Here's an RTX 3080 gaming PC on sale for what that GPU cost on its own last year
Since retailers have already begun their Memorial Day PC gaming deals(opens in new tab), we're getting on our coverage early to keep you up-to-date with the best prices. We sometimes find the best deals come and go early on, especially when it comes to gaming PCs, and that might be the case with this RTX 3080 gaming PC I've spotted over at Best Buy.
It's an Asus ROG branded gaming PC with an Nvidia GeForce RTX 3080 10GB(opens in new tab) and Intel Core i7 11700KF for $1,600 at Best Buy(opens in new tab).

An RTX 3080 would've easily set you back this much money alone just a few months back, and now you're getting the rest of the PC thrown in with it. Granted, an RTX 3080 10GB shouldn't cost anywhere near $1,000 or more, but that's today's GPU economy. The rest of this PC is admirable, anyways. The CPU is last-gen,
