Finding good deals on gaming PCs is more difficult in 2026 than in prior years, but not impossible if you're willing to be patient. For a limited time, Walmart is offering a well-equipped Skytech gaming PC for $1,749 shipped after a $550 discount. It features some of the best AMD hardware in recent years; the Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming CPU and the 4K-capable Radeon RX 9070 XT was our only 10/10 rated GPU in 2025.

The AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming CPU for most people
According to IGN's Jackie Thomas, the AMD Ryzen 7 9800X3D is the best gaming CPU for most people. AMD's 9000 series X3D lineup is unmatched in gaming prowess, even compared to Intel's latest offerings. Although the 9800X3D is the least expensive chip in the series, gaming-wise it performs nearly on par with its pricier siblings. The secret to its gaming performance is the inclusion of 3D-V-Cache technology, which is only found in the X3D CPUs.
The Radeon RX 9070 XT Received a 10/10 at IGN
The AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT is the only 2025-released GPU that we gave a 10/10 score. Even though it costs $150 less than the Nvidia GeForce RTX 5070 Ti, the 9070 XT beats it out in several of the games we tested. In a few benchmarks, the results aren't even close. The 9070 XT approaches the performance of the $1,000 RX 7900 XTX but with better ray tracing and upscaling performance than its predecessor.
This is the least expensive graphics card from either AMD or Nvidia that I would comfortably recommend for playing the latest and most demanding games in 4K at 60fps or higher framerates.
