Skytech Eclipse Lite | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RX 7800 XT | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,599.99 $1,499.99 at Amazon (save $100)
Skytech has some great offerings around the $1,400 — $1,700 price point. Unfortunately, its RTX 4070 Super build is sold out, but this RX 7800 XT one is cracking value. The AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT performs slightly worse than the RTX 4070 Super but has more VRAM for longevity and compatibility with more VRAM-intensive titles. Combine this with 32 GB of snappy DDR5 RAM and the best CPU for gaming currently on the market, and this Skytech Eclipse Lite build is a wonderful deal.
With all the problems facing Intel's 13th and 14th gen CPUs right now, we can't blame anyone looking to AMD for their next gaming PC build. An abundance of caution doesn't have to mean a second-rate experience, either, as this Skytech Eclipse Lite build shows.

Why might you want to go full AMD for your gaming PC build? Well, apart from current concerns about Intel CPU stability issues, the AMD Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor in this rig is still the absolute best CPU for gaming. And the AMD Radeon RX 7800 XT is, in our opinion, the best mid-range graphics card on the market right now, although the RX 7900 GRE is a close competitor.
Chuck these two components into a gaming PC like this one, and you have a very solid all-rounder for $1,500 at Amazon. Its 32 GB, 5600 MT/s DDR5 RAM is more than enough capacity and speed for modern-day gaming, and its 1 TB SSD should be enough to get you started with a fair few Steam game downloads.
For the price, a PC like this one is what I'd personally be buying today if I was in the market for one. It'd be a tough call between this or an RTX 4070 Super build, but for a cheaper price tag, the RX 7800 XT has more VRAM (16 GB of it, vs the 4070
