With these two gaming PC deals, you're getting one of the best gaming CPUs no matter whether you want a Team Red or Green GPU
Black Friday is well and truly on, even though it's not actually Friday yet. But that doesn't matter when there are some top-notch gaming PC deals to be had already.
And what I have here are two examples from Yeiyan, a US system builder. Both are powered by one the very best gaming CPUs around: AMD's Ryzen 7 7800X3D. Where they differ is the graphics card and you can either go all Team Red, with the Radeon-powered model, or mix things up a bit with a Team Green GPU.
Yeiyan Phoenix | Ryzen 7 7800X3D | RTX 4070 Ti Super | 32 GB DDR5-5600 | 1 TB SSD | $1,869.99 at Amazon
This isn't the cheapest RTX 4070 Ti Super gaming PC deal I've seen but those don't sport a Ryzen 7 7800X3D processor—the best gaming CPU bar its successor, the Ryzen 7 9800X3D. This rig will have plenty of poke for games and if you pop a second large SSD into it, you'll have an awesome machine for years to come.
The Ryzen 7 7800X3D doesn't seem like an amazing processor when you just look at its basic specs: eight cores, 16 threads, and a boost clock of 5.0 GHz. Nothing special but the magic is in the extra L3 cache that's bonded to the core chiplet. With a total of 96 MB of last-level cache, this processor just pushes way past anything else from AMD or Intel.
Naturally, you want to pair such a chip with a decent graphics card and in this case, you're getting a GeForce RTX 4070 Ti Super. Despite the somewhat clunky name, it's actually a really good GPU—just fractionally behind the RTX 4080 in most games—and it sports 16 GB of fast VRAM.
