It's tough times for PC enthusiasts, with some individual component prices having risen to astronomical highs. While we sit here waiting for the AI bubble to burst and pray the prices of our favorite PC parts come back down to more affordable prices, the alternative option for a new PC is to go the prebuilt route. Spotted at Walmart with a $500 discount is the Gigabyte Aorus Prime 5 desktop gaming PC, now listed at only $1,999, the cheapest we've seen this particular model. It's a good price for a gaming rig that includes a 16GB Nvidia RTX 5070 Ti graphics card, AMD Ryzen 7 9700X processor, 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and a 2TB SSD for storage.

When we compare the prebuilt to some of the prices of individual components, we can see more of the value of this Gigabyte Aorus deal. The RTX 5070 Ti GPU alone in this build cannot be found for less than $979 right now, accounting for almost half of the price of this desktop. 32GB of DDR5 RAM is also priced at $385 in the current market, and the 2TB SSD is worth at least $200. That's over $1,500 worth of parts before you've factored in the case, liquid cooling, motherboard, Windows 11, and the AMD Ryzen 7 9700X, worth $304.
