Take a fast eight-core CPU, bags of speed DDR5, and a great mid-range GPU, and you've got an awesome gaming PC. Make it less than $1,500 to buy and it'd almost be perfect. Wait a second...

The sweet spot price for a new, pre-built gaming PC is arguably $1,500. While you can easily spend less or more than this, the hardware that's available for this price is not only capable of blasting through most games around at the moment, but it'll also be perfectly fine for years to come. Finding one that's perfect at this price point is a bit tricky, though.

Well, not really, as this ABS Cyclone Ruby deal for $1,499.99 at Newegg amply proves. Normally we'd round that up, but I just wanted to highlight you're getting a great gaming PC for a solitary cent under our $1,500 bar. First, its CPU is one of AMD's fastest desktop gaming chips, the Ryzen 7 7700X. While it stands in the shadow of its cache-heavy cousin, the Ryzen 7 7800X3D, it's still extremely capable thanks to its eight cores and 16 threads running at up to 5.4 GHz.

Zen 4 Ryzen processors work best when paired with DDR5-6000 RAM and that's exactly what you get here. Specifically, two DIMMs of 16GB for 32GB in total, all running in dual-channel mode for optimum performance. You won't need anything faster or any more in terms of capacity for the lifespan of the PC.

All of that would be for nought if the GPU wasn't up to scratch, but the GeForce RTX 4070 Super in this Cyclone Ruby is the ideal match for that CPU and RAM. Nvidia's Ada Lovelace architecture is very power efficient and the RTX 4070 Super runs quiet and cool, all while offering great 1080p and 1440p gaming performance.

As with all of the RTX 40-series cards, it fully supports all the features in DLSS 3.5, so in games that support them, you'll be able to enable AI-powered upscaling, frame generation, and ray tracing denoising
