Yeyian Katana X10 | Core i5 11400F | Nvidia RTX 3060 Ti | 16GB RAM | 500GB SSD | $1,399$949.99 at Newegg (save $450)(opens in new tab)This is a great deal for a mid-tier gaming PC, especially when many rigs around this price are delivering you an RTX 3060. The Core i5 is still a really solid CPU today, and RTX 3060 Ti is probably the best mainstream GPU of Nvidia's last generation of cards. You also get a full 16GB RAM and a 500GB NVMe SSD… which you'll probably want to give a little more storage down the line.
Nvidia's RTX 3060 Ti(opens in new tab) was one of the best graphics cards of its generation. Not necessarily the fastest, but it delivered excellent bang for buck at its original price.

But in a full gaming PC for less than a grand? Yeah, we'll bite.
We've covered this Yeyjian Katana X10 gaming PC late last year, when its price was around the $1,100 mark. Back then that was a decent price, now it's well below the $1,000 price point it's even better.
Stating the bleedin' obvious, that's what I do, but an RTX 3060 Ti gaming PC for $949 at Newegg(opens in new tab) is pretty good.
There's no artifice to this machine, it's just a gaming PC built from regular parts and sporting a decent six-core, 12-thread Intel processor to keep its RTX 3060 Ti GPU fed with data. It's not the latest hybrid 12th Gen style of chip, but in the mid-range of Intel's stack the Core i5 11400F is still a CPU that will function well at the heart of a dedicated gaming PC.
The RTX 3060 Ti will deliver excellent high-end 1080p gaming performance, as well as decent 1440p
