buying a new one for this kind of money.
