As a PC builder it seems like your best bet these days is to start keeping an eye on Newegg's bundle deals if you're looking to put together a new gaming rig. Even then, it's not cheap or easy, or even more affordable than just buying a discounted prebuilt gaming PC.
But PC building is one of the best things about this hobby and I'll be damned if any AI-generated memory crisis is going to take that away from me. So I'm regularly playing around with the Newegg combo builder, and right now there's a decent AMD deal that nets you an Asus motherboard, a six-core Zen 4 CPU, and 16 GB DDR6-6000 for $546.98 at Newegg. And you even get a free 240 mm Cooler Master CPU cooler in the mix.
Just add in an RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB card—for just $389 at Walmart still—and you're getting more or less an entire gaming PC for $936. Okay, you still need a PSU, a case, and some storage, but what's an SSD between friends?

RTX 5060 Ti | 8 GB: $389
The 8 GB version of the new RTX 5060 Ti is a lot cheaper than the 16 GB one, and while the extra VRAM will be useful in the future, it's absolutely not worth paying $200+ more for it, despite the clear benefits. This is a great little GPU for the money.

Alternatively, you could just go for a full prebuilt gaming PC, such as this one from iBuyPower that Jacob highlighted last week that is still live and kicking today. It's another RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB machine, but comes with a 1 TB SSD and 32 GB of DDR5-5200 memory.
You could potentially build a system up with the Newegg combo that would get close to that, but if you did want a 1 TB SSD and 32 GB of memory in there then you are going to blast past the $1,400 price tag of the iBuyPower system.
Sadly, this is another nail in PC building from a value perspective, but I still maintain it's the best way to get to know your PC; getting elbow deep into its innards and bringing it to life.

This is about as cheap as you'll find a gaming PC that not only gives decent 1080p and 1440p gaming performance but also gives plenty of wiggle room in the general processing department. That's thanks not only to the Core i7 chip but also the 32 GB of DDR5 RAM, which offers plenty of peace of mind during this global memory shortage. Sadly, you're only getting the 8 GB version of the GPU, though.

The integrated graphics on this processor won't get you gaming at higher resolutions or higher settings in modern games, but it's a great way to get into some light 1080p gaming. This gaming PC mainly acts to get you up and running, and you can then upgrade with a (relatively low-power) discrete GPU down the line, though bear in mind if you want the latest and greatest specs, including processor and RAM, you'll have to upgrade the entire PC, motherboard, too. Also note that you won't be able to keep many games installed at the same time on that 500 GB drive. Key specs: Ryzen 5 5600GT | 16 GB DDR4-3200 | 512 GB SSD

You're making quite a lot of sacrifices here to keep the price tag well under $1,000—namely a pretty lacklustre CPU and only 16 GB of previous-gen RAM. But you are getting an RTX 5060 machine for a very reasonable price in today's market. That means decent, discrete graphics for 1080p and even some lighter 1440p gaming.

This is a decent little rig for $1,000, primarily thanks to that CPU-GPU combo. For 2026 prices, you're getting some decent 1080p gaming performance for a reasonable price tag. Just bear in mind that you're only getting 16 GB of DDR4 RAM, and upgrading to DDR5 in future (presumably when the memory shortage eventually ends) will require a platform upgrade, too.

If you're on a budget of around $1,000, this is where it's at right now. That's because you're not just getting the RTX 5060, but also a decent Core i5 CPU and 32 GB of RAM. It's not DDR5, but even 32 GB of DDR4 is rare these days thanks to the memory shortage, so this is a great all-round deal. Use promo code ABSIGD20 for the full discount.

The main reason to opt for this rig is that in addition to the RTX 5060 Ti, it's also rockin' a 250KF Plus. We love the non-F version (which is the same but has integrated graphics) as it's a genuinely great current-gen processor. The only real downside here is it looks like that 16 GB of RAM is a single stick. Welcome to 2026 and the memory shortage, I guess.

If you're looking for a budget PC, this one is a good shout if you're looking for something for more than just gaming. The Ryzen 7 here is a great mid-range processor that beats many others in its price bracket, and you're getting DDR5 RAM which means the AM5 platform will have some longevity to it. Just note it is only a single stick of DDR5 you're getting. Key specs: Ryzen 7 9700F | RTX 5060 Ti 8 GB | 16 GB DDR5 | 1 TB SSD

The headline here is obviously that you're getting an RTX 5070 in a very reasonably priced rig given the 2026 market. The caveat is that CPU is not a full-fledged desktop one, rather a repurposed power-limited and low-cache chip. It's socket AM5, though, so swapping to a decent Ryzen chip should work wonders.

We're in the time of compromises, it seems, because this might offer some serious gaming grunt for the cost, but it also skims pretty significantly on memory. 16 GB of DDR4-3200 isn't great all-round, but purely for gaming it should be fine.
