We're deep into Cyber Monday, and as new deals arise, older ones are riding off into the sunset. Our $650 build was a truly spectacular bargain for PC builders on a budget, but as we warned could happen at any second, the DDR5 reaper has swung its scythe on that one. The motherboard-plus-RAM combo deal that made it all possible has gone out of stock, and you can't even buy a 16GB kit of DDR5 to make it all work.

ABS Cyclone Aqua RTX 5060 gaming PC for $799 at Newegg

Happily, ABS's Cyclone Aqua is here to save the day. It's got a Core i5-14400F CPU with 10 cores (6P+4E), 32GB of DDR4-3200 memory, a 1TB SSD, and a GeForce RTX 5060 graphics card.

The RTX 5060 is the most important component for gaming performance in this build, and according to our recent data, it should deliver awesome 1080p gaming experiences along with DLSS 4 upscaling and MFG in games that offer it. Just be aware of the limitations of 8GB of VRAM.

All this is just $800 at Newegg right now, and you get a full Windows 11 license in the bargain that we don't usually include in our build lists. ABS wraps this PC up in a nice case with three big RGB LED fans and a matching heatsink.

Affordable gaming PCs are becoming an increasingly endangered species right now as the AI silicon apocalypse mounts, so whether you're pondering a DIY parts list or a prebuilt like this ABS Cyclone Aqua, don't wait, or you may find yourself empty-handed.
