GoKawiilIt'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.
Save 20% ($500) Gigabyte Aorus Prime 5 Desktop Gaming PC: was $2,499.99 now $1,999.99 at Walmart Get the impressive RTX 5070 Ti Nvidia graphics paired with AMD's Ryzen 7 9700X processor. Plenty of memory for gaming thanks to a large 32GB of DDR5 RAM, and room to install your favorite games on a 2TB SSD.
The RTX 5070 Ti in our review sits comfortably near the top of the charts in this latest generation of graphics cards. The results show a generational improvement in performance over the older 4070 Ti super, and not that far behind the more powerful and more expensive RTX 5080. The 5070 Ti crucially comes with 16GB of VRAM, making it more futureproof and giving it some longevity for gaming.

Try putting together a similar PC build yourself, and you will see straight away how good a deal this current $1,999 Gigabytre Aorus Prime 5 offer is. The gaming PC has liquid cooling, RGB, and plenty of RGB fans, plus a fairly sleek black case with a smoked tempered glass side panel. I'm not a fan of the "Team Up, Fight On." logo on the side panel, but that can be easily modified. You also get less hassle with warranties if something should go wrong. No need to troubleshoot individual parts, and liaise with retailers and manufacturers. The whole unit is under one umbrella. A much better experience if you're not comfortable with taking your PC apart.
