ABS Eurus Ruby | Ryzen 7 7700X | RTX 4080 Super | 32GB DDR5-6000 | 1TB SSD | $2,399$2,099 at Newegg (save $300)
Nvidia's new RTX 4080 Super might be a very small upgrade over the plain old 4080. But it's significantly cheaper and that's translating straight into this great desktop deal. For just over the $2K mark, you're getting that Super GPU, plus an AMD Ryzen 7 7700X CPU and 32GB of RAM. Only the 1TB SSD slightly disappoints, but that's an easy fix.

Given the low cost of storage these days, a 2TB drive would have been nice and a better fit with a decent sized games libraries, what with so many modern titles sucking up 100GB or more of storage space.
But also given the low cost of storage these days, that's an easy post-purchase fix should you desire to add another drive. As for further details, this is a full tower machine built into a spacious and mean looking case complete with a fully exposed side window view, four large fans and plenty of RGB.
There's also an 850W 80+ Gold PSU and Wi-Fi connectivity. The MSI B650-VC is a mid-range motherboard with decent connectivity and plenty of expansion. Mounted to it is a Thermaltake 240MM RGB AIO Liquid Cooler. So if CPU overclocking is
