a screen shot of a computer

Amazon is now offering the Skytech Chronos i7/32GB/1TB/RTX 3080 Gaming Desktop on sale for $1,839.99 shipped. Typically $2,300, today’s deal delivers a full 20% in savings, which is pretty rare for a desktop like this. In addition to that, it marks a new all-time low that we’ve tracked for Skytech’s Chronos desktop here, though we did see a similar system sell for $1,800 back in March with 16GB of RAM instead of 32GB. While I’ve been building PCs most of my life, not everyone has the same experience. If you’ve never assembled a computer from scratch, but want to get into the PC gaming space, then this deal is perfect for you. Shipping with Intel’s i7-12700K processor, you’ll find a pre-installed cooler here that should give you enough cooling potential to do a little overclocking if that’s something you’re interested in. There’s also an RTX 3080 graphics card, which is more than powerful enough to play even the latest AAA games at 1440p, pushing 120 FPS at ultra settings in many titles. Plus, while most systems ship with only 16GB of RAM, this one has 32GB of DDR5, ensuring that you have more than enough for gaming and creative applications without having to upgrade. There’s also a pre-installed 1TB NVMe SSD here which provides ample storage for games, documents, and more as well as the option to replace with a larger capacity drive in the future should you run out of room.

Buy now From $180

We first reported about PCIe 5.0 SSDs way back in January of 2022. Now, we’re finally starting to see some hit the market. While MSI, CORSAIR, and GIGABYTE have all already released their PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSDs, so far, they’ve been topping out at only around 10,000MB/s. Yes, we say “only” here because Crucial is taking things up a notch with the launch of its T700 PCIe 5.0 NVMe SSD.
