Everyone is more than aware of the rise in prices of everything, especially anything using RAM or storage. Just take a look at the cost of the recently released Steam Machine as a prime example of the tragic near-future of home computing for the masses. It's all a bit doom and gloom, and some people may try to choose to wait it out in the hopes that things may get cheaper in a few years, but there's no guarantee that's going to happen. Rather than building your own PC, it's now cheaper to purchase prebuilt gaming rigs, with some companies still offering discounts in the current economy. This Cyberpower GML 99653 gaming PC is just $2744.55, after receiving a $544 discount. Packed inside are some of the most powerful currently available PC hardware components for pure gaming.

The 9800X3D is one of the absolute best CPUs for pure gaming, especially at 1080p, where the large 3D V-cache helps the processor to output incredible frame rates. For multi-threaded performance, something like the Intel Core Ultra 270K Plus would be a far superior option, but if you are only concerned with pure gaming, then the 9800X3D is the CPU for you. See our CPU benchmarks below for an idea of relative performance between processors.
